    UPDATE: Andrew Garfield’s Stunt Double on ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 3’ Rumors

    UPDATE: It looks like another comment has been discovered by William Spencer on the discussions surrounding The Amazing Spider-Man 3. As shared previously, the Andrew Garfield stunt double seemingly hinted at something being in the works, but The Direct uncovered another comment that was tucked away, where he confirms he has no info on the rumored The Amazing Spider-Man 3 revival.

    As we stated in our article below, he reacted with a thank you to a previous congratulations on a revival, very likely spurred by the Forbes piece that seemed to hint at one being already in development.

    Ever since Spider-Man: No Way Home hit theaters, there’s been a lot to digest on the future of Spider-Man. Many were happy to see Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire‘s return to the iconic roles, but it also brought back a new love for The Amazing Spider-Man franchise. So much that it even became a trending topic and people wanted to see the revival of the third entry. Garfield is even a popular choice to face off against Venom, as many believe his Peter Parker exists in that specific universe while Tom Holland continues in the MCU. Well, a slip up by Garfield‘s stunt double may have confirmed that Sony is reviving The Amazing Spider-Man 3.

    In a new post, William Spencer shared that he is currently recovering from an Achilles injury. Many comments hinted at their interest in him returning to stunt double in the third entry with one user even congratulating on a project that isn’t officially announced. Well, it’s his reaction to the statement that has caught everyone’s attention, as he seemingly thanks him for the congratulations and may have confirmed that a project may be in some form of development or at least talks.

    The reason we run it as a rumor is due to a Forbes article adding some confusion to the mix. Sony originally wanted Garfield to face off against the Sinister Six, who were going to get their own film. And amidst the Venom rumors, an article titled “Andrew Garfield Likely Returning As Spider-Man to Fight Venom, Sinister Six” started adding more fuel to the fire that the project is happening. Yet, it seems that most of the piece is pure speculation on Sony wanting to capitalize on the success of No Way Home. So, this could be the basis of him believing a third entry is in development. So far, we only heard that the fourth entry of Hollands‘ run is in development, but there are still many rumors hinting at Garfield not being done with Spidey. So, we’ll take this with a grain of salt for now, but hope that Sony unveils its future plans in the near future.

  • ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Could Become Sony’s Most Profitable Release

    ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Could Become Sony’s Most Profitable Release

    Spider-Man: No Way Home‘s success at the box office is quite an exciting prospect. It built upon the nostalgia of the original two franchises that came before it, while also offering an emotional gut-punch of a story that is bound to have people clamoring for more. Well, it seems Sony is in the same seat as Deadline is reporting that its $1 billion global release has already gained around $242M net profit. That’s quite the success within just a few weeks, especially as the film continues to grow moving forward.

    It just passed that benchmark and tied with Avengers: Infinity War as the second-fastest to do so. Yet, there are some concerns that the Omicron surge could hamper its future development and take away the legs it would’ve had originally if it was released in a non-pandemic time. Unlike most releases, it’s still a steady release and there’s a good chance Sony will make $610M in profit from this single release. As the film is already on its way to pass Far From Home, which managed to nab $1.13B, the current predictions see it making around $1.75B worldwide.

    At this rate, it’s sure to beat out the previous entries, which is always a good sign for an ongoing franchise like Spider-Man and has also been quite competitive in the market, which most newer releases not holding a candle to it in its second weekend. Marvel Studios and Disney did renegotiate their terms for this third entry, which means they’ll get a slice of the pie as well. This also solidifies that their continued partnership might be in the best interest of everyone involved, which hopefully ensures a bright future as work is already underway for the fourth entry.

  • ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Swings to $1 Billion Worldwide

    ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Swings to $1 Billion Worldwide

    It has finally come, just as we discussed it yesterday, Spider-Man: No Way Home has officially joined the $1 billion club. With $467.3M domestically and $587.1M internationally, the film stands at a strong $1.05B over the Christmas weekend. While it did face a harsh drop, we’re in a very different situation given the effect the holidays have every year and it ties with Avengers: Infinity War for the spot of second-fastest to pass that milestone.

    This milestone is quite impressive, as it goes against all odds given the omicron variant on the horizon. It’s also the first film to manage this in around two years, which hasn’t been kind to many films’ success at the box office when compared to the usual releases. Its drop can also be attributed to the fact it faced not one, but three new releases this weekend. At this point it has doubled Shang-Chi‘s already fantastic $224M.

