As Spider-Man Rumors Persist, Andrew Garfield Reveals a Downside to its Fame

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Andrew Garfield’s personal life can currently be described as events that occur when he’s not publicly denying rumors of involvement with Spider-Man: No Way Home. The actor, who broke big from relative obscurity with his two-film run in director Marc Webb’s abruptly-ended duo of The Amazing Spider-Man films, has been bombarded by questions—in some cases accusations—that he, along with preceding portrayer Tobey Maguire, will appear in Marvel’s multiverse-threaded threequel alongside current star Tom Holland. While he is undaunted in his denials, the actor is also reflecting on the path that playing Spidey has set for him. Garfield’s Spider-Man turn will…

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2: Is Venom a Villain or Playable Antihero?

New DVD release, , , , ,
As if the recent PlayStation showcase couldn’t have just shown us the Star Wars: KOTOR remake and God of War: Ragnarok trailer and called it a day, Sony had to go one step further and give us an early glimpse at Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 that ended with a brief look at what figures to be one of the game’s biggest new characters, Venom. Now, some are already suggesting that Venom is the one narrating that new trailer, but based on the accent and dialog, it seems more likely that’s actually an unseen Kraven the Hunter. Besides, there’s a voice change…

Marvel’s Avengers Roadmap Shows How Bad Spider-Man’s PlayStation Exclusivity Really Is

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The Marvel’s Avengers team has revealed the game’s upcoming content roadmap, and the relatively thin release schedule really goes to show just how dependent the game’s immediate future is on its controversial PlayStation exclusive Spider-Man DLC. The big stars of Marvel’s Avengers‘ upcoming content release schedule (which you can find below) are the game’s first raid and the long-awaited addition of Spider-Man to the online action game’s roster of playable Marvel heroes. Otherwise, it seems that the biggest things that Marvel’s Avengers fans have to look forward to until 2022 are some recycled events, a power level cap increase, “earnable…

Link Tank: The Mitchells vs. The Machines Director on the Film’s Spider-Verse Animation Tech

New DVD release, , , , ,
The director of The Mitchells vs. The Machines talks animation technology, the Spider-Man cameo the film almost had, and more. “To make Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Sony had to invent new types of animation technology. The result was a stunning, Oscar-winning film that blurred the line between cartoon and comic book. But at the same time, Sony was making another animated film that took the same tech from Spider-Verse and used it to do something very… weird.” Read more at Inverse. Shrek is a masterpiece that couldn’t have existed as it does if the stars hadn’t aligned. Let’s take a…

Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man: No Way Home Denial Game is Strong

New DVD release, , , ,
Spider-Man: No Way Home has kept crucial details about its plot opaquely secure under a proverbial mass of webbing, even as the threequel’s scheduled Dec. 17 premiere inches closer. However, the realm of rumors has seen plenty of activity on this front, with the reported return of Alfred Molina’s Doctor Octopus and Jamie Foxx’s Electro—each of whom are supervillains from the two previous franchises—signaling a Spider-Verse story that would presumably unite the heretofore unconnected existing Spidey films. However, a key component to such a notion, Andrew Garfield, is not budging in his denials. As one of the previous two big…

Disney+ Completes Marvel Streaming Infinity Gauntlet With Sony Spider-Man Deal

New DVD release, , , , , ,
And just like that, Disney has finally assembled its full Avengers team on Disney+ with the addition of Spider-Man… sort of. Disney announced Wednesday that it has cut a content licensing agreement with Sony Pictures, the steward of the cinematic version of Spider-Man (Tom Holland’s Peter Parker, Shameik Moore’s Miles Morales, and all other Spider-Men going back to Tobey Maguire), to host the “Post Pay 1 Window” of all of Sony’s theatrical releases from 2022 to 2026 on Disney streaming services (Disney+ and Hulu), and Disney linear entertainment networks like ABC, Freeform, and FX. The deal includes a special addendum…

