  • ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Turns in Senses-Shattering 24 Hour Pre-Sales

    ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Turns in Senses-Shattering 24 Hour Pre-Sales

    The most anticipated film of 2021 had a pretty intense first day of presales. According to Fandango, Spider-Man: No Way Home’s first 24 hours of presales eclipsed presales for Black Widow in just 2 hours and then went on to pass Avengers: Endgame, a film that had the largest domestic opening weekend on record. These numbers are quite impressive, as the last Avengers entry went on to premiere at $357.1M in its opening weekend.

    Reports suggest that the threequel sold over 3 million tickets on presale for more than $35M in sales. If those numbers are accurate, No Way Home will have sold 20 times the amount of tickets either Black Widow or Eternals sold within the same timespan. It managed to beat out Black Widow‘s numbers in just two hours. As such, there are already theories out there that this may be our first film to pass the billion mark since the pandemic started.

    It looks like Sony’s strategy has paid off, as they’ve been still keeping a lid on all leaked or rumored stories surrounding the threequel. What is noteworthy is that the nostalgia factor of the returning villains and the potential appearance of former Spider-Men might be quite the draw for audiences. It’ll be interesting to see how it keeps up that momentum once reviews hit the internet.

  • Deep Thoughts: One Hypothetical Timeline for the Second Spider-Man Trilogy

    Deep Thoughts: One Hypothetical Timeline for the Second Spider-Man Trilogy

    In just over 2 weeks, Marvel Studios and Sony’s Spider-Man trilogy will conclude in Spider-Man: No Way Home. By the time it’s all said and done, Tom Holland’s iteration of Spider-Man/Peter Parker will have appeared in 6 MCU films stretching all the way back to 2016’s Captain America: Civil War; however, thanks to Amy Pascal, we now know this isn’t the end of the road for Holland as the Web-Slinger’s time in the MCU as Sony and Marvel Studios have extended their deal to collaborate on the character’s solo films. With Pascal indicating the two studios will now be working on another trilogy, its seems like a good time to look ahead and think about when we might see those new solo Spidey films in theaters.

    Part of the original deal with Marvel Studios and Sony revolved around a solo Spidey film being in theaters every 2 years. This meant that Holland spent a whole lot of time in spandex from 2015 through 2020, but that’s the life of an actor! Sony is scheduled to kick of the 2023 superhero slate with Kraven the Hunter in January and Marvel Studios currently has The Marvels, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania spread out from February through late-July with an as yet unannounced film on the slate for November 3rd. That won’t be Spidey 4 because Sony picks those dates, but December of 2023 is currently unclaimed by Marvel Studios, Star Wars or DC. A December 2023 date would mean Spidey 4 wouldn’t need to start filming until late 2022, giving the studio plenty of time to get a script together (if they haven’t already started) and give Holland some time to do some other work as well.

    Spider-Man 5: Summer 2025

    Spider-Man: 10 Things You Didn't Know About Gwen Stacy & Peter Parker's Relationship (In The Comics)

    The first two MCU Spidey films hit theaters in July and 2025 provides the opportunity to do just that, assuming they keep the 2 year gap between films. Marvel Studios hasn’t announced any plans for 2025 as yet, but Lucasfilm currently has a Star Wars film on the books for December of 2025. So, back to summer it goes for Spidey 5.

    Spider-Man 6: Summer 2027

    The Death of Ultimate Spider-Man: Revealed - Mandatory

    It’s hard to fathom talking about a film that could take place in 2027, but here we are. Again, assuming a 2-year gap, we’re looking at Spidey 6 concluding the second trilogy in the Summer of 2027.

    Of course, at this point we don’t know much at all about how this will ACTUALLY play out. According to a trade report, the deal Pascal talked about isn’t even finalized yet and as we’ve seen in the past, there’s many a slip ‘twixt the cup and the lip when it comes to these things. However, it’s sure fun to think about.

  • New ‘Marvel’s Avengers’ War Table Offers Closer Look at Upcoming Raid, Spider-Man’s Abilities and New Skins

    New ‘Marvel’s Avengers’ War Table Offers Closer Look at Upcoming Raid, Spider-Man’s Abilities and New Skins

    Tomorrow is the day that we finally get Spider-Man joining the ongoing Marvel’s Avengers experience. He was one of the earliest teases ahead of the game’s release. While the game gave us various updates including both Hawkeyes and Black Panther, we’re so close to his release. To tie us over, we got a brand new War Table video that not only showed off his abilities in more detail but also a closer look at the game’s first raid “Discordand Sound.”

    The raid looks quite impressive with many new elements to add some unique challenges. Also, we get to fight the giant version of Klaue and I am quite excited to tackle this with a group of friends. Of course, it seems unlikely we’ll play as Spider-Man through the raid early on, as he needs to get leveled up accordingly but he’ll give us a good feeling for how the new gear system works.

    Generally, the gameplay is quite a step up from what we got from IGN. My favorite is still the wrecking ball, as it reminds me of some of his gaming history moves. The new suits were also teased with one seemingly inspired by Anti-Venom and another of his classic suit as armor. It’s another exciting update and I cannot wait to test out the new character alongside the most challenging piece of content yet.

  • 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.

  • BREAKING: Sony and Marvel Studios Have Officially Extended Their Spider-Man Deal

    BREAKING: Sony and Marvel Studios Have Officially Extended Their Spider-Man Deal

    It looks like Tom Holland may just be stuck playing Spider-Man until he’s 30 after all. In an interview with Fandango, Sony Pictures producer Amy Pascal revealed that Sony and Marvel Studios have plans to continue to work together on a new trilogy of Spider-Man films, saying “Marvel and Sony are going to keep going together as partners.“

    Tickets for Spider-Man: No Way Home went on sale last night and caused chaos. With press screenings for the film set for this week, the press cycle has officially kicked off and Pascal told Fandango that not only is No Way Home not the end of the road for the unprecedented deal, but that the two studios are planning another trilogy:

    This is not the last movie that we are going to make with Marvel – [this is not] the last Spider-Man movie. We are getting ready to make the next Spider-Man movie with Tom Holland and Marvel. We’re thinking of this as three films, and now we’re going to go onto the next three. This is not the last of our MCU movies.

    It’s unknown what further collaboration between the two studios will look like, but with Tom Hardy’s Venom crossing over into the MCU it’s possible that future could include Holland’s Spidey coming face-to-face with the symbiote.

    We’ll continue to cover this story as it develops.

  • 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.

    https://twitter.com/sonypicseiga/status/1463764443209207814?s=21

    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.
