Watch: Spider-Man In Captain America: Civil War International Spot

Similar to the Hasbro commercial, it’s not much, but we’ll take anything Spider-Man we can get right now.

A new Japanese international Captain America: Civil War spot shows just a second of Spider-Man on the tarmac siding with Team Iron Man.

Watch the spot above. Here’s a screen grab:

“Captain America: Civil War” has  a May 6, 2016 release date directed by Anthony and Joe Russo starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Frank Grillo, Paul Bettany, Don Cheadle, Emily VanCamp, William Hurt, Martin Freeman and Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther.

Synopsis:

Captain America: Civil War picks up where Avengers: Age of Ultron left off, as Steve Rogers leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain.

Spider-Man Will Be More Fun To Discover In Captain America: Civil War

We’ve only seen a glimpse of Spider-Man in the Captain America: Civil War trailer (watch below). Honestly, hopefully that is all Marvel reveals as even director Joe Russo admits the best is yet to come.

“He’s certainly a character that’s more fun for people to discover when they go see the movie,” Joe Russo told Total Film Magazine. “He was my favorite character growing up. I have an incredible amount of passion for Spider-Man.”

Russo also comments on the Spider-Man costume, but it’s a mystery whether or not this is the version Tony Stark may have made and given to Peter, and offers the following on casting 19-year-old Tom Holland.

“It was very important for us to execute an interpretation of the character that was loyal to how I felt about him as an 11-year-old,” Russo offered. “So we were very dedicated to casting an actor very close in age to the age of the character. And also, an actor with that youthful spirit and insecurity that comes with being that age and having that kind of power.”

Following Captain America: Civil War, Tom Holland will be featured in the standalone Spider-Man movie in 2017. Kevin Feige recently confirmed other Marvel characters will cross over.

Avengers Confirmed For Tom Holland Spider-Man Movie

With Spider-Man set to debut in Captain America: Civil War, it’s also learned Marvel Studios characters will cross over into the standalone Spidey movie in 2017.

Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige confirmed the news to EW.com.

“He is in the universe now, and the fun of the universe is that characters go back and forth,” Feige said.

It’s unknown which Marvel characters will be appearing in the standalone Spider-Man movie, but Joe Russo offered a bit of a tease, with the article noting it’s probably a joke.

“Let’s just say … Great Lakes Avengers,” said Joe Russo.

With Marvel characters appearing in the Spider-Man movie, it’s probably a good bet that Spider-Man will be appearing in the Avengers: Infinity War movies, which are directed by the Russo Brothers as well.

Tom Holland is playing Spider-Man and debuts in Captain America: Civil War next month followed by the Spider-Man reboot that has a July 7, 2017 release date directed by Jon Watts.

Watch: First Captain America: Civil War Spider-Man Merchandise Promo

It might not be much, but it’s our first Spider-Man merchandise promotion for Captain America: Civil War.

We’ve seen tons of Captain America: Civil War promo images and products, but nothing for Spider-Man, aside from a rumored hoodie.

It’s possible all(?) the Captain America: Civil War Spider-Man merchandise might be embargoed until a later date closer to the release of the movie.

The good news is that Hasbro released a Captain America: Civil War commercial featuring Spider-Man merchandise along with Iron Man and Captain America. It’s an updated version of the “Captain America: Civil War Hero Gear” commercial from early March, but now with Spider-Man added in.

Check it out below.

“Captain America: Civil War” has  a May 6, 2016 release date directed by Anthony and Joe Russo starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Frank Grillo, Paul Bettany, Don Cheadle, Emily VanCamp, William Hurt, Martin Freeman and Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther.

More Possible Tom Holland Spider-Man Movie Titles Surface

Yesterday saw the news hit that a possible title for the new Tom Holland Spider-Man reboot might be “Spider-Man Homecoming” due to the fact Sony registered the web site domain.