    Spider-Man wasn’t the only one to web up quite a bit this weekend, as Sing 2 managed to take the second spot at the domestic box office with $23.7M while The Matrix Resurrections landed in third with a mellow $14M. To be fair, the latter is also available on HBO Max, which may have become the main way of watching it for some audiences. Plus, the sequel to the 2016 animated film targeted parents with younger kids, who are the current audience group most uncertain about returning to theaters. Sadly, The King’s Man was struggling with a $10M opening, which only barely beat out American Underdog.

  • ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Webs Up the Title of Highest Grossing Film of 2021

    ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Webs Up the Title of Highest Grossing Film of 2021

    The fabled Holiday weekend has done its thing, as Spider-Man: No Way Home will pass $1 billion over the weekend. As such, it has now become the highest-grossing film of 2021. The title was held by The Battle of Lake Changjin, which was a strong Chinese release with $904 million. It earned an amazing $19.7M on Christmas Eve and stands at a strong $405.5M domestically. With that, it has passed Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle to become their highest-grossing film in the domestic market. As of now, the film has garnered $900M worldwide and will likely pass the mark either tonight over Christmas Day or the latest on Sunday.

    If the film passes the $1 billion over Christmas Day, it’ll tie with Avengers: Infinity War to reach that milestone. Avengers: Endgame still has that title with five days. It’ll be the first to pass the billion mark since Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker in December 2019. What makes this film stand out is that it’ll pass this benchmark without a Chinese release, as it’s only the fifth film to manage the benchmark, which includes The Dark Knight, Joker, PIrates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, and Alice in Wonderland. At this rate, it’ll inch closer to the releases like Frozen with $1.45B, or even Avengers: Infinity War with $2.048B. Developments in the new year will offer a clearer picture.

  • Matt Murdock is Back…and On a New Marvel T-Shirt

    Matt Murdock is Back…and On a New Marvel T-Shirt

    After almost a year’s worth of debate as to whether or not Charlie Cox would be back as Matt Murdock, the actor popped up, as reported, in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Murdock served as Peter Parker’s lawyer and, in a brief scene early in the movie, displayed his radar sense by deftly snagging a brick thrown through a window. When asked by Parker how he did it, Murdock simply said, “I’m a really good lawyer.”

    Marvel is now putting that humorous scene on display on three new t-shirts available on Amazon.

    Amazon has made available a classic t-shirt, a raglan baseball shirt and, a tank top version so you can have the guns out when the sun’s out. You can purchase the shirts by clicking on the appropriate link below:

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

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

    It looks like Sony and Marvel Studios have reached the limit to keeping all the secrets from Spider-Man: No Way Home. As it seems that concept art has found its way online featuring all three “Spider-Men” that appear in the film in their iconic costumes. It features Tom Holland front-and-center with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield joining in the fray. The designs are great and are definitely something for collectors that were excited to see all three together. Each design has a different tribute and even includes the “Spider-Men” name. The merch is shared by @BRMarvelNews.

    There are some great details in here, especially with one playing tribute to Doctor Strange’s magical circle. We even get the scaffolding from the film’s final battle between the Spider-Men and villains from across the multiverse. It’ll be interesting to see if Garfield and Maguire might get their own unique character posters, but neither did Reptile or Sandman. So, we’ll see if we get any additional material besides the tie-in merchandise. Here’s hoping they get a bit more attention to highlight their inclusion as the film continues to dominate the international box office.

  • Tom Holland on Working With Tobey Maguire, and Andrew Garfield’s on ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’

    Tom Holland on Working With Tobey Maguire, and Andrew Garfield’s on ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’

    It’s crazy to think that all the rumors circulating throughout the internet turned out to be true. Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire made their grand return as Peter Parker at the moment you would at least expect it. Of course, the current Spider-Man actor, Tom Holland, was quite excited to meet those that defined the shoes he stepped into back in Captain America: Civil War and shared some thoughts on their return. To kick it off, he talked about how excited Maguire was about returning to the role and once again putting on the suit, which started it all off.

    He was really excited to be back. You could tell it really meant a lot to him. Him putting the suit on again. Us getting back together. It was awesome.

    Tom Holland

    Of course, there was also his meeting with Andrew Garfield, who may have given the most heartfelt performance in the film. The actor originally played the character with potential hints at crossovers planned early on, but his trilogy was cut short and the project seemed like the perfect way to find some closure as highlighted by Holland.

    Andrew Garfield, the legend himself.  He’s such a lovely guy. I think this film was his way of making peace with Spider-Man It was such a privilege to work with him. I know that it meant a lot to him

    Tom Holland

    Zendaya also gave her thoughts on watching the three actors come together and the respect they had for carrying this very specific role. It also seems like they bonded quite a bit throughout production.

