  • Tom Holland Hopes For Spider-Man to Clash With Wilson Fisk After ‘No Way Home’

    Tom Holland Hopes For Spider-Man to Clash With Wilson Fisk After ‘No Way Home’

    Spider-Man: No Way Home finally releases next week. With numerous villains returning from previous Spider-Man franchises there has been a lot of discussion about future adventures for the webhead. Sony producer Amy Pascal has even suggested there is another trilogy starring Tom Holland in the works. Such a rich comic history means there are lots of suggestions out there about where this Peter Parker could go next. Vincent D’Onofrio recently revealed he’s hoping, if those returning rumors turn out to be true, his Wilson Fisk could go up against Spidey at some point in the future. Holland himself has even had a few similar ideas. 

    In an interview with Fandom.com Tom Holland was asked about some of his ideas for a fourth Spider-Man film could be. He mentions thinking it would be fun to do either an anti-hero version or a low-budget “film about Peter Parker that has nothing to do with Spider-Man.” Both of these suggestions seem in the realms of possibility somehow. His suggestions at a villain are also quite interesting:

    I think there are some interesting villains, I think Madame Web could be something that is really interesting and we could do it in our own way. I’d really like to come up against Wilson Fisk.

    Sometimes fanciful ideas during the promotion of the previous film are worth taking note of to see whether they remerge as genuine continuations of the story. Spider-Man fighting the Kingpin would certainly be an exciting street-level story for Marvel fans. There are numerous rumors about Netflix Marvel characters joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Kevin Feige has teased that. It could be the perfect time for Spidey to reorient himself away from multiversal Avengers level threats back down tackling crime on street level.

  • First ‘The Secrets of Dumbledore’ Teaser Offers First Look at Mads Mikkelsen as Grindelwald

    First ‘The Secrets of Dumbledore’ Teaser Offers First Look at Mads Mikkelsen as Grindelwald

    It was over a year ago that we heard the first rumblings that Johnny Depp was getting replaced in the third entry of the Fantastic Beasts franchise. After making his debut as Grindelwald, he exited the project after production had already begun. Mads Mikkelsen took over the role shortly after. Not too long ago, we got the title of the third entry The Secrets of Dumbledore and we finally got our first look at the entry. While it’s not the fault trailer just yet – that’s eyeing a Monday release – we did get our first look at Mikkelsen as the series main antagonist.

    It’s uncertain what exactly is happening in this sequence, as it seems like he’s being cheered on or even grabbed by a massive group of people. The character has quite a different design from the previous entries, as his bleached white hair is gone with only a slither left behind. His outfit also seems a bit more reserved from Depp‘s take on the character. It’ll b einteresting to see how they tackle the transformation, as it may play similar to how he was revealed in the first one.

  • Tom Holland Already Pitched a ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Sequel

    Tom Holland Already Pitched a ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Sequel

    Spider-Man: No Way Home is just around the corner and we’re about to see the webhead’s biggest story yet. He’s going to face villains from other Spider-Man franchises as the multiverse collapses in on itself. Yet, the question also remains with his identity out there where his story is heading to next. It seems that Tom Holland might have an idea, as he revealed in an interview with Fandom that he actually already pitched an idea for the next entry, but he can’t reveal it quite yet, as he’d “be ruining this movie.”

    So, he’s definitely teasing something that builds off of the events from how No Way Home ends. He does highlight that he is open to passing the mantle on, but it doesn’t seem likely that the actor has played Spidey for the last time. Plus, there’s a lot of potential of seeing his story as he moves to college and faces a new world. We’ll see how Doctor Strange’s actions might leave the world and what it means for the webhead’s future. It wouldn’t be too surprising that he might take a break and play on his storyline from Homecoming, where he wants to stay low and remain the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Here’s hoping that a new trilogy – if they attempt it – might focus more on our favorite webhead as he struggles with some more grounded storylines.