Now it’s learned (via AICN) Sony has registered more domains which may potentially be titles for the Spider-Man movie: SpiderManComingOfAgeMovie.com, SpiderManGreatnessAwaitsMovie.com and SpiderManSuspendedMovie.com.

Obviously these could be associated with the reboot or something all together different (animated movies, Apps, etc).

I wouldn’t be surprised if Sony and Marvel went a more classic route for the Spider-Man reboot such as “Web of Spider-Man” or “Spectacular Spider-Man.”

“Spider-Man: New Avenger” also has a nice ring.

The Spider-Man reboot has a July 7, 2017 release directed by Jon Watts. Tom Holland will first appear in Captain America: Civil War next month.

Tom Holland Spider-Man Reboot Title Possibly Revealed

 
High-Res Spider-Man Image
 

The title of the Tom Holland Spider-Man reboot may have become known.

Spider-Man Homecoming.

The BBC of all places spotted the fact that Sony recently registered the web site domain SpiderManHomecomingTheMovie.com, which presently just redirects to the main Sony site.

What’s interesting about the Spider-Man Homecoming title is that it references an issue of Amazing Spider-Man that features the Avengers. Obviously it also references Spider-Man coming back home to Marvel.

The issue, Amazing Spider-Man #252, features Captain America, Iron Man, Hawkeye, Thor, Wasp and Captain Marvel, as well as the black Spider-Man costume. It’s the issue that followed Marvel’s first Secret Wars event.

The Spider-Man reboot has a July 7, 2017 release directed by Jon Watts. Tom Holland will first appear in Captain America: Civil War next month.

Update: Sony registered more Spider-Man domain names.

Tom Holland Fought For Spider-Man Says Jon Bernthal; Talks Marvel Auditions

Jon Bernthal and Tom Holland worked together to nail their Marvel auditions of Punisher and Spider-Man, respectively.

Bernthal went on to star in Season 2 of Daredevil (with a Punisher Netflix series rumored), and of course Tom Holland will first appear as Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War followed by the 2017 standalone Spidey movie.

While speaking with Complex.com, Jon Bernthal offered an inside look at their audition process offering Tom Holland really fought to play the role of Spider-Man and more:

I worked with Tom intensely in Ireland on the movie that we did; a group of us were all living in a remote part of Western Ireland, eating every meal together, on set all day with each other. And I got to tell you, in all my years in Hollywood, I’m probably more impressed with Tom Holland than anyone else I’ve ever met. For a guy his age, he’s a force of nature. I saw him go through the process of trying to win that role. He fought for it. He just went out and got it. That’s not an easy feat.

A couple of weeks ago also saw Bernthal offer the following to the NY Daily News:

“We were making tapes from Ireland in the process of getting him cast in Spider-Manand then he and I made a tape for The Punisher. During this independent movie that we did in Ireland we were constantly making tapes for Marvel – just acting together. These tapes definitely do exist, you can call Marvel and ask for it, but that’s like breaking into Fort Knox.”

“I called the guys at Marvel when they were casting (Spider-Man) and I heard he was in the final handful of guys and said, ‘Look for what it’s worth you’re not going to meet a harder working more appreciative kind of guy. I was so blown away by his sort of attitude and work ethic and how good he was.’ But then I said to Tom, ‘I’ve told them that, so don’t prove me wrong.'”

 

Had an amazing time hanging with this guy. Much love brother. #pilgrimage #brothers.

James Gunn Says Spider-Man Is More Than Awesome In Captain America: Civil War

Check out James Gunn below from the set of Guardians of the Galaxy 2 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Gunn mentions he just shot a scene involving Chris Pratt and Kurt Russell in their costumes, but could say no more.

As they are getting ready to shoot another scene, which will take about twenty minutes to set up, Gunn took the time to talk to fans on Facebook.

Some highlights:

Everybody is asking Gunn for his opinion on Batman Vs. Superman, but he hasn’t seen it, yet.

Gunn says he doesn’t want to direct Star Wars.

