Homecoming and it's inevitable sequel are canon. Everything after that and all the spin-off movies like Venom and Silver Sable are non-canon. In fact, they're NEGATIVE canon. They're so non-canon that they make Agents of SHIELD canon.

The rational side of me took this as her saying having to be literal for the time being as they only have a two movie contract but hopes for more collab in the future with disney/marvel. But then again, why even mention it all in the first place?

The more cynical side of me thinks Avi Arad has successfully re-asserted his utterly toxic influence and has planted the idea for Sony to jump ship on the MCU and reboot spider-man again to join the new Sony-Spidy universe he's beginning with the Venom movie then Black cat movie. He might want to use the revitalised public interest that comes from Homecoming and spider-man in the MCU to convince the execs at Sony that they could make more money by rebooting spider-man and having his movie rights solely to Sony again

Given how incompetent sony are as shown by the leaks makes me more inclined to believe the latter

>One of the things that I think is so amazing about this experience is that you don't have studios deciding to work together to make a film very often.

>In fact, it may never happen again--after we do the sequel.

Eh, this is what I get.

I think she's just saying that on the Sony side, they get to have Marvel to make two Spider-Man movies for them while on the third one, Sony will make it by themselves without Marvel Studios.

But on the Marvel Studios side, they still can make MCU movies where Spidey get to make an appearance.

So yeah, when it comes to the universe itself, Spidey will still be in it. He'll make appearances in MCU movies, just that his solo movies past the 2nd one isn't gonna be handled by Marvel Studios and perhaps won't feature characters from the MCU ever again. There's really nothing disappointing that came out from Amy's words.

Spider-Fags deserve this. They've been non-stop asking for Spider-Man in the MCU, and then they want Spider-Man to take over the MCU. Fuck him. He stopped being interesting after Spider-Man 3.

They get to use spider-man in avengers 3 and 4. Marvel gets to sell spider-man merch. Star wars and spider-man toys make lots and LOTS of money. This is good for disney to put spider-man in avengers movies.

Sony had always said they were still planning to do spin-off movies and that the deal merely changed dates. Them not being in the MCU is shitty and stupid as fuck. Someone needs to slap sony and tell them to play nice.

Nothing to do with the fact that Spidey is a guy who bops bank robbers and individual crazy mad industrialists, and isn't known for trying to save Sokovian cities from being dropped from orbit.

He's not Batman, Marvel doesn't have to pretend he's indispensably useful against all threats ever.

Big fucking deal. Besides, Amy is just bitter because its out of her hands now. Why? Because Sony Japan is sick of her and Sony Pictures shit.

They're hemorrhaging money, and Sony Japan has wanted them gone for years. They have better concerns, mostly around the Playstation. The only reason why Sony Pictures agreed to Marvel Studios terms is because Japan DEMANDED it. The leaked emails exposed the level of incompetence going on, and they had enough. Better to take the fucking paycheck instead of driving the Spider Man IP into the ground

>>91123342
From what I understand, Disney only gains profits from crossover Spider Man appearances. Homecoming, and any other standalone, is made by them, but revenue goes towards Sony Pictures. Not sure about merchandising profits, but whoever is getting that is making bank. Fact is Disney has the dough to make several movies FOR Sony without much of a loss, considering it still helps their other IPs. Depending on Sony's financial status by the Homecoming sequel, Disney's army of lawyers may gain more control over the property

That chart doesn't figure in the expense of making said movies.
Sony and WB both tend to make incredibly expensive films. For what they are, the Spider-Man films cost way, way too much.

WB dropped 65 million just to make Affleck's gangster vanity picture, and it made 20 million WORLDWIDE.
Remember, WB has made several DC films that didn't even recoup their production budget, and more that were effectively a wash. (none of them DCEU, but we have Wonder Woman coming up with Catwoman's 100 mil budget so hold on to your ass).

Are you b8ing or you really thought Marvel got or will get the right backs?

The deal was explained already. Mcu people can crossover to SOLO SM, and SM can crossover to the MCU to help promoting the both brands.

Sony keeps the rights for the whole spider-man franchise, has complete creative control for SOLO movies and gets complete profits from solo movies.

Those are the "strings". Sony gets Marvel to legitimize the new reboot and get free marketing
Marvel gets to revitalize the mcu.

A problem of working within a previously established universe. Blame Civil War, Peter's interaction with Stark and the accords that are rapidly starting to apply to Spider Man.

