Eh. I wouldn't be so hasty.
Silk is a trash character as conceived through Slott, but her current book is okay.
Especially if you compare that to how Peter is being written in his own book.

ok cool. I'll probably pick up spider gwen then, I think the colorist and maybe the writer are affiliated with my LCS so that's kind of cool.
I am a slott defender ;p
he has overstayed his welcome imo but I absolutely loved big time through superior, though there were a few bumps in the road along the way

Just read some stuff about Prowler... I hope Childish Gambino is playing him. Pls Marvel.
Wait, so is this MJ news like official anywhere besides The Wrap reporting on it? I'm going to find it hilarious if all this "outrage" is all for nothing and Zendaya is really just a girl named Michelle and there's no MJ or Gwen in this movie.
I also don't understand the production trying to keep this as some huge secret. That call sheet above says Michelle, of course there's no last name either, which is a bit weird.

(James) Gunn commented on it, so take that for what it's worth I guess. No idea if he's in the know but I assume he is kept up to speed
Would be odd if he's publicly defending the casting even though he knows it's not true

Ooooh boy, finally I get the Shocker in a movie! If his costume isn't perfect then I'm gunna be internet-mad.
Vulture.com says their own sources say that
the MJ reveal is meant to be a surprise revealed halfway through the film.
Leaving the door open for a stunt double?
Race-changes for villains are par the course at this point, plus Shocker isn't exactly well-known. I personally would have preferred Montana as Shocker, but I can get behind Marvel's decision.
Ah, I see. Still kinda weird they're trying to hide that. Am I gonna be shocked when she shows up to Peter's door for the homecoming dance and she has her hair dyed red and says her "face it Tiger" line? Nope, and it'll be awesome.

I don't think too many guys grew up fantasizing about Shocker.

Yeah I jumped ship. Last I checked there was talk of swapping Chadwick with Gosling for BP?

Real talk
Is Liz/MJ gonna be a thing like Liz/Gwen was in Spectacular, where Peter is caught in a kind of triangle?
I get the feeling they are taking a lot from Spectacular, after just starting to watch it lately.

True. I guess assumed the suit double would be #2

They definitely are. And that can only be a good thing.
I liked the whole cast in Spectacular so I hope they put a lot of focus on Pete's social circle.

No doubt... I do wonder how Ned & Betty fit into this love polygon thing though. I'm guessing the two of them are Peter's friends (replacing Gwen & Harry for now since they are fresh in people's minds from ASM2), while Flash, Liz, and the Untold Tales of Spider-Man gang (Sally Avril, Jason Ionello, Tiny McKeever,etc.) are the "cool crowd"

100% chance his desk is going to have a picture of either the Howling Commandos or a picture of him in military regalia just to connect it. That, or he'll use his grandpa as an example in some speech to Peter.

"Michelle? You don't look like a Michelle?"
"Oh, uh, it's because my actual name is...*pauses for dramatic effect* Mary-Jane."

Am I imagining things or was Shocker black in the Superior Foes comic?

The one on the second left, the black actress, is she Liz Allan and the main interest of Peter during this movie probably?
Also, I LOVE LOVE LOVE that Zendaya is MJ, even though it's not confirmed yet. I really hope she's Mary Jane. This film man, it feels so right. And finally I'm getting Vulture and Shocker. Just need Kraven, Mysterio, Scorpion, Chameleon and Spot for future films.
I suspected as much and if true then it's a shame a couple of people broke the NDA and leaked it. Imagine going into Iron Man 3 knowing the twist.

What if her name isnt actually Mary-Jane but Michelle-Jade

Yep. Done with that other thread. Consequentialism? What the fuck is even happening

The webbing shows up really nicely in the right lighting. Love it
Wish there was another ww2 captain America movie. Maybe one with a more grounded and serious tone akin to all the serious ww2 tv shows and movies out there.
I wanna see cap and the howling commandos weary and tired and just chilling out in a fox hole during down time during the cold winter with all their tattered uniforms drinking coffee.
Band of brothers x captain America please

Still calling him as Norman Osborn, with Abraham Attah playing Harry. If that casting call is right, it would imply that Abraham's role is secret just like Zendaya unless he just happens to be playing a character with his real name.

Not impossible, but I have a hard time seeing Donald Glover playing a guy who has a high school aged kid.

Glover as Norman and young Lando. That would pay well.

True, I thought he was a bit older. He would basically be the same age Andrew Garfield was in ASM2, lol

In the original film Norman says that Harry flunked out of every private school he sent him to. Though Harry's not normally a slacker as he was depicted in that movie.

Not unless Norman knocked somebody up when he was 14

Don't forget that Logan Marshall-Green was said to be playing "a villain," and Vulture, Tinkerer, and Shocker are all seemingly accounted for now and he isn't any of them.
My absolute shot in the dark is that Logan Marshall-Green is playing Norman Osborn who has a minor role in the film and set up as a future villain and Harry isn't present in the film at all. And Donald Glover is Eddie Brock, or someone. I have no idea.

Yoooooooo Glover as Brock would be amazing but kinda odd that he's not Peters age
Yeah, also James Franco probably wouldn't be on my casting List for Harry.
glover could pull off a freshman or softmore in college. just like spectacular spidey