A lot of fans thought Gunn was showing off the Guardians of the Galaxy 2 trailer, but he’s not.

There is no Star-Lady.

They’ve been shooting for twenty days.

Gunn has no interest in being president of the United States.

Gunn said he watched the first two episode of Daredevil Season 2? and heard it gets better. Gunn says he liked the first season a lot.

Hasn’t been able to keep up with The Walking Dead.

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is supposed to wrap filming in June.

Gunn says he has lots of songs he wants on Guardians of the Galaxy Awesome Mix Vol. 2, but obviously can’t use them all. He can’t share them all, that’s the difficult part.

Gunn says Civil War is awesome.

Gunn says he has quit addressing rumors (won’t comment on potential actors in GOTG 2).

Gunn says he’s Team Iron Man.

Really liked the movie Ex Machina.

First Marvel comic Gunn remembers reading is an issue of Thor.

Drax would probably not like being told to register for something.

Thanos has zero role in Guardians of the Galaxy 2.

The story is about the Guardians.

Liked 10 Cloverfield a lot.

Not sure what he is going to do following Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Marvel has asked him to continue on, but Gunn says he is not sure, yet.

Kurt Russell has been a delight to work with, is having so much fun and really committed to the role he is playing.

They’re blessed to have such a good group of people to work with.

Spider-Man is more than awesome in Civil War, he’s incredible.

No interest in directing the Spawn reboot.

Pom Klementieff fits the role of Mantis so perfectly it’s shocking.

Odds of Rom Spaceknight? Zero. Story is owned by Marvel (Spaceknights). Hasbro owns the character. Gunn would be intersted if it was possible.

Rocket and Groot are his favorites.

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 has a May 5, 2017 release

Zendaya Cast In Tom Holland Spider-Man Movie

Following Tom Holland, it’s confirmed Zendaya has been cast in the upcoming untitled Spider-Man reboot.

Update: It’s reported Zendaya is playing a character named Michelle.

The 19-year-old actress known for her Disney shows confirmed the news while appearing on Ellen.

“I can’t say anything else other than I’m going to be in it. I have no idea [when filming begins]. I don’t even know that to be completely honest. It’s very exciting. When it comes to the acting space, I’m basically unknown. I’ve never been in a real movie before or anything like that, so I had to start from the bottom like anyone else and audition and audition and  audition and break down those walls because a lot of people do have that pre-conceived notion of who I am based off previous things I’ve done, so you got to really break that down and go hard, put in the work, take all the meetings, take all the auditions. You know, start from the beginning.”

Watch the video with Zendaya below.

Tom Holland & Mom Tease Peter Parker Spider-Man “Underoos” Image

 
High-Res Spider-Man Image
 

It looks as if we have our first unofficial(?) look at Tom Holland as Peter Parker.

Tom Holland’s iMDB page has recently been updated with a photograph where the Spider-Man costume can be seen underneath Holland’s clothing.

The image is taken by Tom’s official photographer, his mother, Nikki Holland.

More than likely this is just the two having some fun with the “underoos” concept from the trailer, but it’s still pretty cool nonetheless and gives us another look at “Spidey.”

Russo Brothers Tease Spider-Man(?) Surprise

 
Click For High-Res Spider-Man Image
 

Anthony and Joe Russo have recently launched their Facebook page.

A couple days ago saw the pair reveal a look at a new Captain America: Civil War scene, and now they tease something for later today.

“We’ll be live with a little friend of ours tomorrow at 2:30pm PST,” the Russo’s posted last night on Facebook (meaning 5:30pm ET Friday, March 18th).

It’s our guess the “little friend” may be new Spider-Man Tom Holland, as it’s also our guess Marvel will be using Spider-Man to further promote Captain America: Civil War.

The Russo’s did just talk in length about Spider-Man and mentioned that the kinks are now out of the Sony and Marvel deal, and that actually they would have liked to use Spider-Man previous to the reveal in the trailer.