Tell me about it. Although at this point I can't give a rats ass about the MCU. It's all the safe formulaic quip fests over and over. Guardians is lelrandumb comedy and Thor 3 looks like a kindergarten play. Really disappointing to see Spider-Mman turned into a High School Musical style film starring RDJ.

I mean, honestly. What is appealing about Miles that anybody would give him a movie?
Bonus points if the movie you give him isn't an origin story or a blatant allegory for current events.

He's like Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel. Without retooling his character and backstory for the MCU, there's nothing in the comics to suggest that he'll be of any long-term interest.

See this is why Disney desperately wants the FF back, not because of the team itself, but from the associated villains that come with the packaged deal. Seeing The Surfer in Guardians would be cool, but Dr Doom is the best choice for an overarching villain after Thanos fucks off to the farm. Either that or Kang I suppose, but I really want to see Doom done right this time. Hell, theres plenty of groundwork laid out already to accommodate Doom.

1. Nothing stops them from using Kang, certainly not the FF rights
2. They haven't touched the Masters of Evil, Nefaria, High Evolutionary, Taskmaster, or most of the villains associated with the individual heroes like The Leader or even "real" Mandarin.

>>

Seems legit.

The problem is that for Sony the deal is leveraging Spider-Man in a way that they don't want - tying him explicitly and permanently to the MCU would make it very hard for them, say ten pictures from now, to reboot and do their own thing if they felt they weren't getting what they should out of the deal.

If for example Sony uses of the characters were being held up by Marvel Studios requests or the course of their own movies was being dictated from another studio, and this was happening in a way that benefited the other studio but not particularly Sony.

So it's smart to not sign up for anything indefinite, and that includes making it clear that the deal is under constant scrutiny. Maybe there's a lot of requests going through to see what Sony actually think they own (since it won't necessarily be clear). Good enough to put out some reminders that what Sony does own is Spider-Man, indefinitely.

Ultimately, that's the problem Sony faces: they don't have the FOX problem where it's just about pumping them out until they stop selling and the rights revert, they've got a whole other problem of having to consider the 10-year, 20-year view - probably long after the current executives have gone, in the main, but necessary to placate shareholders who rightly want to know how Sony is maximizing the potential of this billion-dollar property. After all, if it can keep making billion-dollar equivalent grosses decades from now (and a decade and a half from the first time it did so), that's good business.

They literally can't use Kang because he's with the FF for some reason.

>going from Thanos to Zemo and a bunch of literally whos as the final boss
Amy Pascal stop posting. They might do a nice storyline post IW if they kinda pull an Onslaught.

The only villain in the MCU powerful enough to top Thanos and that also is somewhat recognizable among the casual public is Dormammu. In terms of profits Galactus or Doom would be a much better choice.
>>
>>91125409
>Could happen, or perhaps the Thunderbolts. We'll see. But they need more villains to fill that out.
They have:
Abomination
Zemo (give him some serum)
Enchantress and Executioner as of this year
Klaw as of Black Panther
They could easily drop a couple of "new" villains in the same film, like a Chinese Radioactive Man, Melter, whatever

Galactus and Dr. Doom are still far more popular and recognizable than Dormammu by a mile, they probably forgotten about him at this point. Dr. Strange wasn't that popular.

It doesn't matter how many bad movies they were in, it'll happen exactly the same that's happening with Spidey.

I doubt it. No executives as bad as Sony Pictures ever think about what happens after they are gone.

What is more likely, is that current Sony Pictures executives are worried that once Homecoming becomes the biggest Spiderman movie ever made, they would end up becoming useless. That they would be exposed as the meaningless sacks of shits that they are who have no business running a film studio.

The fact is even though they get all the profits from Homecoming, the executives couldn't TAKE THE CREDIT for it. It wasn't their idea for the team up, Sony Japan did it. So it literally hurts them if Homecoming do well. Homecoming is going to make them look bad. And if this continues on in the future then their jobs would be at risk.

Loki carried those two movies. In Ragnarok the public is more interested for a supporting character (Hulk) than the so called hero.

By the time Iron Man was released people were already riding the MCU/Iron Man dick, no casual knew who the fuck the Mandarin is (they still don't), it's obvious he was the one people were paying to see. If they made their villains actually good people would want to see them, but they keep shitting up bland as fuck bad guys so nobody cares about them. It's completely stupid to undermine a an antagonist marketability like that.

