‘Spider-Man No Way Home’ Heading to Starz “Over the Next 6 Months”

Spider-Man: No Way Home has just dominated the international box office, and eyes are already on when it might find its way into our homes. It turns out, the big winner might end up being Starz, as Deadline unveils in an interview with its CEO Jeffrey Hirsch that it’ll release on the service sometime “over the next six months.” So, we can expect its release sooner rather than later, as they aim to utilize big-name projects to grow their original offerings as well by creating strong viewership retention.

Ours is a retention game, not an acquisition game. Lining up content week to week, 52 weeks a year. Seeking to move our core audience from one show to the next.
Jeffrey Hirsch

It’s a smart strategy, which Netflix has also utilized when offering their originals based on existing IPs. Their plan makes sense, as it focuses on finding crossover between their target audiences between projects, and no project had a wide acceptance like Spider-Man: No Way Home. So, it’s one of the biggest films to get your hands on right now, especially with those interested in watching it again once it’s available at home. It would be interesting to see how big the film will be once it gets a home release, especially with the promise of over 100 minutes of additional content.

‘Across the Spider-Verse’ Producers Hint at MCU Crossover

Fan-favorite Hollywood creatives Phil Lord and Chris Miller have a lot on their plates with the highly-anticipated sequel to their smash hit Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. The next film in the series, the first of a two-part story, promises to introduce audiences to a plethora of new and exciting spider-verses. Just which ones viewers will see is still being kept mostly under wraps, though the world of Marvel 2099 seems like a safe bet, and the realm of Spider-Man: India was teased in the movie’s first trailer.

One fun idea fans haven’t been able to shake is the idea of a crossover with the live-action MCU. While the thought might have once seemed far-fetched, the multiversal shenanigans of Spider-Man: No Way Home have made anything seem possible. During a recent interview with the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Miller and Lord were asked directly about the possibility of a surprise universal overlap, and a connection between the MCU’s multiverse and their own. The answer was more optimistic than expected:

The Multiverse is big and wide. And all things grow… Why would you think a Multiverse, in which many things are possible, that [those things are] not related?
Chris Miller

Lord continued with the quip, “Everything’s possible except for this one thing that everyone wants.” Obviously, this confirms nothing. However, it does leave the door open for an animated Tom Holland to swing his way Across the Spider-Verse. Or even better, for a live-action Shameik Moore to appear as Miles Morales.

New ‘Ms. Marvel’ Set Photos Tease a ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Connection

It looks like set photos have slowly found their way online from the Ms. Marvel reshoots, which offer a curious update on what we can expect from the Disney+ series. What stands out is that these photos not only include Iman Vellani in the costume that was briefly teased in the initial Disney+ Day trailer, but the fact she is seemingly chased down by a very familiar-looking drone to Spider-Man fans.

Spider-Man: Far From Home viewers might instantly recognize the drone that Mysterio used to pin everything on Peter Parker. With the help of EDITH, these Stark Tech drones ended up causing a lot of damage to London Bridge. That wasn’t the last we saw of them, as they would eventually show up in No Way Home as the government seized the assets after Parker was blamed for Mysterio’s murder. So, there’s a chance that someone got their hand on it and repurposed You can check the images shared by @CosmicMMedia here:

It’s really interesting to see the drones make a return even if they aren’t the exact same that we saw back in No Way Home. Stark’s legacy might live on, but it opens up the question of who might be controlling them if they are chasing down Kamala. She may have her abilities already at this point. So, someone is out there trying to control the meta-human population. It’s not too dissimilar to Marvel’s Avengers plot, which also focused on the young Inhuman.

Charlie Cox Finally Breaks Silence on Daredevil Return in ‘No Way Home’

A handful of actors are breathing sighs of relief since the film they’re in, Spider-Man: No Way Home premiered a little under two months ago. One of those actors is Charlie Cox, who in his MCU debut reprised his role as Matt Murdock. Cox, for the past few months, has been doing his best to mask his excitement over the truth. That’s now over though as the actor has finally given his first interview since the film’s release.