Nancy Drew Season 2 Episode 8 Review: The Quest for the Spider Sapphire

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This Nancy Drew review contains spoilers. Nancy Drew Season 2 Episode 8 If any character on Nancy Drew was going to turn out to have a secret low-rent scammer husband it was always going to be Bess Marvin. Even though we’re well into the series’ second season, she’s still the character we know the least about – and that’s counting Ace, whose last name we still don’t even know. (And truly, if it isn’t Hardy, I don’t want to hear it.) Plus, there’s already existing canonical evidence that she’s not only a girl with a shady past, one she’s more…

The Spider-Man Game That Made Spider-Man 3: No Way Home Possible

New DVD release,
After a night of trolling by actors Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Jacob Batalon, Sony and Marvel Studios finally revealed the title of their third Spidey movie: Spider-Man: No Way Home. It’s an apt title for a film that will reportedly see heroes and villains from across the Spider-Verse collide once again, but this time, it’ll happen in live-action, which likely means the return of a few big-screen favorites. It’s been reported that the movie will not only include Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange, taking over from the late Tony Stark as Peter’s mentor, but also Jamie Foxx and Alfred Molina,…

Spider-Man 3: Tom Holland ‘Chomping At The Bit’ To Get Back to Work After Injury

New DVD release, , , ,
Tom Holland has the day off. The young British actor is currently shooting his third yet-to-be-officially titled Spider-Man movie when he quickly informs us during our chat that he has injured his knee while shooting a scene for the picture. Clearly it’s not the ideal start of his work week. “I’ve had the last two days off, and I’ve got tomorrow off as well,” he says casually. “I’m chomping at the bit to get back to work and back on set. But the film’s going really well.” Spider-Man 3 (as everyone’s calling it until we get a real title) is…

Morbius Delay Should Not Affect Spider-Man 3’s Spider-Verse Story

New DVD release, , , , ,
Sony Pictures’ Spider-Man side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been weaving a web of sequels and spinoff projects to increasingly intricate effect. Compounding that, the apparent plot connectivity of the untitled Spider-Man 3 and Marvel Studios’ subsequent sequel, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse, seems destined to shift the shared continuity on a dimensional level. Thus questions have been raised by Sony’s latest shift for the Jared Leto-starring spinoff, Morbius, which is now on schedule for January 2022. This places the vampire film one month after the Spider-Man threequel’s December 2021 release. The Morbius migration—the second such shift in just…

When Spider-Man Becomes Venom

New DVD release, ,
If being Venom was like being in the Beatles, then Peter Parker would be Pete Best. His stretch of time in the late-80s wearing his living, black costume is a staple of his history. Before it turned Eddie Brock into a box office giant, the symbiote made for a badass variant look for Spider-Man that still holds up to this day. It’s the ultimate story of how we can lose ourselves to power, even if a loved one beat you over the head with lessons about responsibility. Over the years, Spider-Man did rejoin with the symbiote a few times, usually…

Does Marvel’s New Spider-Man Costume Point to a Black Widow Villain Connection?

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Ah, the new superhero costume reveal. That thing where the comic companies muck with some of their most iconic visuals to get a rise out of the fans, get eyes on their product, hopefully tell some kind of story with it, then go back to the status quo. Just now I’m getting memories of Norm MacDonald on Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update, breaking from the script to openly complain about Electric Blue Superman. While most of the time, these new looks get rather negative reactions, they at least happen for a reason. When Batman was redesigned in the ’90s to…

Link Tank: Every Spider-Man Animated Movie and Series, Ranked

New DVD release, , , , ,
Spidey has one of the best animated movie and tv show catalogue of any superhero ever. Here’s every Spider-Man cartoon, ranked. “Spider-Man’s rich history transcends comic books—as one of the most popular superheroes of all time, he has swung out of the pages of his Marvel adventures into films, games, and television—and even there, transcended the barriers of live-action and animated formats. The latter of which has perhaps provided some of the webhead’s finest stories.” Read more at Gizmodo. This year marks the 20th anniversary of How the Grinch Stole Christmas starring Jim Carrey.