    It was so beautiful. [Tobey, Andrew, and Tom] care so deeply about the characters, and what their characters— what their journey had been as Spider-Man. It was so beautiful to see all of you guys connect on that and be able to talk to each other about such a special experience that very few people have been able to don the suit. It was great to see how much you guys all really cared and had each other’s back. It was really sweet.

    Zendaya

    We’re about to head into a new era for Holland‘s take on the character. So, it seemed like a surprisingly perfect time for the past to push him forward. It’s great to see what each actor brought to the project, especially Garfield making up

  • ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Already Passes $300M Domestically, May Pass $500M By Christmas

    ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Already Passes $300M Domestically, May Pass $500M By Christmas

    Spider-Man: No Way Home is dominating the box office even as there still remains some uncertainty surrounding the pandemic’s current development. As mentioned in the previous coverage, the film managed to already pass $600M. Well, it continued its momentum into its Monday showing with the third-best fourth-day release, as it garnered $37.1M right behind Black Panther‘s $40.2M and Star Wars: The Force Awakens $40.1M. It is currently following a similar trajectory to both films and is showcasing some promising development, as highlighted by @GiteshPandya overview.

    With its Tuesday release, the film has now managed to cross the $300M mark domestically by garnering $31.4M and has now passed $700M worldwide. It’s uncertain how far it’ll go at this point, but a billion box office seems like a certainty. At this rate, there’s a good chance that it may pass the mark by next week, as its trajectory is going towards a $500M by the end of its second weekend. Plus, as pointed out above, there’s the holiday weekend boost that’s on the horizon. So, we might be looking at a potential $1.5B run at least.

    The only real competition the film has is the latest Matrix entry and Sing 2, but they don’t fully share the same core audience. At this rate, it is also performing incredibly well overseas, as it’s going to pass F9 and No Time To Die‘s international grosses (including China) to become the biggest international success since Frozen II.

  • New ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Artwork Offers Closer Look at Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire’s Suits

    New ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Artwork Offers Closer Look at Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire’s Suits

    There have been many rumors surrounding Spider-Man: No Way Home. Now that the film has finally been released, we have some closure on the various multiversal guests that appear throughout the film. Luckily, Marvel updated their site and offered a closer look at the new villain’s designs. Luckily, they also offered some artwork on the two most iconic returning characters, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfields‘ take on Peter Parker.

    The interesting thing is that their characters are given names to make them easier to distinguish from each other. While Garfield‘s already has the “Amazing” moniker, Maguire‘s gets the added “Our friendly neighborhood hero swings into the MCU in his iconic suit,” which is a nice touch given he’s the first live-action version of the character.

    Tobey Maguire, Spider-Man

    Of course, you can’t forget Garfield‘s take on the character, whose design was a bit more streamlined when he donned the suit. Sadly, he never got the one he wore in The Amazing Spider-Man but the more recognizable version from the sequel. He comes with the tagline “The one and only Amazing Spider-Man webs his way into the MCU.”

    • Andrew Garfield, Spider-Man

    These namings do make you wonder what Tom Holland‘s Spider-Man goes by. He seems like the perfect choice to go by the Spectacular moniker. We don’t know if the next entry will follow the current title setting, but it would be good to move away from the “Home” tagline that has persisted so far. While No Way Home and Far From Home are surprisingly fitting subtitles, it does seem like their options are slowly running out to make it work.

  • New Spider-Man Suit Featured in Latest ‘No Way Home’ Teaser

    New Spider-Man Suit Featured in Latest ‘No Way Home’ Teaser

    It looks like spoilers are fair game, as the official Spider-Man: No Way Home account has shared the official first look at the new suit featured in the film’s ending sequence. After going through the multiversal madness, Peter creates a new suit on his own merits that pays tribute to the original design the character is famous for, as it focuses on the red-blue from the comics that many tend to call his “classic suit.” It is briefly showcased in the opening of the new trailer, which you can check out here:

    The design is probably one of the film’s best, which is filled with some great designs as Peter moves on from his Stark suit era. We don’t know if his eyes will move as they did before, but it would seem unlikely they’d move away from the expressiveness it provided to the character stuck behind a mask. We also don’t get a good look if he started creating any elements to add his arsenal in combat against thugs across New York City. We are moving into a new era for the MCU’s take on the character and perhaps we’ll get a bit more straightforward version, who mainly relies on his web-shooters and agility moving forward. It’s an exciting new era and with a fourth entry on the way, it’ll be exciting to see what the future has ready for Tom Holland’s Peter Parker.