I don’t think I’ve done any interviews. I still don’t know what the rules are. Obviously, it’s now known that I’m in Spider-Man. So, yeah. But more than that, I don’t know, and the little I do know, I’m obviously not going to say. But the only thing I would say is that for a long time I was asked these questions and I genuinely had not heard anything.

Fans who diligently follow leaks and rumors are aware that Daredevil may be slated for a handful of appearances down the road, with the most likely one being She-Hulk. In addition to that, those rumored appearances are said to feature Daredevil with his Silver Age yellow suit. Should this turn out true, the little Cox knows may not be so little after all.

Cox defended himself a little bit by jokingly stating that while he lied, he hadn’t been lying as long as fans assumed.

For years, I have been asked questions about returning as Daredevil, and the genuine truth was I 100% assumed that was gone, that ship had just sailed. I didn’t hear from any of the folks at Marvel for a couple of years. It does now look like I was lying for a long time, I actually wasn’t, I was only lying for a little bit of time. You still don’t want to spoil it for people.

RUMOR: ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Special Features Includes A New Matt Murdock Deleted Scene

Spider-Man: No Way Home is filled to the brim with cameos, heartfelt storytelling, and memorable moments. It made you wonder how much we might expect from the Blu-ray release of what didn’t make it into the film, as 100 minutes of bonus content was teased early on. Insider Amit Chaudhari has seemingly released the entire list of special content, which includes the various deleted scenes. what stands out is “Happy’s Very Good Lawyer” which may tease an extension of Charlie Cox‘s return as Matt Murdock.

There also seems to be an extended interrogation sequence as well as more of Peter’s return to Midtown High. Of course, there are no exact details included to what the names mean and it doesn’t mean we’ll necessarily get more of Cox, but it may hint at how he ended up as Peter’s lawyer in the film. You can check out the full list right here:

Amit has been reliable in the past, and it’s unsure if the list might still undergo some changes ahead of its home and digital release. 100 minutes of No Way Home is certainly an exciting prospect and it makes you wonder if we’ll see more of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. It would be fun to get some small snippets from behind-the-scenes footage that teases their grins wearing the iconic outfits again. We’ll see what it has in store for fans once it releases.

‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’s Earlier Drafts Featured More Matt Murdock

There were a lot of exciting moments in Spider-Man: No Way Home. In the earliest scenes, we get a cameo by Charlie Cox, who made his grand return as Matt Murdock. The film’s writers, Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers recently appeared in an episode of The Q&A with Jeff Goldsmith. They revealed that they initially planned to feature the blind lawyer in more scenes, but wanted to keep a stronger focus on Spider-Man.

Ultimately, we always had to pull back on a lot of things to just make sure we maintained our focus.
Erik Sommers and Chris McKenna

It does make sense that they wouldn’t want to add more to the already massive film. With appearances from Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, familiar villains from Spider-Man‘s cinematic history, and Doctor Strange, the fact he even appeared seems like a miracle. Even if we only got one scene featuring the character, it was quite the memorable one with his “I’m a very good lawyer” line.

Of course, we hope to see more of Cox‘s character in the near future, as Marvel Studios starts to embrace the Netflix characters. We don’t know what the future has in store, but they might have some big plans for the fan-favorite characters. Here’s hoping they might reveal at some point if we might’ve even seen Murdock suit up as Daredevil at one point in the film#s production.

New ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Concept Art Offers Closer Look at Unused Villain Designs

Spider-Man: No Way Home has been dominating the box office, as it combined a heartfelt story with the right amount of nostalgia to keep things interesting. Of course, a big part of that is due to the returning villains that many of us grew up watching on the silver screen. Concept artist Christian Cordella has offered a closer look at some of the designs that the characters had at one point in development, such as a new jacket for Doc Ock.

.

That’s not all, as we also got a closer look at how they originally envisioned Green Goblin and even Sandman. While Osborne’s design is quite close to what we saw in the film, the latter was envisioned to appear as a human throughout No Way Home. It seems Thomas Haden Church wasn’t able to return in person, but still voiced the character.

