  • Sony and Marvel Studios Have Not Finalized a Deal for Post-‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ After All

    Sony and Marvel Studios Have Not Finalized a Deal for Post-‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ After All

    Here’s a curious development. Sony and Marvel Studios’ third Spider-Man film is about to release with No Way Home. Just as the tickets went on sale, we are starting to get some teases of the future for Tom Holland‘s time as the webhead. Producer Amy Pascal earlier today revealed that they are already working on the next trilogy and confirmed that there’s already a deal in place for the upcoming three films. Well, turns out that might not be the full picture just yet.

    So, even though that quote seemed like a definite deal was in place, The Hollywood Reporter has shared that Sony insiders are not aware of any official plans being in place just yet. Yes, Sony wants to continue working with Holland and Feige but there’s nothing concrete finalized for any trilogy or future film.

    Of course, if cooperation is wanted on both sides, it’ll definitely happen. Plus, the MCU connection has boosted quite a few of their projects and it would be strange to pull the plug right after Venom: Let There Be Carnage teased a meeting between the two. Marvel Studios also likes to keep some cards close to the chest. So, we might get a clearer picture on Spidey’s future in the new year.

  • Report: ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Locks in Final Runtime

    Report: ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Locks in Final Runtime

    With the first press screening reportedly taking place next week, the final cut of Spider-Man: No Way Home has been prepared and, thanks to a new report, we know exactly how long it will be…down to the second. According to Big Screen Leaks, an account that leaks information about projects seen on a big screen, the threequel will clock in at 148 minutes and 1 second.

    https://twitter.com/bigscreenleaks/status/1464441402645962755

    Earlier this week, RPK News revealed that Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire’s screen time in the film would be roughly 30-minutes. With the news of the film’s runtime now available, we can calculate that the 2 non-Holland Peters will be on screen for 20 percent of the film, kindly leaving 80 percent for the rest of the actors, including Charlie Cox.

    As always, reported runtimes include mid and post credit scenes and the credits, so you can expect the film to be a little closer to 2 hours and 15 minutes in length, but the reported 2 hour and 28 minute runtime places it just ahead of Captain America: Civil War’s 2 hour and 27 minutes and just behind Avengers: Infinity War’s 2 hours and 29 minutes and as Marvel Studios fourth longest film behind Avengers: Endgame (3:01), Eternals (2:37) and the aforementioned Infinity War. No Way Home will be the longest MCU Spider-Man film, with Homecoming having clocked in 2 hours and 13 minutes and Far From Home running 2 hours and 9 minutes. It will also be the longest running Spider-Man movie to date, with only The Amazing Spider-Man 2 coming close at 2 hours and 22 minutes. With so many characters sharing the stage and so much to do as the final film of a trilogy, it’s no surprise we’re seeing an extended runtime.

    Spider-Man: No Way Home will hit U.S. theaters December 17th.

  • New ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Posters Offer Closer Look New Green Goblin Design.

    New ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Posters Offer Closer Look New Green Goblin Design.

    With Spider-Man: No Way Home’s marketing now starting to kick into gear, we’re beginning to see more marketing material for the threequel. The Twitter accounts of GSC Cinemas in Malaysia and Sony Pictures Japan shared three new official posters for the upcoming. The two posters coming from Malaysia feature Spidey and Doctor Strange prominently alongside the many multiversal elements.

    The Japanese poster, however, includes a rather curious new detail, as while Doc Ock’s arms are also feature as they have done in other posters, one element has changed. Green Goblin is hovering in the background on his Goblin Glider. Yet, if you take a closer look it’s a version we briefly were teased about in the latest trailer, where he has left his iconic mask behind. The Japanese poster uses the multiversal elements sublimely to create a seeming Mirror Dimension border with Electro at its core. We even get a tease of the Lizard’s shadow.

    The focus on much of the marketing so far has been clearly suggesting the multiversal origins of these villains. It is revealed “they all die fighting Spider-Man” in their universes, as highlighted in the trailer. This presents a scenario where he will likely feel responsible for these villains’ deaths if they get sent back to their own universes. Attempting to save these villains is a very Peter Parker thing to do. With tickets set to go on sale soon, it’s exciting to think about how close we are getting to the film’s release and being able to see it for ourselves!

  • Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man Spotted in a New ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Promo

    Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man Spotted in a New ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Promo

    At this rate, we#re going to see Spider-Man everywhere. Twitter user @dominic_kravitz shared a new promo for Spider-Man: No Way Home that advertises a new toy for dogs from the brand BARK. In it, we get a pretty cool visual (that should’ve been one of the posters) with Spider-Man in the forefront of a Daily Bugle newspaper. Yet, once you start looking closer some things don’t quite add up as the

    Now, what stands out is that the version of Daily Bugle is showcased in the version used in Tobey Maguire‘s run as the character. Ironically, if you take a closer look, the head of Maguire’s Spider-Man suit is hidden away in the far right corner once again adding to the discussion of his eventual appearance.

    His costume certainly matches with Maguires due to the heavy emphasis of the costume’s webbing. It’s a staple of his costume and even stands out in a black and white image. Just yesterday, we already had a tease in the form of the latest TV Spot, where Doctor Strange goes out of his way to confirm that Doc Ock doesn’t recognize Tom Holland‘s Peter Parker outside of his suit.

    So, the evidence is continuing to grow about his appearance and we’re only a few more weeks away until the third entry of MCU’s take on the web crawler releases in theaters. Let’s see if Sony continues to tease us in the coming weeks. Still no sign of Andrew Garfield though.

  • Latest ‘No Way Home’ Spot Teases Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man

    Latest ‘No Way Home’ Spot Teases Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man

    Spider-Man: No Way home is probably the film with the least secrets at this point. Most of the villains have been leaked quite sometime before we even got a trailer, but the uncertainty about what is and what isn’t fake kept many speculating. The latest trailer did give us a clearer picture of the sinister threat Tom Holland‘s Spider-Man is about to face, it also gave us our first reference to “another” Spider-Man due to Alfred Molina‘s Doc Ock realizing he’s attacking a different one. There was quite an emphasis on that moment and the latest spot by Sony even kicks-off by once again hinting at there being a different Spider-Man. In a way, it seems that they are trying to offer more hints on the appearance of Tobey Maguire in the upcoming threequel.

    It isn’t a coincidence that Sony is going out of their way for this exchange between Octavius and Doctor Strange. Plus, if this scene remains in the film, it’ll likely act as a set-up. The question still remains how or when they might show up, as there hasn’t been an official tease of the also long-rumored appearance of Andrew Garfield‘s Peter Parker. Some of his villains are included with Lizard and Elektro proudly showcased in the last trailer. So, perhaps we get a line that’ll tease his appearance in another trailer. We don’t know if Lizard has kept some humanoid aspects. It’s likely that Elektro might highlight his despising of spider-themed superheroes.

  • ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’s The Daily Bugle Gets an Official TikTok Account

    ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’s The Daily Bugle Gets an Official TikTok Account

    Spider-Man: No Way Home‘s marketing is in full force, as they’ve created an entire TikTok channel for the in-universe Daily Bugle. Not just that, fellow Midtown High student, Angourie Rice‘s Betty Brant, is the service’s new intern and will host various videos alongside J.K. Simmons‘ J. Jonah Jameson. It’s a clever way to advertise the upcoming film without showing too much footage. It’s similar in style to when they created videos ahead of Ant-Man’s release that is from the in-universe news channel WHIH Newsfront. You can check out the TikTok account by clicking here. @BrandonDavisBD also uploaded the pic featuring Brant’s introduction on Twitter which you can check out here:

    It’s quite a clever idea to advertise the film and its in-universe events. Sadly, the WHIH concept only ran for a limited time and wasn’t recurringly brought back. It would be great to see the Daily Bugle be a recurring element in the MCU’s future. Betty Brant’s addition is also a great touch, as she is famously part of the news organization in the comics. So, it’ll be interesting to see if she has a future with the company moving forward and there is even a reference to it in the upcoming No Way Home film.

  • Latest ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Teaser Features Elektro with an Arc Reactor

    Latest ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Teaser Features Elektro with an Arc Reactor

    There are quite a few interesting details once you start looking at some of the latest TV spots in detail. Marvel Studios is famous for including small references that tie together the Marvel Cinematic Universe in creative ways. Well, it looks like @cosmic_marvel has noticed quite a remarkable detail in one of the latest Spider-Man: No Way Home teasers, as we get our best look yet at Jamie Foxx‘s Elektro. Yet, the big part is that we get a closer look at his new costume and what is probably powering his energy flux, an Iron Man-esque arc reactor.

    He’s not the only classic Spider-Man villain getting a Stark upgrade, as we recently learned how Doc Ock gets his new and improved arms in the second trailer release. We can clearly see that the Iron Spider suit is damaged and during the bridge fight he’ll get his upgrade. As such, it might be easy to assume that Tom Holland‘s Peter Parker has one somewhere in his upgraded suit. So, perhaps Doc Ock gets his hands on it and upgrades Elektro with it to make him a bigger threat. It would be similar to what Octavius does in the 2018 Spider-Man game.