Jon Watts Directing Marvel’s Fantastic Four Movie Could Mean a Spider-Man Appearance

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Now that Marvel Studios has officially confirmed that a new Fantastic Four movie is in development — which will mark the proper introduction of Marvel’s First Family into its Cinematic Universe — here’s where we start speculating about whether Spider-Man might end up crawling up the walls of the famous Baxter Building. After all, Marvel head honcho Kevin Feige revealed at Disney’s bursting-at-the-seams-with-news investor’s conference on Thursday (December 10) that Jon Watts will direct the Fantastic Four movie. Yes, the same Jon Watts who helmed Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man: Far from Home for Sony and Marvel, and who is currently…

Spider-Man 3: Charlie Cox Daredevil Return Would Redeem the Marvel Netflix Universe

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , , ,
Casting news for Spider-Man 3, has been surreal and chaotic—in the best possible way. Now, in the aftermath of reports that villains from previous franchise iterations like Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock and Jamie Foxx’s Electro will return (in a manner not yet known), a strong rumor is now pointing to the addition of a displaced Marvel hero, Charlie Cox’s Daredevil; a move that, if true, would mark the first big screen acknowledgement of Marvel’s nixed Netflix television corner. The ever-growing rumor (recently boosted by trade TV Line,) implies that Cox’s Matt Murdock, a.k.a. Daredevil, will go from small-screen cancelation by…

Spider-Man 3: Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock Return is a Smart Move for Franchise

New DVD release, , , , ,
Way back in 2004, many speculated Alfred Molina’s Doctor Octopus would return after Spider-Man 2, even though he ended that movie by vanishing beneath the Hudson River. This of course seemed like wishful thinking at the time: Molina might’ve been the best Spider-Man movie villain up to that point, but Sony couldn’t bring him back after he took a nuclear-heated bath, right? Nearly 15 years and two reboots later, it turns out they could! Indeed, THR confirmed Tuesday that Molina will return  as the metal-armed scientist in the Tom Holland-led, and Marvel Studios produced sequel to Spider-Man: Far From Home.…

Is Spider-Man 3 a Spider-Verse Sinister Six Movie?

New DVD release, , ,
With filming underway right now on Sony and Marvel’s third MCU Spider-Man movie, casting news was due to start breaking any time, and today brought a doozy: Alfred Molina, whose Doctor Octopus in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2 is widely regarded as the best Spidey villain ever put on film, is returning for the yet-untitled MCU Spider-Man 3. As Molina’s return comes on the heels of the announcement that Jamie Foxx is returning as Electro from The Amazing Spider-Man 2, there has been a substantial increase in speculation as to what the still-untitled Spider-Man 3 is doing. The answer, it seems,…

Japanese Spider-Man Documentary Spotlights Fun, Weirdness, and Spectacular Stunts

New DVD release, , , , , ,
You’ve certainly heard about the Japanese Spider-Man TV series from the 1970s. Maybe you’ve seen clips here and there on YouTube, or reaction gifs have made their way into your social media timeline. Perhaps you’ve even seen an episode or two, via a convention-purchased bootleg set during a hazy evening at a friend’s place or during the brief period a few years ago when they were officially available to stream on Marvel.com. Whatever the case, the Japanese Spider-Man TV show is designed to elicit strong reactions from western viewers, particularly comic book purists, who might balk at how it completely…

Spider-Man Miles Morales: Simon Krieger’s Fate, Origin, and Voice Actor Explained

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales article contains spoilers. Spider-Man has always benefited from one of the best rogues’ galleries in comics, but the recently released Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales features a villain whom some franchise fans may not immediately recognize: a businessman named Simon Krieger. While it probably won’t come as much as a surprise that Miles Morales focuses on a new villain given that it’s a spin-off of the Marvel’s Spider-Man story, it turns out that Krieger isn’t actually an entirely new face in the Marvel universe. The game’s ending also strongly suggests that this won’t be the last…