Of course, a big part of the film’s marketing focused on Jamie Foxx‘s return as Elektro and his revamped design from The Amazing Spider-Man 2. We got a closer design to his comic route and it looks like it was originally going to be a bit sleeker with the yellow lightning on his costume.

View this post on Instagram

It’s always great to get some insight into how designs change over time, and it’s curious how they wanted to change most of their designs before falling back on what they were iconic for back in their original appearances. Elektro is the only one who really went through a massive change, but that was also given in-universe reasoning. We haven’t seen anything on Lizard yet and they might even have concept art of villains that didn’t make the film like Rhino.

‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Passes $1 Billion in International Markets

Spider-Man: No Way Home has proven to have quite impressive legs throughout its box office run. While all eyes are on the future entries of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, that hasn’t stopped Sony from continuing to enjoy the rollout of the film, which has now officially passed $1 billion in international markets. Now, the film stands at an impressive $1.74B worldwide and still has no real competition until the March release of The Batman.

After Scream briefly took over the weekend two weeks ago, Spidey passed it once again and now remains at the top spot from last week. Jon Watts‘ latest film is slowly nearing the $2B total box office without a release in China, which was supposedly signed off but has not been confirmed as of now. Its strongest market in the UK, where it becomes the best superhero title with $120.1M and also stands at a strong sixth spot.

That market is followed by Mexico ($74.4M), Korea ($61.5M), and France ($61.2M) as some of the strongest performers internationally. The film has become the highest-grossing film of its genre throughout 19 territories, which may be a testament to just how much staying power Spider-Man has as a franchise.

New ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Merch Features All Three Spider-Men

It looks like it took some time until we finally got some merchandise featuring all three Spider-Men from Spider-Man: No Way Home. It’s been dominating the box office since its December release, but Sony wanted to keep it a secret for long as possible. Luckily, the wait is over, as new merchandise has found its way online featuring Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland‘s take on the characters finally united. The first t-shirt replicates the iconic “I love you guys!” moment from the finale.

Always wanted socks featuring each Spider-Man’s iconic logo in addition to the numbering they are given in the film’s finale as Peter 1, Peter 2, and Peter 3.

There’s also a great one featuring everyone’s iconic design with the statement that “The Multiverse is Real!” Doctor Strange certainly isn’t going to be happy about that aspect once his film releases in May of this year.

Probably a personal favorite is an overlay of all three Spider-Man logos, which ironically had a fake leak around a month before it’s release, as the discussions surrounding their arrival in the project was at its peak without a confirmation.

The new merchandise showcased on the Marvel site includes quite a bit more, as the various villains also got their own focus, such as some new logos designed inspired by Electro, Green Goblin, and Dock Ock. There are some great designs and Marvel is certainly banking on some of the iconic moments from the film. We’ll see if this is just the beginning of their merchanidse roll-out as they milk this cash cow as much as they can.

Sam Raimi Shares His Thoughts on ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’

Tobey Maguire‘s return as Spider-Man in No Way Home was one of the worst kept secrets in Hollywood. Yet, the moment he returned still became a big moment for anyone visiting a cinema, as the film became the first one to become a massive hit while others struggled during the pandemic. What makes his return so interesting is that the director of the original trilogy, Sam Raimi, also is returning to the Marvel universe with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

So, the director is slowly preparing to discuss his latest film and In an interview with Variety, he was asked about his thoughts on Spider-Man: No Way Home. He shared his thoughts on the film and also the delight of seeing the actors return to the roles he once cast them in. It looks like he had quite enjoyed the film and the fun of seeing those familiar faces return.

It was so much fun. I love ‘No Way Home’ and the audience I was with went crazy. It was delightful to watch Alfred play his role, and Willem Dafoe, just seeing these guys take it to the next level. And Tobey was awesome as always. The best word I can say is it was refreshing for me.
Sam Raimi

It must be a strange feeling to see elements of your own story make a return on the silver screen. The film managed to find a good balance of continuing their original stories and even trying to redeem them, which becomes a core narrative for Tom Holland‘s Peter Parker. There’s a sense of irony that a Spider-Man film would also be the set-up for his newest entry in the Marvel universe.
