Sony Pictures Chief offers update on Spider-Man split
- Thread starter Scullibundo
- Start date
are you fuckin serious? after Far from home put spidey in the billion dollar club
come on sony
Spider-Verse had Green Goblin, Doc Ock, Scorpion, Prowler, Tombstone and Kingpin.
Well we are 5 months away from Sony launching their own Cinematic Universe and we'll have a trailer in the coming weeks, so we can see if they have indeed learned anything with regards to comic book films.
There are so many more interesting Valiant characters to launch the universe with imo. I'm not sure what Bloodshot will bring to the table.
TASM 2 netted Sony 70 million on a 790 million gross. That's a massive flop in the film industry.
That was the last information I read on the subject, yes. He was only signed for two films. He might come back for a third. He might not. Just have to wait and see.
Were I Disney, I'd hire him on a Marvel movie ASAP and include right of first refusal on a spiderman movie should they get him back.
It was supposed to launch with Harbinger but it's been reshuffled. The other films in development (Faith, Shadowman, Archer and Armstrong) don't seem to be better for general audiences, IMO. X-O would have been good.
Get him to direct a Jessica Drew SpiderWoman movie...which, iirc, Sony DOESN'T have the rights to.
Does Tobey still have a bad back? I remember that being a thing that messed with production back in the day.
You mean like the venom trailer below which has like 68m views and 800k likes to 31k dislikes and the movie made a ton of money?
They sadly do even though the character isn't directly tied to Spider-Man.
hes good when it comes to non superhero movies but when it comes to those he hates them
And they say that a hero could save usIt's time.
I'm not gonna stand here and waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiit
It was everybody who knew what they were talking about. So, vocal minority.
Sony, but for what it's worth, they supposedly had little influence on it because they didn't believe it would perform well. That left the writers have more creative freedom to take chances. Not sure how true that is but I've heard that in the box office threads multiple times.
Woody Harrelson is good casting yes, bad wig trash. I never realized wardrobe was a reflection on a quality of actor
I don't really understand wanting Tobey back at this point outside of nostalgia. Dude would be like 50 by the time that happened and they would be better off using him in a Spider-Girl movie or something.
You're comparing one movie to a whole list of stuff.
Lol. Goes to show how crazy Fiege's record is that his biggest mistake is making an aggressively average movie.
There's gonna be...CARNAGE
Like they realized the day Woody showed up they didn't have a fuckin script for their scene so they just told him to say anything and they had one take.
Say what you want, the proof is in the pudding. People loved it and went and saw the movie.
Morbius is no Venom. Venom was successful due to name recognition.
Yes, that hammy af performance we saw tells me he is totally gonna be the same actor in this film as he was in say, True Detective.
It's like saying because DeNiro was great in the past, 'Bad Grandpa' is also a great casting for him.

nah, this doesn't change shit. My view is the same as it's been since the news broke: while by no means a foregone conclusion, a Sony/Marvel compromise is more likely than not, and until/unless Sony makes more concrete steps towards starting production of a new Spider-Man solo film on its own (release date, director, casting, production start date, etc.), I'm not losing sleep over it
and like everyone else, I will be shocked if Morbius doesn't bomb

Mark Strong is great casting for Sinestro. Doesn't mean Green Lantern ain't fucking trash.
Affleck is great casting as Batman. BvS is nothing short of a fucking mess.
Woody hamming it up has its appeal but everything about Venom blows.
I never understood this line of reasoning. If the movie is visually appealing then it has a chance to make money. Like marvel made ant man a success? IMO aquaman was bad but that made money. Obviously I don't think morbius is going to make nearly as much as venom.
Morbius isn't even on that level. If Ant-Man is B-list, then Morbius is like E-list.
Take a breath and step back maybe, since when is casting Tom Hardy a bad decision? Some actors make the decisions they make and you can't change it. Did you know that when Samuel l Jackson was cast as the bad guy in Kingsman the director wanted the complete opposite of what he got? What do you do? Recast midway through filming? That rarely works out well. I don't know why people are getting so worked up when some nice things are said about non MCU Spidey movies. How about this
Spidey 1: has not aged very well
Spidey 2: amazing movie to this day
Spidey 3: trash
TASM 1: more faithful Parker, okay movie
TASM 2: trash
Spiderverse: best Spiderman movie. Anecdotal, but I personally know people who give no shits about superhero movies let alone Spidey crying by the end.
Sony can make good non MCU Spidey movies, and make bad ones. The whole concept of they "can't" is quite frankly ridiculous. It's like people forget when Disney almost went bankrupt, or the myriad of bad movies they've made themselves
My trepidation comes from the fact that most of Sony's output from the last decade has been garbage.
