Support NeoGAF

[Pachimari]

Can't we for once have a Spidey discussion without talking about it being Peter or Miles? It said in the initial announcement that it's gonna be Peter Parker. And the race talk, just do it in one of the other two threads.

I'm really happy about Rothman not getting any influence. That's new as we weren't sure about that, if Latino Review are to be believed.

 

[gutter_trash]

what sucks if its not Peter Parker is that it does away with the supporting cast that includes the interesting J.Jonah Jameson

why would that happen? JJJ hates Spider-Man and doesn't know its Peter.

I've got faith in Marvel.

You know how people are.

And honestly, I don't know why people want Disney to put itself in a corner so early on. Marvel Studios has movies planned out into the 2030s, if not farther. Any "Death of Spider-Man"/passing the torch stuff is decades down the line.

the best parts from Raimi's SM movies was Peter's interactions with JJ at the Bugle

If people missed it, J.K. Simmons (Whiplash, won Best Supporting Actor last Sunday) kinda wants to come back as JJ.

 

[LaNaranja]

Are we still getting a Sinister Six movie? If so would Marvel be helping with those too? It would be really great to see a team of villains planning a heist or some other crime in secret because the MCU is too dangerous for them to do stuff solo. Then troll the audience and have Ant-Man be the one who beats them in the end.

The official word is that they are going through with the Sinister Six and Venom movies but wiithout Marvel involved.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

How about making him half-Asian?

Perfect. Haha, I love these classic Spider-man edits. He always have me dying.

 

[Secret Fawful]

it really wouldn't. elfman is composing some music for Age of Ultron, marvel's already working with him

Yes, I see that. But this Spider-Man is a reboot, and generally reboots either have a new composer, or a composer who has tackled said character usually doesn't want to do it in a reboot because they don't want to be redundant with the new score.

Both of those might not be the case here, but I think in this case, it's not going to happen.

The Business of Spider-Man

http://www.latino-review.com/news/marvelous-da7e-84-the-business-of-spider-man

This is everything we already knew (in our hearts) to be true.

Marvel/Feige is in charge. Amy is a "Yes (wo)Man" that handles the money and the marketing. and Avi Arad got a consolation credit.
whats new is that Marvel insulated the movie from any outside Sony influence (thank gawd).

now hopefully they worked some fine print in the contract that gives them control of the IP somewhere down the line. like after X amount of $ are made, or X amount of movies are made or some sort of loophole they can later exploit if they need to.

So basically what we knew before. He'll be white, Marvel has most of the say, & Avi Arad is out. The only new info is that the new Sony head won't be involved (thank god).

 

[kirblar]

Know what would be dope? Having the Guardians bring Venom to earth accidentally in Avengers 3.

Would be glorious heh.

 

[jon bones]

Yes please.

End Phase 3 with that.

Have Phase 4's Spider-Man 2 include the Black Suit story, and culminate Phase 4 with full on symbiote crazyiness.

Phase 5 has an Agent Venom movie.

 

[AgentChris]

Yes please.

End Phase 3 with that.

Definitely see Oscorp and Spidey villains playing a huge part in Phase 4.

This would be too fucking awesome.

 

[J10]

Do you really want Marvel redoing shit we already saw in previous Spider-Man movies? There are like hundreds of Spider-Man stories they could choose from.

 

[Loke13]

I think a lot of people just want to see that 90's nostalgia on the big screen.

 

[Gambit 1138]

So when are we getting the announcement that this deal is cancelled due to "creative differences"?

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

When am I gonna see Spidey and Silver Sable team ups onscreen?

 

[Neoxon]

So when are we getting the announcement that this deal is cancelled due to "creative differences"?

If Sony fucks up, there's likely a clause in the contract stating that Marvel would get the rights in full. Sony's not gonna risk it.

Thunderbolts >>>> Suicide Squad

Keep your fingers crossed it happens eventually

[Neoxon]

So assuming LR is on the money like they were before with the Spider-Man scoops (except the whole "too late for Civil War" part which apparently was worked out), we know that...

- Like I said before, Marvel's driving Sony's car & Amy Pascal is riding shotgun
- Spidey will most likely remain white
- The new CEO has no involvement (good news if true)
- Spidey will most likely have a cameo in AoU (though it sounded like speculation in the article)

 

[Gambit 1138]

Avi Arad looks like Dieter Stark from The Lost world (aka the guy who plays every russian character ever)

Just make shit up to make yourself feel better. LOL

My point is that this is Feige we're talking about, he wouldn't willingly sign this deal if he didn't have a good deal of control over the whole thing. More so given Sony's track record.