  • First ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Clip Features ‘Hawkeye’ Easter Egg

    First ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Clip Features ‘Hawkeye’ Easter Egg

    It’s all connected. That line was once carried by Agents of SHIELD as it tried to connect the Marvel TV series with its bigger brother on the silver screen. Yet, no matter what happened, the films never acknowledged events from the TV series. Avengers: Endgame was the first with James D’Arcy’s return as Jarvis but it was most likely intended as nothing more than a cameo. With the arrival of the Disney+ series, it seemed like that would change and it seems Spider-Man: No Way Home is starting that new direction.

    The first clip of the threequel has found its way online and includes a very noticeable Hawkeye reference while Peter is swinging MJ to safety. For a few seconds, you can see the newly introduced Rogers: The Musical ad highlighted as they swing by. It’s a great point of continuity that the musical has a strong presence in New York City and also hints that they may take place around the same time.

    Of course, this doesn’t mean that Spidey is suddenly going to show up in Hawkeye – even if that would be a great little surprise – but it continues to highlight how connected Marvel Studios’ various projects are going to be. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will also be the first series where events from the Disney+ series WandaVision will bleed into the latest film entry and it’ll be interesting to see how they might connect moving forward.

  • ‘Hawkeye’ Director Duo Bert and Bertie in Talks With Marvel Studios for Another Project

    ‘Hawkeye’ Director Duo Bert and Bertie in Talks With Marvel Studios for Another Project

    The directing duo Bert & Bertie have just recently tackled some of Hawkeye‘s best episodes and added a nice touch of grounded flair to the overall series. Adapting the My Life as a Weapon sequence with Clint and Kate driving away from the Tracksuit Mafia has made for a memorable live-action adaptation. It’s a shame they only get to direct a few episodes in the series, but it seems that the duo might have a future with Marvel Studios after all.

    In an interview with ComicBook.com, Bert & Bertie discussed their joy of tackling the recent Disney+ release, and especially with the more grounded take on the series. It seems they want to continue their work with that approach, as they’ve “already had conversations with the filmmaker about other franchises.” Of course, they couldn’t reveal anything but Bertie did highlight what their approach would be.

    I think whatever we do, we’d always want to keep a character grounding, whether that’s in the human world, whether that goes elsewhere into the universe, that would be the center of anything we did.

    Bertie

    A grounded story would hint at a potential exploration of our street-level heroes. There are hints that some familiar faces from the Netflix series might make their appearance. So, perhaps they could offer a fresh take on characters like Jessica Jones, or even characters that haven’t gotten a chance in live-action yet. With Echo continuing where Hawkeye likely ends, we might explore more grounded stories moving forward.

  • Tom Holland On How His Brother Got Robert Downey Jr.’s Original Iron Man Helmet

    Tom Holland On How His Brother Got Robert Downey Jr.’s Original Iron Man Helmet

    Many that have worked on the Marvel Studios’ projects have shared frequently how they’re like a family and have stayed in contact in-between productions. Sometimes we get photos of them hanging out during or outside of production, but Tom Holland‘s story during the latest episode of Hot Ones might be one of the more curious. It seems that his family ended up with Robert Downey Jr.’s original Iron Man helmet, which he believes is the “holy grail” souvenir. He shares the story in how he, or ratehr his little brother Patty, received it as a gift.

    My favorite souvenir was actually given to me. Well it wasn’t given to me, it was given to my little brother Patty. When Black Panther was coming out, Robert Downy Jr. was making Dr. Doolittle in London, he was staying down the road from where I live. And he invited us to a screening of Black Panther at his house. When Patty comes running into the room, and he’s holidng the original Iron Man helmet, and Downey had given it to him as a gift.

    Tom Holland

    Poor Tom Holland, he really had to fight through this interview with those hot wings. Yet, you can still see how emotional he gets talking about how important that moment felt to him as a later addition to the franchise, especially with the close relationship he built with Robert Downey Jr. throughout his time with the franchise.