Here’s the blurb:

Also I think it was a little bit of a correction because it was a very complicated deal that Sony had to work out with Marvel Studios and Disney in order to make that work. We were very quiet about Spider-Man’s involvement in the movie for much longer than we would have been. We were artificially silent on the character because it was such a sensitive business deal still being worked out even while we were shooting. We went through a very thorough casting process, we tested Tom Holland vigorously with Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr,, we screen tested him along with several other actors, it was a very intense part of making Captain America: Civil War because he was an important part of the movie to us. Finally it’s all secure and we’re at a place where we can present him even in just a small taste. 

If we’re wrong about Spider-Man, our next guess is Ant-Man?

Update: One of our guesses was close. Watch the video:

Russo Brothers Talk Avengers: Infinity War Characters & Spider-Man

We just heard from Joe and Anthony Russo in regards to Spider-Man in the Captain America: Civil, now check out what the directors have to say about The Avengers: Infinity War. Speaking with Forbes, the Russo’s menton Thanos, new characters and Spider-Man.

On whether Disney/Marvel requires certain characters for Avengers: Infinity War:

JR: Maybe there’s a character requirement but with things like Avengers: Infinity War that’s obvious because it’s a culmination of all the films in the phase that have preceded it. You know that Thanos is going to be in there and the majority of the Marvel Universe is going to appear in the movies. Those are givens, but after that we can construct any narrative we want around it and what we think is the best execution of the story.

On new characters appearing in Avengers: Infinity War:

AR: There are certain characters that you don’t know.

JR: New characters that are going to appear in Avengers: Infinity War. It’s a big sprawling ambitious movie, it’s about as ambitious as movies get and it should be, and the title alone indicates that there will be an incredible scape and scope to it.

On where they are at in regards to Avengers: Infinity War:

AR: It is intended to be the entire culmination of the Marvel cinematic universe and, in many ways, the end to that part of it. But we don’t even have the first draft in on that script yet; we’re still in the outline phase. It’s hard not to talk about it too specifically now only because of spoilers but also because we’re still figuring it out.

AR: We have an idea but let’s see if that evolves over the next couple of months.

Will Spider-Man appear in Avengers: Infinity War:

JR: To be determined. We’ll see.

“The Avengers: Infinity War – Part 1” has a May 4, 2018 release, with Part 2 on May 3, 2019.

Russo Brothers Talk Spider-Man In Captain America: Civil War & Costume

 
High-Res Spider-Man Image

Sony and Marvel recently debuted a peek at the new Tom Holland Spider-Man in the Captain America: Civil War trailer (watch below), Forbes caught up with directors Joe and Anthony Russo to get their take on fan feedback ranging from including Spider-Man into the movie as well as the trailer and reactions to the new costume.

On Spider-Man being included in the Captain America: Civil War trailer:

JR: We always intended to. He was my favorite character growing up, I still have my collection of comics in my closet so it was a dream come true for us to be able to have Spidey in the movie and interpret him as a character so we couldn’t be more excited and we wanted to share that with everybody else.

AR: Also I think it was a little bit of a correction because it was a very complicated deal that Sony had to work out with Marvel Studios and Disney in order to make that work. We were very quiet about Spider-Man’s involvement in the movie for much longer than we would have been. We were artificially silent on the character because it was such a sensitive business deal still being worked out even while we were shooting. We went through a very thorough casting process, we tested Tom Holland vigorously with Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr,, we screen tested him along with several other actors, it was a very intense part of making Captain America: Civil War because he was an important part of the movie to us. Finally it’s all secure and we’re at a place where we can present him even in just a small taste.

JR: We thought it was a great way to reveal him. I think people are going to be happy with him in the movie, he’s got a very interesting role in it. I think they’ll be happy.

On Spider-Man being a part of Captain America: Civil War:

AR: I’ll say this, part of the fun of Spider-Man is that this film is basically a war amongst the Avengers and Spidey does not have the baggage that all these other characters have. He enters the story after the conflict that is happening between the Avengers and that gives him a very unique place in the story.

