Yeah, but thankfully he'll get to costar with Jordan Catalano in the Morbius the Vampire movie instead

I feel as bad for Tom Holland right now as I possibly could for someone half my age who has more money than I'd make in three lifetimes.

He'll still get to be Spidey, he maybe just won't get to drop in on Shang-Chi or whoever? Frankly I wonder what his role would have been in these upcoming Marvel movies, other than shoehorned in somehow. Also, I wouldn't be shocked if Marvel & Sony end up making a new deal in a few years.

He presumably took the job in part so he could play in the cool toybox, not to cameo in like a Chameleon movie starring Jamie Kennedy or whatever dumb shit Sony pulls out of its ass.
― Amply Drizzled with Pure Luxury (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 20 August 2019 22:32 (four years ago) link
But he'll presumably still be starring in big, Sony-produced Spidey movies, am I missing something?
― Stub yr toe on the yacht rock (morrisp), Tuesday, 20 August 2019 22:33 (four years ago) link
the mcu was clearly setting up a huge, RDJ-like role for spidey/holland. this lack of deal probably hits him in the wallet.

I guess it would be interesting to see how Sony disentangles the MCU elements from future movies (if the deal is truly dead; Variety’s reporting makes the breakdown sound less definitive than Deadline does).
― Stub yr toe on the yacht rock (morrisp), Tuesday, 20 August 2019 22:57 (four years ago) link
When contacted by io9, a Sony representative said it’s their belief this dispute is simply over a producer credit and negotiations are ongoing. They further clarified that Feige has contributed to other Spider-centric movies that he did not receive a producer credit on. Other sources tell us the Deadline story is completely accurate.

Inevitable. Although less so is the deal to have Spidey straddle both the MCU and the Sony Crapverse. Nice bit o' extra walkin' around money for Holland.

Only for Spidey 3 and a single MCU movie, I'm guessing whatever grand plans Marvel had for him are still kinda derailed. Still, much better than nothing, at least the Home trilogy will get a completed ending.

Popcorn movies reinforce cultural values of the moment. Marvel is brilliant at encapsulating the Kardashification of wealth and power as virtue. You can hang out in the mansions with the toys with your good looking friends and still save the world.— Joseph Kahn (@JosephKahn) October 21, 2019

Why don’t Coppola and Scorsese come at their boys Spielberg and Lucas (ret.)? “Popcorn movies” have been around for a minute; I don’t get what inspired this round of, er, “commentary.”

Spielberg and Lucas' best efforts at 'popcorn' look like Bresson in this context

“Best efforts,” I guess... I’m much more of a Star Wars fan than an MCU fan, but 3 or 4 of the SW movies Lucas made seem no “better” than the best of the MCU.

Morbs, I have prepared a substantial bowl of popcorn and I await your defense of the Star Wars prequels.
― Larry Elleison (rogermexico.), Monday, 21 October 2019 14:34 (four years ago) link
Has Scorsese ever commented on Star Wars? I can't imagine him liking it that much.
Anyway, MCU seem way more defensive than Star Wars fans, for whatever reason (at least from what I can tell online, nobody I know in real life cares that people don't like their favorite movies).

i would argue the star wars prequels are more interesting than any marvel film i've seen but y'all know where i'm coming from here. marvel movies are way more anonymous

First Star Wars movie heavily indebted to Kirby's Fourth World comics, so it's just as much a comic book movie as Endgame
― Ward Fowler, Monday, 21 October 2019 15:44 (four years ago) link
The prequels kind of get an unfair rap in some ways; at least Lucas was trying to do new things. (Though I think Revenge of the Sith is a truly awful movie)

This is an important point to make right now, in the midst of a nearly year-long period when Marvel is releasing precisely zero movies. But you knew that, of course.Seven (7) Marvel films have been released in the 23 months since his last feature was only able to screen for a week despite packing a theatre, and he is an American having his thoughts while flying from a commercial gig in Buenos Aires to one in London. He has to make commercials because he cannot get funding for mid-level features, which have been squeezed out of the market. Would it have been okay for him to have frustrations about a massive monopoly reshaping his chosen industry three months ago, if it’s not okay now?

It's too bad that Francis Ford Coppola can't get funding because of superhero-films, when in a perfect world he wouldn't be able to get funding because he haven't made a good movie in 40 years.
