In Spider-Man 3, bad Spidey equals emo Spidey. As you may recall, when he starts to turn evil, Tobey McGuire looks in the mirror and readjusts his hair into a familiar arrangement: dark bangs pushed forward, covering his eyes. You don’t see him putting on eyeliner, but Peter Parker’s eyes also take on a suspiciously goth-y look. In short, he looks an awful lot like Pete Wentz. The emo-fication is so striking that the guy sitting next to us at one screening shouted “Fall Out Boy!” at the screen.

Wentz hasn’t seen the movie yet, but he’s still bemused at the news that a mega-grossing superhero franchise may have stolen his identity. “My nephew, who doesn’t know anything at all, says I was in a movie,” Pete tells Rolling Stone. “I was like, ‘All right…’ I’ve heard about this from so many people.’” And on Tuesday night, right after our conversation, Wentz went onstage in Moline, Illinois, and shouted “Spider-Man 3 sucks,” before the band launched into their hit “Sugar, We’re Goin’ Down.” Maybe Wentz can play a villain in the inevitable fourth film.