On Spider-Man’s costume:

JR: The design of the costume is what it is. That’s the design that we love, it’s the design that Kevin Feige loves and so on. He’s a very popular character so it’s always going to be controversial, people are always going to love or hate what you do with him, but all we can do is make sure that we love it, that we are true to ourselves and true to how we feel about the character and then hope that everybody else digs it.

AR: Part of issue is that we gave such a small impression of the character in that trailer, it’s something of a Rorschach test where people can pour as much of their Spidey anxieties out but when they see the movie they are going to get a very big picture of a very complete character that they have never seen before. It’s kind of hard to react to people’s reactions but they will change radically when they see the movie.

JR: And there is still effects work that needs to be done on it.

We like making strong choices with characters so while this might be a slightly more traditional, Steve Ditko influenced suit, it is certainly in our vocabulary to develop it into something more extreme as the storytelling requires. I think there are things that people will discover when they see the film about why the suit operate the way it does, why the eyes move, all that stuff is substantiated. Everybody wants the answers yesterday but then what would be the point of seeing the movie? 

On the possibility of too many versions of Spider-Man in recent years:

JR: There are pros and cons without question; there is the fatigue factor that comes with it. I’m a skeptical fan and I would look at the multiple version and I would even go, ‘Guys, give me a break. Let me wash my palette clean of whatever the last interpretation was because you’re exhausting me!’ However, there are a couple of key factors here. One of them is that he’s back in the Marvel Universe, he’s interacting with characters that you’ve never seen him interact before, it’s actually a young actor playing the part which is a new interpretation of the character and that’s what I remember about the character when I was a kid. The cons are obviously fatigue but the pros are that it could potentially be a really invigorating piece of story telling and a catalyzing interpretation of the character. At the end of the day, the purpose here is to deliver a Spider-Man that people will **** themselves over. 

“Captain America: Civil War” has  a May 6, 2016 release date directed by Anthony and Joe Russo starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Frank Grillo, Paul Bettany, Don Cheadle, Emily VanCamp, William Hurt, Martin Freeman and Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther.

“If I’m not playing Spider-Man, I’m not doing shit,” Ice Cube said. “I’m not about to play one of these side-busters.”

So with Ice Cube stating he isn’t one to play a sidekick, he offers which Marvel character would suit him.

Captain America: Civil War Trailer Had 100 Million Views In 24 Hours


Captain America: Civil War Final Trailer
 

The new Captain America: Civil War trailer featuring Spider-Man is said to have hit 100 million views in its first 24 hours.

According to Disney (via EW), the trailer had 94.7 million views worldwide within 24 hours, which fan surpasses Age Of Ultron‘s then-record of 33.4 million.

As noted, the Marvel YouTube count from Friday afternoon saw more than 22 million views; the Marvel UK YouTube had close to 2 million views, and more than two dozen foreign language versions of the trailer are also available.

Marvel’s Facebook page recorded over 17 million views, with the Marvel Captain America Facebook page also having around 17 million. Add in Twitter as well, plus any other private or alternate site video displays (as well as PC and home viewings) and we can probably guess it’s north of 100 million.

As it stands, the current box office estimates for the opening weekend of Captain America: Civil War are around $160-170 million.

Spider-Man's Squinty Eyes Possibly Explained!

Spider-Man’s Squinty Eyes Possibly Explained!


Smile!
 

O ye, of little faith!

Yeah, that applies to yours truly and my other cohorts and Cosmic Book News!

Earlier today, I wrote up an article how we weren’t too thrilled with the look of the new Marvel Tom Holland Spider-Man costume revealed in the Captain America: Civil War trailer (watch below), which quickly went viral (see the below Facebook post). My main gripe was the movement of Spider-Man’s eyes, as I felt it came off too cartoonish and didn’t make a lot of sense. 

