Spider-Man is Entering The Marvel Cinematic Universe
- Thread starter Colonel Nasty
- Start date
I can't believe I missed this last night. Best news since they rebooted after S-m3.
Bring Tobey back (unlikely I know)
if not then bring back JK Simmons
also Willem Dafoe
also Alfred Molina
and if you're getting Tobey might as well get Franco
Get Sam back
bam do all that youre ready for another GOAT spidey movie
but i dont expect them to do all that lol. I think Dave Franco would be a fun choice for Harry since his brother was Harry in the first trilogy.
Honestly though, it's about damn time. I'm soooo excited - the future is bright for the web slinger!! I'm so glad those pieces of shit ASM movies got cut short too. After that rapid decline in quality from Spiderman 2 -> then 3 -> ASM -> ASM2 - I couldnt handle another Sony helmed movie. Pretty funny how awful ASM2 becomes since 75% of the movie was setup, and it was already awful!
AHHHHH this is just the best news.

I'm not suggesting a 1:1 copy of the story (or lack of story) from maximum carnage
but a revamped event that other characters can be involved in which is very difficult with the majority of villains in spidey universe
well... it's just not as fun without eddie brock...

Yes and then we need Agent Venom for a Thunderbolts movie alongside Red Hulk, Iron Patriot (Osborne), Crossbones and some other characters thrown in!

A GOTG2 post-credits teaser with the gang accidentally releasing the Symbiote... damn.
just recast eddie brock..? he only disappears at the end of s-m3
Agreed. Plus, you all know whoever they cast is gonna be around for the next decade. We'll get to gradually SEE Peter become adult Spidey. Which is much better IMO.

Single-handedly caused Exxon-Mobil to sue FOX, start World War 3
Then let it be a lesson to you as you move on in the world. It doesn't matter how good you are at your job if your boss thinks you made him look bad in front of the other bosses. Not even the highest of high fliers are exempt from that basic rule.
That's fine... just please don't put us through a third origin movie, because we've seen enough of that shit. If they just have to show it, they need to limit it to like 5 minutes. I swear to Christ if we gotta watch the guy get bit and then geegaw at his own bare, childlike chest in the mirror for 10 minutes again, I'm gonna cut myself.
eddie brock died in spider-man 3... that's why i'm saying they can't make it canon lol
remember you see his skeleton in the explosion
It's going to get canned. They've already delayed it to an undetermined date. It's supposedly still in development, but the writing is on the wall.

The Raimi movies aren't being made canon. And not just because Eddie Brock is dead... lots and lots and lots of reasons.
Nah, because of this in Spider-man 2, Simmons will always be the GOAT.
Whoa whoa WHOA. Was this in the special features on the DVD or something? That's awesome!
i'm pretty sure you don't
symbiote explodes and then nothing is left when the fire clears
People are worried about the series of Spider-Man movies before the last series of Spider-Man movies being canon in a new series?
There's literally a zero percent chance of anything in any previous Spider-Man movie having any continuance into this. Marvel's not carrying baggage from another studio into their personal cinematic universe.

I first saw it on the extended edition.
Beat me to it.

It was part of the extended edition called Spider-man 2.1. It's on blu-ray and is the better cut of the film easily. First time I saw that scene with my family, it was so unexpected, we laughed our asses off.

I laughed so hard at this. It was like they told him: "Here's a Spider-Man costume, have fun."

It would be kinda nice if the could just plug Raimi Spiderman into the MCU and go from there.
while Eddie is most likely alive (his death is ambiguous for further appearance of Venom in the planned sequel) - he literally just disappears without a trace
they can't be made canon because a reboot already exists that tries its best to make all of those experiences not count
reading Alan Fine's opinion on TASM 2 really puts it in perspective
I wouldn't doubt for a second that someone with as much pull as RDJ would want Tobey back as well
not to mention how much marvel's current movie formula owes to the first two spider-man movies..
but alas it looks like it cannot be done.

Or they could ignore Spiderman 3 exists.......it's what I do.
But yeah I rather them start anew before holding on the previous film series' baggage.

Sinister 6 is most likely scrapped, which means that Goddard is available. Maybe Whedon can do the script while Goddard directs?

I loved how inconsistent the power level of the pumpkin bombs were in the Raimi movies. In one scene they leave Harry with a nasty burn on his face and in another they completely vaporize an alien and an entire person while destroying a bunch of steel pipes in the process.

They can still bring back Tobey Maguire and have it take place with Peter in high school. Just say that he got held back a couple of times.

The original cast wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. I mean they had one poor film and unlike X-Men there wasn't any real lasting damage done in Spider-Man 3 aside from venom being botched, when could be retconned in some way down the line by casting a new Brock.
Chemistry with established MCU characters and Toby seems like it would be terrible though

Given how he's prominently featured in all the current Marvel cartoons, I think it's a given. The real question is, are they going to depict The Daily Bugle as a News Channel like they have been or go classic with a Newspaper publisher?

Edgar Wright was listed as a potential director in a Sony leak.

Don't forget the first film where a bomb disintegrates an entire executive board but leaves a wheel chair intact.

Kinda sad that TASM reboot isn't even 5 years old and it's time for another reboot. Hopefully they get it right this fucking time.

People hoping for continuation of Raimi Spidey, it aint gonna happen. Sorry.
The only way I can see Marvel doing Spidey is as a kid who is/was in school during the attack on New York. There won't be some bullshit 'he was doing laundry' excuse. Spiderman isn't around yet in the MCU. I will of course eat the worlds biggest crow if I'm wrong. But na. Nope. New Spiderman. New story. New origin. Be excited. There is no looking back - only forward!

Maybe he's already written it! /Fanboy dreams
Eh, in S-M 1 this is how it looks when you die from a pumpkin bomb:
but in S-M 3 this is what's left of Venom:
My mistake about his skeleton being there, but I am 1000% positive they were going to bring him back with some "his body fused with the symbiote and rebuilt itself" bullshit. You could be right though since it's not like we see a pile of bones on the floor of the Oscorp committee. I just think it was clearly giving themselves an out for later installments lol.
Eh, in Spider-Man 1 it vaporizes innocents, but it leaves Harry with a scar I'm guessing because he's got Green Goblin formula in him making him a super soldier or whatever. Then it goes back to S-M1 strength against Venom lol.
edit: as much as I'd love a Wright directed Spider-Man, I really don't think he left Marvel on the best of terms lol

They can do a Lucas style re-edit just like they did with Phil Coulson in Avengers

You are correct. Avi Arad loves Venom and keenly understands the character is a license to print money. There was a lot of talk of a Venom spinoff even after Spider-Man 3 had come out.

They don't even need Eddie Brock to do Venom. Why would you have lame Brock Venom when you can have cannibal Gargan Venom or superspy Thompson Venom? My esteem for the character rose a lot when they kicked Brock out of the suit
