What happens to the current Spiderman franchise? And actors?
Another reboot?

[champ]

Aye, another reboot which is a shame as I really like Garfield as Spiderman... just the films that were the problem!

[McLovin]

ANOTHER Spidey reboot? Give it a rest ffs...

Well, yeah. But at least Spider-man is now back where he belongs. I'll gladly suffer through another reboot just for that.

[Aptorian]

Does this mean we're not getting the Sinister Six movie? I am more excited for that film than the rest of the avengers stuff.

[blackzoid]

2002 First actor
2012 Second actor
2017 third actor
2019 fourth actor maybe??

Thats taking the pi**. Garfield gets thrown under the bus to satisfy this deal.
Poor form.Just so that Spiderman can appear in a MCU film. Its like a devouring organism that "must" reclaim all of its lost properties. Why? I see no other Spiderman films in the Marvel lineup. Or Sinister 6 Films. Or teh Venom film. What happens to them? Thrown under the bus too? I appreciate diversity and ASM/ASM2 just felt different (and difference is good!) to the average MCU film which all feel the same to me in tone. (which to be fair, has to be the case for a shared universe and no, I'm not unhappy with the MCU tone). Now, well, I'm not happy. Something unique is gone.

At least Fox still have the Xmen.

Yeah, fuck those original copyright holders from wanting to recover their intellectual property from a company who would, are and will continue to churn out terribly written, acted and directed dross to retain the license. Also ha bloody ha if you think Marvel wouldn't do all the Spiderman stories in the world that they could.

[worry]

As someone whose ranking is basically Tobey 1 > Garfield 2 > Tobey 2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Tobey 3 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Garfield 1, I was thinking they were finally getting the hang of it back, but I'm not shocked. I don't know who these dopes are who were clamoring for Spidey to be in the Avengers movies in the first place. What's the point? It's like the C-grade trivia on the back of a Spider-Man cereal box (Did you know that Spider-Man is an off-and-on member of The Avengers?) came to life and forced its stupid way into the movies.

[Coco with marshmallows]

Is Garfield DEFINITELY gone though?

No chance he could swing it (see what i did there?) and get the part?

Well Marvel did sell the license to Sony. And I dont think Sony treated Spiderman too badly at all.
Spiderman 2 and ASM 1 are fantastic films IMHO. And Spiderman 1 is pretty good.

My worry is, that Marvel will not promote the lesser-known superhero properties that they do have as a result of this. For example say at some furture stage a "MCU-approved" Spiderman 2 is created at the expense of a Captain Marvel 2 or a Blank Panther 2. At leaast by spreading out the rights to other studios, more superhero properties can be filmed. There is only so much film superhero budget to go around for one studio, even at Marvel/Disney. Right?

The Sony Spider-Man spin-offs, for the moment, are still in the works. This includes Sinister Six, Venom and the female Spidey characters film that we've previously heard about. The Amazing Spider-Man 3 is obviously dead, and "while Marvel’s Feige is involved with Sony’s new Spider-Man films, he currently is not expected to be creatively involved with the spinoffs."

[blackzoid]

Ok, thats good news for sure

Just read this, was about to come post it too, but I see you've beaten me to it!

I'm SUPER excited for this! Spiderman is my fave of all the heroes, so it'll be fun to see him work with the Avengers et al! Wonder who's gonna be the new Spidey!

[amphibian]

Should be Miles Morales. But we'll see if they have the gumption to do that.

I figure that's the only way that they could do Spiderman and include another origin story otherwise they'll introduce him - probably in Captain America 3 - as Peter Parker and skip the whole origin story.

It'll be interesting to see if they also go ahead with the Sinister Six film and throw it into the MCU or whether that'll stay separate.

It would be great too if this was the ice breaker and we'll see Fox let up and let Wolverine out to play too ultimately leading to the mother of all cross overs, MCU vs X-men!

Huh, never heard about Ultimate Spidey version 2.0.

http://en.wikipedia....iles_Morales%29

I dislike the idea that Norman Osborne "just" made another spiderman. There's a lot of repercussions I would see coming from being able to replicate spidermans powers. But that's hand wavey comic book writing for you I guess.

Also, Spiderman being able to both make himself blend in with anything, clothes and everything, on top of having an overpowered projectile/transferring electrical shock ability seems like overkill. Being able to knock out a character like Giant Man with one shot seems ridiculous.

Every fight would just be sneak up unseen, sucker punch the bad guy, go home and bang the super model. Or what ever Morales gets up to in his free time.

Now if they made a character called Mantis Shrimp Man or Sneaky Octupus Guy, THEN we'd be in business.

Reason?

Miles is great, but I want Parker introduced first into the MCU.

These fan-made titles for the forthcoming DOCTOR STRANGE flick are nothing short of perfect!

The actual titles could do a lot worse than to hire this guy to make them.

Anyone see Ant-man? thoughts/reviews?

I'll probably wait to see it until it comes out on EPIX or HBO or whatever channel it hits. Just wondering if anyone saw it and what they thought, if it's worth seeing in the theatre after all?

Or if it was mentioned in a thread somewhere else I overlooked you can just toss me a link in that direction?
