Spider-Man Officially Joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe

I could see sony eventually trying to build their own miniverse, maybe a Venom spin off.

At this point they have to realize it's best to let Marvel call the shots, but these studio heads can be arrogant and stupid.

 

Okay, I agree with that statement. Garfield had the wise cracks down, he was just too skater boy to be parker.

 

Spider-man and wolverine are the most popular marvel characters and Sony has kind of screwed the character for younger generation. Marvel can not afford to let that happen.

 

What I really wonder is were all those Sam Raimi Spiderman films and the New Amazing Spiderman films not officially part of the 'Marvel Cinematic Universe'??

 

No they weren't.

These new Spider-Man movies will crossover with all of the other Marvel movies.

 

Lmao They finally figured out Spidey does hang out with the Avengers a lot in the comics

Personally not that it really amazes or excites me so much

 

Marvel has always wanted him, but Sony has been holding him hostage. They finally worked something out.

 

Marvel Studios doesn't own the film rights to Spider-man, X-Men or Fantastic Four- other studios do. Marvel sold them in the 90's when they were about to go bankrupt. Marvel Studios DOES own the Avengers/Hulk/Cap/Iron Man film rights.

 

I believe the Hulk rights are murky. I think Marvel would have to have Universal distribute any Hulk stand alone even though Marvel has creative control of the Hulk and rights to have him in movies where he isn't the lead.

 

The most recent Hulk movie was Marvel Studio's first movie.

 

Second. Iron Man came out first and Tony Stark made a cameo in a post-credits scene of the Incredible Hulk.

Still. The Incredible Hulk WAS distributed by Universal while the others were distributed by Paramount before the Disney deal was done.

 

As far as a Hulk movie, a standalone Hulk movie, Marvel doesn’t really have the rights to that yet. That’s still Universal’s property, so there’s that issue. That’s a big impediment to moving forward with that. Now I don’t think that’s insurmountable, by the way, but I don’t know where it’s going from here for me.

I assume Marvel has the rights to make a movie, but would have to distribute through Universal based on the above quote. Marvel, outside Spider-Man, has not been playing well with others.

Tom Holland.

 

Beats Toby and Emo. I hope they don't screw it up this time. It took Batman 3 tries to get it right. Hopefully it's the same for Spider-man.

 

we'll see. I actually liked Toby and despite being a bit euro trashy, i did think Garfield did ok, to my surprise.

But I hope they do the reboot well.

 

I still don't understand why they couldn't have just gone with Garfield. Does Sony hold his hiring rights or something?

Without a Gwen Stacy or MJ to pine for, I think Garfield would do fine as Spidey, especially if all the screentime isn't dedicated to him.

 

Allegedly there was a meeting with Sony heads (in Japan?) for one reason or the other he didn't show up. They took offense to it, and thus no more SpiderGarfield. It's unfortunate because him and Emma were both awesome. The plots sucked, but he was actually a good spiderman other than being a tad too pretty for the job.

 

It's worth noting he was fired prior to Marvel acquiring the license. So ultimately he still might have gotten fired in favor of a complete reboot, which the Japanese execs reportedly wanted, after hearing the option was on the table through the Sony leaks.

 

Never heard of this guy. I was hoping they would cast Nicholas Hoult who played Beast in the X-Men first class movies and is also the main War Boy from Max Max Fury Road. He's shown he can do the uncertain nerd trying to come to terms with superpowers and tragedy.

 

I don't know about this. Ready to throw my hands up in the air.

Wish him the best and hope it works out.