    Of course, there’s also the chance that he steals it from a Stark lab somewhere. Tony built a giant one underwater to power the city and his suits are probably still around somewhere. Perhaps one was included in a museum, similar to that of Captain America, and he steals it to get a much-needed upgrade. Who knows how little control he has over his powers and that is why he requires the suit upgrade.

  • More ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ TV Spots Offers New Footage of Spidey vs. Doc Ock

    More ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ TV Spots Offers New Footage of Spidey vs. Doc Ock

    It looks like the Spider-Man: No Way Home marketing is in full force by Sony, as not only was a TV spot found online featuring a closer look at Lizard, we also got two more that offer a closer look at the fight between Spidey and Alfred Molina‘s return as Doc Ock. The first features are quite a bit more of the bridge fight that we saw, as Doc Ock faces off against Spider-Man not realizing it isn’t the one he knows, which is perfectly highlighted by PeteR’s confusion asking who he is. So, it confirms that Peter has no idea that his actions unleashed villains from other universes.

    There’s a fun nod with Doc Ock feeling a bit jealous about Spidey also having additional legs of his own. It’s so interesting seeing him come out of the car with them and it’ll be interesting how they might get used in the battle sequence. It gives him a way to counter his multi-limbed enemy but the trailer does tease that his new nemesis will have the advantage at one point in the fight, as we see his Iron Spider suit damaged at one point.

    We’ve seen Green Goblin on the same bridge, which makes you wonder if he perhaps is the one that tips the scale in advantage for Molina‘s returning character. We’re only a few weeks away from it finally releasing, so here’s hoping that they’ll keep the rest of the film under lock and key. Who knows what other surprises are still heading our way once the film finally releases.

  • New ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ TV Spot Offers Closer Look at Lizard

    New ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ TV Spot Offers Closer Look at Lizard

    It looks like they finally kicked off the marketing campaign for Spider-Man: No Way Home, as a new TV spot has been found that teases the upcoming film. Even better, it includes new footage such as more of the teased Happy Hogan sequence and some dialogue from J. Jonah Jameson. Yet, the highlight is that it also gave us our best look yet at The Amazing Spider-Man‘s Lizard, who only had a brief cameo as part of a group shot in the second trailer. Twitter user @spiderbruv shared the footage from the new TV spot.

    https://twitter.com/spiderbruv/status/1462343982105587714

    It’s great that they are sticking to the Amazing Spider-Man design, as it makes the character easier recognizable as part of that specific universe. It does open up the question of whether these characters will ever make an appearance later down the line with more comic-accurate designs, but it would make for an interesting conflict for Peter. He knows what happened to them in other dimensions, which means he will try his best to make sure it doesn’t happen yet his Parker Luck might lead them down the same path either way.

    We’re still a few weeks away from the official release, and we’ll see how much more footage might find its way online. They’ve pretty much revealed all the villains that’ll take on our favorite wall-crawler. So, they might try to stick to what they have, or else they might spoil too much. Sony is infamous for overmarketing its offerings, which hopefully won’t be the case this time.

  • ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Early Forecast Eyeing $500M+ Worldwide Opening

    ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Early Forecast Eyeing $500M+ Worldwide Opening

    We’ve all been wondering if Spider-Man: No Way Home might be the first film to break the current curse the box office is facing with the pandemic. We’re far away from where we were back in 2019 but there’s a lot of hope that it may be our first film to pass the one billion mark at the worldwide box office. Its December release could also add a nice push, as the Star Wars franchise changed its potential and it became a popular hot spot for big releases. Its sentiment rankings are trending ahead of Avengers: Endgame and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. It also helped that the first trailer release garnered 355.5 million views within just 24 hours ahead of some of the franchise’s biggest. As such, the long forecast has the film eyeing an international release between $375M to $525M.

    That means that domestically, it’s currently on route to near a $200M opening. This is quite noteworthy if you consider that no film has opened past the $100M mark since before the pandemic. For now, its prediction sets it between $135M to $185M. Its critical reception, as seen with Eternals, and general marketing push could push it even further, as Venom: Let There Be Carnage dips into the same target audience and managed to pass expectations by quite a bit.

    Keep in mind, these are early predictions that offer a feeling for where the film might potentially be heading. We’re still about a month out and some countries are adding quarantine restrictions once again that could hamper its box office in specific countries. Yet, it‘s eyeing a release in China, which will give the film an extra boost. It seems unlikely it might reach the $2 billion mark but it might be the first one to break through the pandemic.