Dr. Doom and Galactus can actually generate enough hype to attract viewers with the "Marvel is doing them now" shit alone.
>>
>>91126068

I never said it wasn't 'originally' I meant after the failure during the production, instead of pulling the plug, they knowingly released a heap of garbage to keep the rights.

The intent changed during how badly production went and they bumped executive producer to director and completely locked out old director from production like he was a child to be put in timeout.
>>
>>91126190
So they'd just eat the full 120 million as a loss?

That's not even logical.
>>
>>91126253

It made back some money and Deadpool made nearly a billion dollars during it's movie release, first week digital and well over a billion during dvd release last year.

It did better than something retarded like top 50 other dvds combined for nearly a half a year or something.

Deadpool for one movie made up for their three biggest losses as a single write down and still made them something obscene like 240ish million profit.

People don't realize how big of a success it was. It made something like 20 million from first week of digital release(which they released early) and that doesn't even add in second sales rights to HBO and stuff like that.

The FF rights are worth a lot of money, the villains alone are worth a lot of money and they know it.

The first FF movie before capeshit really took off in 04/05 still made triple it's budget.

They took other losses along with the F4 movie too, and they can afford that when you get huge wins, especially unexpected ones.
>>
>>91126253

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=fantasticfour15.htm

to show you numbers, they probably spent even more than that 120 million, they did a lot of advertising too, it was probably closer to 200 million at least.

They recouped about half of their losses.

>>
>>91126489
>Better than if they never released at all
Yes, but that's common sense, you don't just throw 120m+ bucks into the trash if you have even a slight chance of getting some money back, the tiny budget, and other cape movies making money despite poor reviews allowed that possibility and to top it all they "killed" the IP in the process.

Your claim that it made "some money back" is wrong. Tranktastic was a terrible business.
>>
>>91126577
He's simply saying that they managed to take less of a loss with it's awful box-office, not that they profited from the whole thing.
Merchandising rights to the movie probably offset much of the marketing for it, so it likely wasn't a massive loss of cash for them.

i think F4 is in a daredevil situation right now

FOX is neck deep in deadpool and x-force stuff right now, so that will be their front burner projects

2 reboots is an impossible hurdle for FOX to overcome. raimi's trilogy was still overall good than bad, and trank's F4 pretty much killed any hope for the next few years

fox will have 2 outcomes; 1) do a deal with marvel, just like sony did with spidey. sort of has a chance, after the ego trade with guardians and legion/mutant shows, the relationship seems to be getting better. 2) they'll try to get a reboot off the ground, but will run out of time and the rights will revert like daredevil did and blade did with new line.

if they try to reboot a 3rd time, it'll most likely flop because "not my MCU" is still a very powerful demographic as well as the fact that no studio has done 3 reboots and succeeded.

the crazy part will be disney will have made 2 incredible movies FOURTEEN years apart and still be better F4 movies in spirit than FOX would've done in 4 attempts in 10 years

On 4chan.
Fox still gets to put the Marvel logo in front of their films, and that is still worth hype to general audiences. Trank's movie didn't fail because MCU fans rejected it; it failed because it completely rejected everything that people like in the MCU films.
>>
>>91127494
F4 under FOX is pretty much cursed now. Unlike other film series which are considered bad but still has fanbases or people interested enough to watch to reach box office goals like Transformers, Slasher films and so on, Trank4 was a critical failure to critics and the public and Fox taking out another one would be a loss for them unless they do a Deadpool to save it, meaning either
>They lowbudget F4 to keep the rights, recuperate losses from the X-Men franchise
>They do a connected universe with X-Men (whcih they already tried with a post credit in F4 and failed)
>>
>>91127494
3) They can't make new FF movies without it flopping.The bubble bursts. Capes no longer make money. They get stuck with an unprofitable IP.
>>
>>91127617
I like to think Fox has the better middle ground of the three cape studios. MCU is at its top but likely the formula's getting stale. DCEU is at the bottom trying to climb up with news controversies dragging it down and then there's Fox whom, has both stale formulas and a couple of movies that's mediocre but beyond that there's always the surprise movies because they decided to take risks and change the formula and do R-rated oneshots.
>>
>>91127669
You can't lowbudget the FF, the minute they get their powers you've entered into the SFX money-zone.
The Thing alone eats money while onscreen.
A Thing costume just ain't gonna cut it in this day and age. Croc spent most of the movie in a coat and hood in the dark, his face is onscreen for very little actual time.

