'Spider-Man' the reboot is confirmed to be written by John Francis Daley and Jonathan M Goldstein.
The Marvel film's writer has been allowed to talk about his role for the first time since, despite there being no announcement by the film company.
The 'Horrible Bosses' writers confirmed: "We can finally acknowledge. That this is the first time we that we can say that we are writing it."
Talking about the main character Peter Parker - who will be played by Tom Holland - John believes "humour" is key to his part.
He told website www.npr.org: "He's a sharp kid and witty and kind of deals with the fact that he's an outcast and a geek through humor. It is sort of the safety net for geeks like us, so I think we can totally relate to where he's coming from. As well as the superpowers, which we also have."
The directors also said they "haven't seen" the "non-stop wit" he portrays in the film.
They added: "When he puts that mask on in the comics, he has a non-stop wit that is almost as troublesome to the bad guys he is fighting as his webs and agility. And we feel we really haven't seen that in the movies. That's just the tip of the iceberg."

Kate Mara says her new movie 'Fantatsic Four' is "grounded in reality".
The 32-year-old actress has joined the cast of the latest addition to the Marvel franchise, replacing Jessica Alba as Sue Storm - aka The Invisible Woman - and believes the superheroes are pioneers of good family values and are actually down to earth compared to their counterparts.
She said: "It is quite raw and I think it is more grounded in reality than people are used to seeing. Usually superheroes operate alone, but the 'Fantastic Four' is about family who are at their greatest when working as a team. I so enjoyed interacting with the others, rather than carrying it on my own. I just love the three guys (co-stars Jamie Bell, Miles Teller ad Michael B Jordan who play The Thing, Mr Fantastic and The Human Torch).
"Though sometimes at the end of a 13-hour day of filming, they'd want to go out, and I'd be like, "I love you guys, but I just don't want to be with you anymore!"
But the star - whose younger sister is Rooney Mara from 'The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo' - is excited for the film's reception and has signed up for more appearances.
She told Daily Mail's You magazine: "When it's time to film the next one, I will definitely be ready to play Sue again. I wouldn't have signed on if I hadn't been up for it."

Nicole Kidman thinks it's harder to be a young actor these days.
The 48-year-old actress, who is married to country music star Keith Urban, believes it's a lot harder to be famous in Hollywood now than it was when she was married to ex-husband Tom Cruise because of social media.
She explained: "We're the generation that got to duck all of that. When I was with Tom, I don't remember paparazzi sitting outside our house . . . not like now. This is different."
The Australian beauty formed a close bond with 25-year-old actress Mia Wasikowska on the film 'Stoker' in 2013 and generously offered to help her in any way she could.
She said: "I said, 'You call me anytime. Anytime you need to ask something.' That's probably my maternal side, but it's also a responsibility in the industry. It's a tough world now. It always was, but it's particularly tough now."
But Nicole, who has two daughters with Keith, and two adopted older children with Tom, has no regrets about sharing personal details about her life in previous interviews.
She told the August issue of US Vogue magazine: "I've experienced adoption. I've experienced birth with a genetic child. I've experienced surrogacy with a genetic child. I speak openly about it because so many of my friends are discussing it. It's important for other women to go, 'I get it!'"
Nicole moved to Nashville with Keith several years ago and thinks it has impacted her career because she misses out on "the power of face-to-face" meetings with producers and directors.
But she added: "I can read here. I can write here. I can hike. I can take my kids to school. I can live the way I've always wanted to live. A life. A real life."

Kellan Lutz says working with Bruce Willis was "a dream come true".
The 30-year-old actor recently wrapped up shooting the thriller 'Extraction' with the 60-year-old star and is thrilled to have ticked it off his bucket-list.
Asked about the experience, he told In Touch Weekly: "A dream come true. I had auditioned to play his kid [in 2007's 'Live Free or Die Hard']. I didn't get it, and was bummed. But things happen for a reason. Now I've worked with Bruce!"
The former 'Twilight Saga' star recently admitted he is "looking for that wifey" and is ready to settle down, but is still looking for the right woman.
Discussing his ideal spouse, he said: "Someone who's kind and genuine - and loves life and is willing to be adventurous."
But Kellan, who has a huge crush on Jessica Biel, also has a lot of turn-offs.
He added: "Being with someone who constantly checks her phone. It is so important to be in the moment."
The heartthrob hopes to have a family of his own in the next five years.
Asked where he wants to be in 2020, he said: "Acting, working on my fashion line, Abbot + Main, and having a family of my own. I definitely want marriage and little Kellans running around."