  • ‘No Way Home’ Cast Want Timothée Chalamet as Harry Osborn in a Future ‘Spider-Man’ Film

    ‘No Way Home’ Cast Want Timothée Chalamet as Harry Osborn in a Future ‘Spider-Man’ Film

    The MCU’s take on Spider-Man has made a few tweaks here or there to make the hero stand out from previous entries. Ever since the Sam Raimi trilogy introduced many of the iconic elements we’ve come to love about the iconic characters. Yet, the Amazing and MCU franchise tried to not stand out from the previous entries. It seemed like Jacob Batalon‘s Ned Leeds replaced the character of Harry Osborn, but it seems like the cast would love to introduce the character in the future. Not just that, they’ve also had a plan for who would be a perfect choice.

    In an interview with AP Entertainment, No Way Home’s main cast discussed Zendaya‘s co-star Timothée Chalamet. Not just that, they even pitched that he would make a perfect choice to take on the role of Harry Osborn that Dane DeHaan and James Franco took on in the previous entries. Tom Holland, Batalon, and Zendaya believe that Timothée Chalamet is the perfect choice to take on the role next.

    He’d be a good Harry Osborn. I think it’d be good to bring him in as an FOS and then he kind of becomes bad. Then he can be a good villain. He’d be a good villain.

    Tom Holland

    A late introduction of Harry Osborn as a potential villain is quite an interesting idea. There was a time where he was made out to be the Green Goblin by his own father, like in the animated series Spectacular Spider-Man. Of course, with the multiverse existing, it would be interesting to see how his actions influence

  • Tom Hardy Filmed ‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage’s Post-Credit Sequence on the ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Set

    Tom Hardy Filmed ‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage’s Post-Credit Sequence on the ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Set

    Here’s a rather interesting surprise. CinemaBlend shared their interviews for the upcoming release of Spider-Man: No Way Home. They got a chance to sit down with Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal about the leaks and rumors that hit the Internet. They also got a chance to sit down with Jacob Batalon, Zendaya, and Tom Holland to discuss the upcoming release. Of course, after Venom: Let There Be Carnage released that post-credit sequence, he was asked about his appearance in the spinoff. Luckily, he offered an interesting insight into how it came together, as he states that:

    I was on set, Amy Pascal came over to me and had a conversation about it. I was very excited. Tom Hardy came to set only a few days later to film his side of the Venom tag.

    Tom Holland

    So, it’s interesting that Tom Hardy filmed his post-credit sequence on the No Way Home set. Holland doesn’t appear in person but rather on a TV screen. So, it does open up the question of why he would go out of his way to film there. Perhaps he’ll have an appearance in the upcoming threequel, as part of a post-credit sequence, as Holland says he “filmed his side of the Venom tag.”

    The third entry in the MCU film will introduce the multiverse into Spider-Man’s story. It’s uncertain if this opens up to future storylines or rather remains as a special occurrence during this project. The way Venom arrives in the MCU is still a bit unclear and we’ll see if a third entry might open up what his role is moving forward.

  • ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’s Michael Giacchino Working on ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ Next

    ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’s Michael Giacchino Working on ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ Next

    Michael Giacchino has built up quite a reputation within the industry as the go-to composer for superhero projects. He’s just recently finished up his work with Spider-Man: No Way Home and The Batman. It’s his third Spider-Man entry of the MCU after working on Coco, Jurassic World, Star Trek Beyond, Doctor Strange, and so many more. He’s come a long way since he put his name on the map with the Lost series. It looks like he’s already eyed his next project, as he’s confirmed he’ll tackle Thor: Love and Thunder next on Twitter.

    Taika Waititi is continuing his work he started with 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok, where Thor was cast out by his own sister and meets up with an old ally. The upcoming sequel will build where his story arc ended up in Avengers: Endgame, as he sets out alongside the Guardians of the Galaxy to find his place in the world. It’s surprising that Giacchino is taking over the composer role this time around, as Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo fame worked on the last entries’ soundtrack. He added a unique audio layer to what you’d expect from a Norse god. So, we’ll see if he builds upon what came before, or Waititi decided to give each entry a new visual style to make it stand out. My personal hope would be to fully commit to the Norse themes and make Love and Thunder stand out from the rest.