>>91127784
It is true enough for me. Dr. Strange's plot bored me to tears. Antman was near linear if not for the fun Heist take on the superhero movie. Spider-Man's trailer seems underwhelming when compared to Ragnarok and GOTG. Let's not forget Ironman 2 and 3 being disappointments and somewhat similar.
>Antagonist seems like they're from x country and are terrorists

>>
>>91126166
>Loki carried those two movies. In Ragnarok the public is more interested for a supporting character (Hulk) than the so called hero.
MCU Loki didn't exist before Thor 1 so people went for Thor not Loki.

People are looking forward to Ragnarok for the setting and plot mainly. This movie looks so vastly different from the other two Thor takes people think that this time it might be a fun movie. I'm inclined to agree. James Gunn has set this precedent of MCU Cosmic = Color and Spacepunk so at least the movie will be very visually pleasing.
>>
>>91127755
it's still possible to make an unappealing movie with a Marvel Logo in front of it; AoA was Singer wearing out his tired-ass single plotline, ASM and ASM 2 earned more than half the films in the MCU library, simply because Spider-Man is incredibly well loved by young boys, and they don't get a lot of movies to get excited about each year.

The X-Men and Deadpool are inextricably associated with Marvel and Marvel comics, just like Spider-Man. It gives them a synergistic bump as the MCU thrives, but it's no guarantee of huge success, as Agents of Shield surely shows.

It's called word of mouth, anon. Iron Man didn't exist before the movie and yet it still was a box office hit and the same happened with GotG. Tom Hiddleston completely stole the spotlight in the first Thor movie.

>People are looking forward to Ragnarok for the setting and plot mainly.
While I agree with you, (that's entirely the reason I'm hype for that movie), I still hold that the casual audience is still going to see it because it has the Hulk on it. They don't know jackshit about Thor mythos to be interested in the plot.

Xavier and Magneto's high-handed attempts to "win" Wolverine is tired as fuck.
Spider-Man's baseline box office is somewhere around Doctor Strange-Suicide Squad even if it's complete shit.
This logo is a nice boost for any cape film, if they don't make another Incredible Hulk-type fiasco.
Oh and Deadpool is an abberation that floated on massive hype, anticipation and Reynold's playing a character he's practiced his whole life.

TV is a weird case because despite having Samuel L. Jackson and other MCU actors on it nobody ever cared about AoS. The Netflix shows sell like hotcakes, even Iron Fist is one of the most popular shows there despite the racial controversy.

Spider-Man, Wolverine and Deadpool have a pre-established fanbase and are likely to sell, but if Fox tried an obscure character movie it'd do below average box office, so the studio brand actually matters.

We don't know. But they didn't shelve Trank's Fantastic Four film.


>It is the case, they probably thought they could actually make money rather than taking a loss.

Kinberg and everyone else knew it was going to be a disaster by October. By that point if the option was available to shelve it and not worry about wasting even more money, they would've done it instead of spending like four months on more reshoots. What was it, half the film was reshot? You don't need to do that if your other option was shelving it like the 1994 film. Just do super-low budget, film the ending, and shelve it.
>>
>>91129536
I'm not certain they'll reboot the MCU for decades.
Most likely they'll fish around for a actor who can pull people into films the way RDjr has, and make that character their new linchpin, and occasionally have the older characters guest-appear.
Trying to re-cast Steve Rodgers or Tony Stark would be a mistake, and I think they know it.

Cumberpatch was clearly an (unsuccessful) effort to reproduce the Downey magic using the same basic character formula.
I expect them to keep at it.

Leading up to X-Men's release, Marvel Studios negotiated a deal with then-functional Artisan Entertainment, successful with the low-budget The Blair Witch Project, for a co-production joint venture that included rights to 15 Marvel characters including Captain America, Thor, Black Panther, Iron Fist, and Deadpool. Artisan would finance and distribute while Marvel would developing licensing and merchandising tie-ins. The resulting production library, which would also include TV series, direct-to-video films and internet projects, would be co-owned.[29] With the deal at the time, 24 Marvel properties were then in various stages of development.

They restructured the optioned deal just before 2000 which was six years after 1994.

Then why didn't they shelve the 2015 film if the option was available? You don't need to waste even more money on it. Face it, something changed in the contract. For that matter, the 1994 contract wasn't with Fox, but a German production company.