Jake Gyllenhaal always watches his movies twice.
The 'Southpaw' actor thinks he gets a better "perspective" and can take things in properly if he doesn't just watch his performances once.
He said: "I think the first time you watch anything, you're like, 'Woah', and then you watch it again and it's better.
"My rule is always to watch it twice to really get perspective."
Though the 34-year-old actor had to bulk up to play a heavyweight boxer in 'Southpaw', exercising for five hours a day for five months, he found it more difficult shedding the pounds for his role in 'Nightcrawler'.
He told heat magazine: "I'd say that depriving myself, both psychologically and with food, like I did in 'Nightcrawler' was particularly hard.
"And it was a totally different character - the character in 'Southpaw' is surrounded by a great family and is a really loving guy, deep down.
"But I don't think the same about Lou Bloom in 'Nightcrawler'."

Ethan Hawke admits his career can be a "strain" on his wife.
The 'Boyhood' actor feels "very lucky" that spouse Ryan - the mother of his daughters Clementine, six, and Indiana, three - is so supportive of his work but he knows the fact he is frequently away from home isn't easy on her.
He said: "I'm very lucky in that I have a beautiful wife who is not just a wonderful woman in my life but who is also a very good mother and she's willing to give me the freedom to keep working even though sometimes it's a strain on her."
The 44-year-old star - who also has kids Maya, 15, and Levon, 12, with ex-wife Uma Thurman - thinks he is becoming a better father as he gets older and hopes he lives up to his own expectations as a parent.
He added to Sorted magazine: "I love being at home with my children more than I ever have.
"I think you learn from experience not just how to be a better father but to be a more compassionate and interesting and caring man that feeds into every aspect of your life.
"I just hope I'm able to be as involved and inspiring a father as I can be and the one I would like to be."

Brie Larson and Russell Crowe are reportedly set to appear alongside Tom Hiddleston in 'Kong: Skull Island'. The 25-year-old actress - who's known for her roles in 'Scott Pilgrim vs. the World' and '21 Jump Street' - and the Oscar-winning star are on ...

Cynthia Nixon thinks it would be "fun" to reprise the role of Miranda Hobbes from 'Sex and the City'.
The 49-year-old actress - who played the character in the two feature films and the iconic TV series - has revealed she misses working with her former co-star Blair Underwood and would be happy to return to the part of Miranda in order to work with him once more.
Asked about the future of the franchise, Cynthia said: "I'm grateful I don't have to be the person who decides what happens to them next.
"We have had so many great guest stars over the years, and it would be fun to see some of those come back. I'm doing a play out in Massachusetts and Blair Underwood is here and it makes me miss him so much. I'd like to bring Blair back into Miranda's life again."
Meanwhile, the actress also admitted to being surprised that people still confuse her with her on-screen persona.
She told The Guardian newspaper: "I was in Antwerp doing a film and I got accosted in a restaurant by some women out on a hen night.
"They wanted me to talk into their cameras and give them marriage advice.
"I was like, 'I'm having lunch now.' There has been no new 'Sex and the City' material for so long but it just does still seem to keep going - I don't even understand how that works."

Dave Bautista's 'Spectre' character is the "most badass dude" James Bond has ever encountered.
The 46-year-old wrestler-turned actor - who stars as Mr. Hinx in the eagerly-awaited new Bond movie - has given an insight into his 'Spectre' role, saying he'll rank among the most dastardly in the history of the franchise.
Speaking during a Twitter Q&A with IMDb, Dave was asked whether Mr. Hinx was inspired by any previous Bond henchmen, to which he replied: "I didn't actually craft Mr Hinx to Rival others. He is simply the most badass dude Bond has ever come up against. (sic)"
And while Dave was reluctant to reveal specific details of the new movie, he promised 'Spectre' will "raise the bar" once again.
Asked how the Sam Mendes-directed 'Spectre' will be distinct from previous movies, he said: "I think the magic will be not making it different but raising the bar from Bonds past."
Dave also revealed that having realised his ambition of starring in a Bond movie, he now has his sights set on appearing in another iconic franchise, 'Star Wars'.
Queried about his future career ambitions, he said: "Be in a freakin Star Wars film!!! Im 0-2 as of right now...
"Eventually they'll stick me in a Stormtrooper suit just to stop me from bugging them! (sic)"