However, now a rather possible fathomable explanation has been pointed out to me that, if true, is actually really cool.

DC Comics and Marvel artist Brad Walker pointed out on his Twitter that the squinty eyes of Spider-Man could be — camera lenses! So it’s possible what we see in the trailer is Spider-Man actually snapping photographs of The Avengers in action! Fans of Spider-Man will recall that Peter used to have a belt camera, and we do see this version of the costume is spot on with the comics, so Marvel Studios may simply have given Spidey a more contemporary upgrade. Makes a lot of sense. It’s also been pointed out by a few of you that this Spider-Man costume could be an early version created by Peter with further upgrades to come.

I suppose we have Nolan to blame for our ultra-realistic snobby opinions! 

Update: Check out a cool fan manip below of what Spider-Man’s eyes might look like with the lenses fully open.

 

We’re hoping they improve on the new Spider-Man costume–> http://on.cbnws.cc/226wvz8

We’re Not Sold On The New Marvel Spider-Man Costume

 
High-Res Spider-Man Image
 

I like to think we here at Cosmic Book News hold ourselves to a higher standard than other sites or even some fans out there. Just because something might be “so and so” doesn’t necessarily mean we – or anyone – should accept it or be happy with it. When you start to accept second best – or worse – don’t be surprised if that’s all you get.

That’s why we continue to battle Marvel Comics over their “Cosmic” line — even though that is how our site was created and started (Nova and Guardians of the Galaxy).

I’m also pretty happy with the fact we gave Star Wars: The Force Awakens a negative review. Checking out some reviews and comments online, they act like it was the next best thing since sliced bread. Funny. The same was said about Phantom Menace when it debuted.

Now we have Spider-Man.

Marvel and Sony recently gave us a first look at the new Tom Holland Spider-Man in the Captain America: Civil War trailer (watch below). I suppose it’s safe to say the CGI/special effects (?) aren’t yet finished with the new Spidey, but my overall impression is that I am not too impressed with the costume. It’s way too bright and cartoonish. I was also left wondering what was up with the movement in Spidey’s eyes? We just saw Deadpool do that, but as DP breaks the fourth wall, it can slide. I actually thought I was watching an animated version of the new Spider-Man in the trailer. Didn’t they use a real actor (Holland?) in the scene, or is it totally digital? It came off more as the latter than anything practical. 

Update: A cool explanation for Spidey’s squinty eyes has surfaced.

I also asked CBN’s very own Chris “Doc” Bushley about Spider-Man. Chris’ first impression? Remember Spider-Man in the Electric Company? Yep. Chris did point out in the new comics, Spider-Man’s costume is almost like nanotech and can cover his body, which has a power source in his chest similar to Iron Man. Perhaps that explains how Spider-Man’s mask can move with his expressions (I suppose)?


Spider-Man From The Electric Company

I also asked our movie reviewer Lawrence Napoli about his thoughts. Lawrence wasn’t impressed as well. Lawrence says he was excited by the surprise, but instantly over it and somewhat underwhelmed by Spidey.

Brian Amey, who has written for us in the past, did offer up he liked the look and said the CGI is definitely unfinished. Brian did state it currently looks very flat and offers it will be intersting to see that the final version looks like.

As noted, this may not be the final look of the new Spider-Man costume, but we just want the best possible version. Admittedly, taking a close look at the high-res pic, the Spider-Man costume doesn’t look all that bad. For a quick comparison, here is the Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire Spider-Man costumes followed by the Tom Holland:

Spider-Man: The First Avenger Video Game Rumored

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24620:]]

A new Spider-Man video game from Activision is rumored to be coming out.

According to a notable gaming leaker, Activision has plans for Spider-Man: The First Avenger, which is said to tie into the new Tom Holland movie as well as the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Activision previously put out Spider-Man games for the Andrew Garfield films, so a new Tom Holland Spider-Man video game woudn’t be out of the question.

