Sounds like the announcement may have been premature though. Sony now saying they are still negotiating.
Dark Phoenix lost money. Sony will not make money on future Spider-Man films because a significant portion of MCU fans (the source of 90% of the revenue) will actively avoid it BECAUSE of this news (assuming they don't backpedal right now).
This is how the cautionary tale of "Don't kill the goose that lays the golden egg" plays out in reality.
I could watch anything with Keanu Reeves but another Matrix Movie, same with a 3rd 20 years too late sequel to Bill & Teds Adventure just seems like bad choices and flops in my opinion. I watched about 20 minutes of the Original Bill and Ted about a week ago as it was on TV and I forgot how funny it was especially the comments by Keanu to his co star about his hot (only 4 years older step mom) was pretty damn funny.
I read about the Kevin Feige pulling out of Spiderman films but the disagreement was not (Sony and Marvel) it was Sony and Disney from what I read.
Disney wanted a 50/50 split money on financing the film and Sony balked so Sony is to blame it appears.
It was a bad movie considering all the success Kevin Fiege has had with everything he does Marvel wise. Sony will be regretting that move
The issue is that there's a lot of MCU Stans and they basically made Holland's character arc at the end of FFH being that he'd be the next leader. That was the purpose of the movie ending along with him developing his Spider sense.
I get what you're saying, but the next movie with Holland's Spider Man is going to feel weird if it's not in line with that storyline.
If Sony puts Tom Holland and Tom Hardy in a movie together whether the movie is good or bad there is zero chance it loses money. Absolutely none. Thinking otherwise is not based in reality. Even if some MCU fans boycott it, and lets be real, most of the people crying about this on social media right now will be in the theater to see it, that's not going to stop it from making money.
Maybe I feel different about this than other MCU fans because frankly I don't even really like Spider-Man that much. The movies were fine, Tom Holland as the character is fine, his appearances in the Avengers movies, all fine, but the character just doesn't resonate with me so I could give a shit whether he's in the MCU or not.
I would agree the movie would make money. But Venom I would not even put closely as a comparison to Majority of Marvel movies from Kevin Feige.
The movie just seemed to lack something character wise and story but overall I enjoyed it. I like Tom Hardy in most of his movies.
I am not huge spiderman fan either, kids love him, he is my sons favorite character. I am not crazy about Tom Hollands portrayal. I still am partial to Tobey Mcguires version.
I think a Spiderman .vs Venom movie would be great so they need to figure the shit out. We have already seen 3 different actors play Spiderman in the last 15 years. Studios seemed to be in love with the Character as its being continuously pushed.
For me it's the continuity.
It's just going to be a weird pivot to not have him in the movies after spending the last movie branding him as the next Stark. And I mean the next Stark in terms of being a leader, not in terms of how good RDJ was at the role or the personality of the character.
Oh yeah, by no means do I think Venom or any future Spider Man (other than an animated Spider-Verse movie, as the first one was really good) from Sony is going to stand up to the MCU stuff, but I just take issue with this stuff online of people thinking it's going to bomb...it won't, especially if they can keep Holland in it, but even if they can't, it'll do 850M easy IMO. Gotta remember if this holds up, it's prob 2~ years out at least. The furor will die down. It's not like a new Spidey film is coming out in 6 months.
Totally agree with the continuity aspect. I'm surprised Disney wasn't willing to budge based on that alone. I do trust Feige though, they'll come up with something. It'll be jarring for a few films and then be normal, other than re-watches lol.
Disney announcing a few things for Disney+...
The World According to Jeff Goldblum - lol wat
live action Lady and the Tramp - my wife will like this
The Mandalorian - Star Wars series, poster looks pretty cool
Noelle - some Christmas movie with Anna Kendrick which means I'll watch it for sure. Also has Bill Hader and Billy Eichner.