 

[kirblar]

If it was done well previously, definitely should be left alone for a while. But Venom's not in that category.

 

[Dr.Acula]

I like Spider-Gwen. Dat hoodie.

 

[Father_Brain]

If Sony fucks up, there's likely a clause in the contract stating that Marvel would get the rights in full. Sony's not gonna risk it.

I agree that it's very unlikely Feige would have agreed to a deal that didn't guarantee Sony stays mostly hands-off, but let's not go crazy here.

 

[Patriots7]

Just make shit up to make yourself feel better. LOL

Indeed.

Sony's not going to risk losing their largest franchise.

 

[BLACKLAC]

Indeed.

Sony's not going to risk losing their largest franchise.

Funny thing is if Marvel kills it with the next Spider-man movie and the fans go crazy for it Sony may lose it anyway. I can imagine the massive shit storm Sony would be in if they tried to pull Spidey from Marvel in that scenario.

 

[mrjohill]

Yes please.

End Phase 3 with that.

Have Phase 4's Spider-Man 2 include the Black Suit story, and culminate Phase 4 with full on symbiote crazyiness.

Phase 5 has an Agent Venom movie.

I need an agent venom movie in my life
Agent venom is best venom

The white thing just seems like his own strong opinion.

 

[Mercury Fred]

How does that differ from Jeff Sneider?

 

[Jables Swan]

If Sony fucks up, there's likely a clause in the contract stating that Marvel would get the rights in full. Sony's not gonna risk it.

Was there anything we've seen that would suggest this?

 

[Bobby Roberts]

How does that differ from Jeff Sneider?

Sneider said it's because he's heard from people inside. Dave isn't saying that.

 

[E the Shaggy]

Avi Arad looks like Dieter Stark from The Lost world (aka the guy who plays every russian character ever)

I'd really like to know what Avi Arad's "job" is, like what does he do from day to day? Is it just answering questions about Spider-Man? Is it going to other producers and directors and executives and being like "No, Spider-Man wouldn't do this."

It seems like with a lot of these consultants and stuff for the Marvel movies could be just about anyone with rudimentary knowledge of the characters.

 

[pulga]

lol

business - how do it work?

 

[Neoxon]

lol

You act as if Marvel needed Spider-Man, they didn't. They made Guardians of the Galaxy into an A-list franchise, & are going to do the same for Black Panther, Captain Marvel, & the Inhumans. They could have gone on just fine without Spidey. Sony on the other hand got themselves into this situation in the first place. Like I said before, Feige wouldn't put the MCU at risk by letting Sony have most of the creative say over Spidey, since he could damage the MCU as a whole if they mess up.

 

[AgentChris]

Is Joss Whedon done with Avengers going forward? I know there is a lot of talk about the Russo brothers taking over -so could Whedon direct the solo Spider-Man?

 

[Pachimari]

Is Joss Whedon done with Avengers going forward? I know there is a lot of talk about the Russo brothers taking over -so could Whedon direct the solo Spider-Man?

He seems to want to create his own thing. I think he'll take a break from the MCU. And then come back to direct Captain Marvel.

 

[Neoxon]

Is Joss Whedon done with Avengers going forward? I know there is a lot of talk about the Russo brothers taking over -so could Whedon direct the solo Spider-Man?

Judging by his comments from a while back, sadly yes. He may still do the script for Infinity War or oversee Phase 3 like he did 2, but he won't direct Infinity War.

 

[Mercury Fred]

Sneider said it's because he's heard from people inside. Dave isn't saying that.

Ehn, it's a pretty flimsy difference.

Imo Sneider is trolling for attention and he got it.

 

[Ithil]

Is Joss Whedon done with Avengers going forward? I know there is a lot of talk about the Russo brothers taking over -so could Whedon direct the solo Spider-Man?

He'll probably be back to direct more movies, but after two straight Avengers films (basically the last five years of his life) he's looking to go create a new property of his own again and take a break.

Depending on how big that is, he might do one of the Phase 3 films or he might not return til Phase 4. I do hope he decides to write Infinity War, however.

I imagine he'll still consult, produce, etc, just not personally helm any of the films for a while.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Guardians bringing Venom would be cool. The presence of that whole cosmic side just makes it more legitimate tbh.

You mean the symbiote latching onto their ship, right?

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

You mean the symbiote latching onto their ship, right?

Anything really. Maybe whatever meteor they end up fighting Thanos on is home to the symbiote. Who knows. Just generally makes it more believable and linked. I'll just never get over Spiderman 2 introducing J. Jonah Jameson's son at great lengths, then having the thing land on an asteroid... what the hell.