What’s rather interesting is that the Spider-Man: The First Avenger game would tie into the MCU, which doesn’t really have many console games out there. The last console games associated with Marvel movies were the poorly received Thor: God of Thunder and Captain America: Super Soldier games.

The title for the new game, Spider-Man: The First Avenger, may also give credence to the rumored title of the new stadalone Tom Holland movie with “Spider-Man: The New Avenger.”

Tom Holland debuts as Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War; the standalone Spider-Man reboot has a July 7, 2017 release.

Ice Cube Rumored For J. Jonah Jameson In Spider-Man Reboot

With Marvel and Sony rebooting Spider-Man, it’s now being rumored that Ice Cube is up to play J. Jonah Jameson.

The rumor comes from All Hip Hop, where it’s noted Ice Cube tweeted out it’s news to him.

Fan-favorite actor J.K. Simmons portrayed J. Jonah Jameson in the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies and recently said he would be open to returning as the character.

Spider-Man gets rebooted with Tom Holland in May’s Captain America: Civil War. With the standalone Spider-Man movie due out in the Summer of 2017, Marvel and Sony are certainly coming up with a list of actors for the various roles. Is Ice Cube amongst them? Time will tell, but Marisa Tomei is said to be playing a new contemporary version of Aunt May. As we’ve seen recently with Michael B. Jordan cast as the Human Torch, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, it wouldn’t be unheard of to have a black actor cast in what has been normally considered a white role.

Ice Cube recently completed filming on Barbershop: The Next Cut and is rumored to return for xXx: The Return Of Xander Cage.

Venom Movie In The Works Unrelated To Marvel & Tom Holland Spider-Man

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24603:]]

It still sounds like Sony hasn’t learned anything from the Amazing Spider-Man movies.

THR is reporting Sony is developing a new Venom movie which is: “being envisioned as a franchise apart from and unrelated to the upcoming Spider-Man movie in the works with actor Tom Holland.”

It’s noted long-time Spider-Man producer Avi Arad is behind the new Venom movie along with Amazing Spider-Man producer Matt Tomalch. Edge of Tomorrow writer Dante Harper is writing the Venom script.

Avi Arad was previously blamed for the failure and problems associated with the Andrew Garfield Amazing Spider-Man films, and it was said when Marvel got the property back, they wanted nothing to do with Arad. According to previous reports, both Avi Arad and Matt Tomalch have been “downgraded” as executive producers on the new Tom Holland Spider-Man, with it said they will have “no real say in the creative direction of the franchise.”

Now it appears as they can no longer do anything with Spider-Man, the pair have set their sites set on the next best thing with Venom.

THR’s report makes mention it’s unclear what version of Venom they are going with: The classic Venom that is a monstrous alien symbiote or the version in the comics that is more of an anti-hero attached to Peter Parker’s buddy Flash Thompson.

It’s further said: “This Venom is meant to not only stand on its own but to also launch its own franchise.”

More On Spider-Man’s Intro In Captain America: Civil War

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24413:]]

With members of Team Cap and Team Iron Man known, it only remains to be seen how Spider-Man will fit into the Captain America: Civil War equation.

The latest issue of Empire Magazine offers a hint as it’s said Spider-Man enters the fray after the sides are already drawn.

Check out the blurb:

The final key combatant here is Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, returning to the Marvel Studios fold after a deal was struck with rights holder Sony. He comes in after the battle lines have been drawn, and forms a relationship with one character who, for now, the Russo’s won’t identify. “Tom’s unbelievable,” says Joe. “We’re very excited to present our vision of Spider-Man to the world. He was my favorite character growing up, so for a comic geek like me, this is a real moment.”

More than likely the character Spider-Man forms a relationship with is Tony Stark, as that’s what happened with the comics and has previously been rumored. It will also be interesting to see if it’s touched upon that Spider-Man is a 15-year-old boy involved in a “war.” Even though Peter Parker has the super powers of a spider, when it comes down to it, he’s still just a high school kid.
