Mindy Kailing says she’s talked to marvel about that and they have Disney+ plans for her.
That chick from Blockers wants to play her.

where they cross-over and clap boards
I enjoyed the action scenes, but other than that I wasn't impressed. Both movies have been carried by the villain. Both outshined Holland and it wasn't close. The train scene was dope. Still think SM2 is the best spidey movie.

If ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ Doesn’t Make a Billion Dollars, Sony Breaks Free of the Marvel Studios Deal
Posted on Tuesday, July 9th, 2019 by Ben Pearson



The specifics of major Hollywood contracts are notoriously difficult to ascertain, and the occasional insights we do receive often come from actors revealing how many movies they have left in a particular franchise. But a new report has uncovered a Spider-Man contract stipulation which would allow Sony to wriggle out of its deal with Marvel Studios and once again give Spidey’s original studio home full autonomy over the character’s cinematic adventures. Good thing that won’t happen.

In a recent edition of journalist Richard Rushfield’s entertainment industry newsletter The Ankler, Rushfield peels back the secretive curtain of the deal that was signed between Sony and Marvel Studios back in 2015 to share the character. “The original Sony/Marvel/Spidey deal to co-produce these movies stipulated that if this Spidey cleared a billion, Marvel would get to oversee a third. If it hadn’t, full control would have reverted back to Sony,” he writes.

To be clear, Far From Home has not yet crossed the billion dollar mark at the worldwide box office, but the fact that it’s already made over $600 million in its first week is practically a guarantee that it will cross the coveted billion dollar threshold before it leaves theaters. So the Sony/Marvel Studios deal will still hold – at least for one more solo Spider-Man movie, because actor Tom Holland revealed back in 2016 that he was on board for three solo Spider-Man films and three appearances in other MCU movies. We’ve already seen him in Captain America: Civil War, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, and now Spider-Man: Far From Home.

Rushfield is a reliable industry insider who’s been reporting on Hollywood for years, and he sayshis source on this story is “someone very important and knowledgable.”

The initial press release announcing the dealsaid that “Sony Pictures will continue to finance, distribute, own and have final creative control of the Spider-Man films,” and I don’t want to completely downplay the involvement of longtime Spidey-producer Amy Pascal, but the quality of the projects in which Tom Holland‘s version of the wall-crawler have appeared so far indicates that Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios’ influence has been significant. Just look at the failed Amazing Spider-Man franchise for a reminder of what Sony would do with this character when left to its own devices. The fact that Marvel Studios will stick around to shepherd this character through at least one more film (and maybe even more, if a new deal is struck) lets us breathe a sigh of relief…for now.

The loss of Gwen Stacey is compounded by his loss of Uncle Ben. Peter had already loss so much and to lose the love of his life re-opens the wound that was left their by the loss of uncle Ben. It reinforces what it means to be Spider-Man and the cost of being him and the audience empathizes even more for him because we know how much he has already lost. Over the entire first movie we see peter pine for mj only to realize that to be Spider-Man he can’t have her so he leaves her. His experience with green goblin had taught him how dangerous a sustained relationship with him will be.

Does this peter learn that after his encounter with the vulture even after being told by him he would kill his entire family? Nope, not at all no growth from the first movie to the second movie at all. This protege surrogant son thing that they got during the civil war era of marvel was irritating in the books and it is more irritating in the movie.

Everything is a story beat, batman’s Parents death even if we don’t know his parents makes you empathize with him because watching an eight year old boy watch his parents get gun down in front of him is heart wrenching. We don’t need to know the eight year old or parents because we know no child should ever experience that. It is why Bruce and dikk stand out in the bay family.

Through Bruce and the longing for his parents do we form a relationship with them. When Bruce gets that letter from his dad in the comics and asks him not to be Batman you feel it because we know how much his dad meant to him. We don’t know thomas that well or the flying graysons but we know Bruce and dikk and when you see dikk standing in the circus ring looking up you feel it because you know what he loss.

No one liked Jason Todd that is why people voted for him to die. It is not the connection to Jason that causes the feelings it is bruce’s Reaction to it. Bruce finally opening up to dikk and saying he missed him and replaced him with Jason because of his lack of emotional availability because of the trauma of watching his parents death. Without put those moments you get nothing. Peter and Bruce without those traumas you don’t get those characters because it informs everything about them.

And let’s not forget the death of captain Stacey earlier where he asks him to be good to his daughter before he dies.

I don't think Batmans parents have any effect from an emotional standpoint,especially at this point. I think it just helps you understand why Batman is a loner,doesn't have emotion,doesn't want to get close to people. I think its pretty much the same with Uncle Ben,where we don't need to see it,isn't even important to Peters struggle when theres so many more angles you can take. But the fact is that if you are going to make Peter idolize,and then mourn over another man,and that is going to be a major focus of the films. Its a damn insult that Tony Stark is that man and gets ALL of that mourning,and idolization while Ben practically gets none:martin:

But I told you all what would happen with Spiderman coming over to the MCU,he would be Tonys sidebytch like everybody else. So you got your wish by not stamping that out when it was a problem in the first film.

And also I'm guessing the only reason they decided to reveal Peters identity is so they could do a quick Spiderman/Venom crossover and give Venom a reason to come after Peter without having to change suits or build up a story. Venom will just hate Peter because he killed Mysterio,or because he is jealous of the hate and attention Spidermans recieving.

Nah. They did it to mirror the beginning of the infinity saga with tony doing his reveal. Peter doesn’t have the choice that tony had. And, as jon watts and the writers said, they wanted to do something different but also put peter in a really bad spot because that’s Spider-Man. Any time something good is happening there’s the Parker luck to fukk with him.

Less to do with venom and more to do with fukking with the character and trying to find a way out of it.

How is it different to copy Iron Man,and make everything revolve around Iron man,seems par for the course. Sony definitely sees the money grab with a Venom Spiderman crossover,you really think Sony about to take it slow:mjlol:? The Venom franchise doesn't have the legs w/o Spiderman,and of course the actor playing him isn't likely to be interested in the franchise for much longer. They already ruined the origin of the Spiderman Venom fued so they needed to create a reason for Venom to hate Spiderman/Peter Parker. Jealousy and wanting to be popular after feeling like a "loser" seems like the perfect motivation for Venom to either take down Spiderman if he's supposed to be a vigilante now. Or for Venom symbiote to attach himself to Spiderman and get with somebody more powerful than the loser Eddie.

Sony isn’t the one making creative decisions on the movie tho. Kevin and the rest of Marvels producers make the creative choices. So setting up venom, a different property at a different studio, wouldn’t be in their minds.