Its like a trap bait for MCU fags and normies for them to start supporting Sony. And so spiderman rights can stay with them


So despicable

They are even dangling Venom and Black cat movies

Problem with Dr Strange was pacing. Its not a science experiment or a machine he built that made him who he is, he had to train for years to become Sorcerer Supreme. So it was a bit unclear exactly how long Steven was training in the movie, and hopefully hes master status fighting Shuma Gorath in the sequel

I see Sony making public they plan to release Venom and build their own cinematic universe (again) just a few months before their film collaboration with Marvel premieres as a woman who posts in public social media that's she's cheating on her husband.
>>
>>91129758

the only information anyone has is previous deals since the actual rights deals have never been made public after the disney buyout except for the deals they've made with paramount/sony

http://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/superheroes-that-marvel-does-not-own-the-rights-to-anymore.html/?a=viewall

Back in 2005, 20th Century Fox thought they had the next big movie franchise when they released their Fantastic Four movie. However, after one flop of a sequel, the franchise remained dormant until Fox released a similarly reviled reboot. Despite the reboot’s failure, there’s still a planned sequel in the works for 2017, as Fox clearly is reluctant to let go of this one without at least trying to go out in a blaze of glory.

The big problem here is that any new character created within this universe by Marvel in the comics automatically becomes the property of Fox. This in turn led to speculation that the recent cancellation of the Fantastic Four comic series was a direct response to that. Marvel even reportedly issued an edict where, according to AV Club, writers were “forbidden to create new characters,” lest they end up in Fox’s pocket in theaters.

In an even stranger turn of events, rumors flew around that Marvel and Fox had apparently come to an accord over the rights, putting the Fantastic Four firmly back in Marvel’s hands. Both studios soon came out and refuted this, but it still makes us wonder: is something in the works? Perhaps it was a preliminary deal that has yet to be finalized, or maybe even worse, an agreed-upon deal that fell through at the last second.

Nobody besides two companies knows the deal, all that we have is rights deals they made before disney bought them out and they've been sitting on what they had since Disney is actively trying to get everything back.

So the deal ended up being about ego/tv shows and not getting FF rights back

You could easily add Spider-Girl to Tobey's Spidey universe and set the hook for a new series of movies involving May.

I'd also add Spider-UK, Dong Lover as Spider-Punk and maybe Jim Sturgess as SpOck or Assassin Spidey.

It definitely lacked more training scenes, everything was so sudden, and of course the villain was Malekith tier. But I guess you can't have him go full-god mode and fight abstracts before Thanos appears. It's gonna be interesting to see what his powerlevel is in Ragnarok.

>>91129740
>Because you don't shelve a project that has already cost 120m

Then why not release it in a few theaters and then direct-to-DVD? Happened with Hellraiser when they tried to keep the rights. I mean at what point did they decide to spend $120 million on it if they still had that option? I remembered there were rumors of them trying to replace Trank the year they were about to start filming. If things had gotten that bad they could've cut their losses right at the start that year.

>from what we've seen, worse for Hollywood execs than actual failure.

Is it? This ended up being a failure to the point where Rupert Murdoch had to admit to shareholders that films out at that time such as Fantastic Four (which he even named) didn't help them financially that quarter.

Sony fell for the cape hype meme.

Marvel sells like hot cakes. Fox did it. The Amazing Spider-Man despite being horrible did it. They were gullible enough to think Fant4stic would also sell even if it was terrible.

Fat4stic is FOX.
>>
>>91129884
This.
>>
>>91129891
Shit, you're right. But I still think capes being a box office powerhouse made them believe people would eat up Fant4stic.

I'll cite the Amazing Spider-Man 2 again because it was legitimately a fucking shit movie and it made 700m.

>>91129891
Yes.
Fox thought they could recoup their money (or even make a small profit) before anyone realized it was garbage. And pre-internet age, they might have.

He wasn't Sorceror Supreme at the end of the movie, he was an initiate with a super-powerful relic, an artifact cloak, and a few basic rookie spells. He simply had an ingenious idea for using the Time Stone.
At no point was he whipping evil mage ass like the Ancient One, he was generally running for his life and beating people with conveniently placed stuff like the doors and the bands.

>>91129985

They had different follow up plans after tepid welcome of apocalypse, which should have been a marquee event.

And some weird pr synergy, she kept talking about how she passed over the role in deadpool which is hilarious how it all turned out.

I can't figure out if they did that for PR reasons, or if it was one of those freudian things as an actor where you realize your agent/you fucked up passing over one project for the other and trying to make yourself feel better.

Honestly I'd be down for a Spiderverse movie including Tobey, Andrew, and Tom. They could even make Tobey and Andrew actually meet other Marvel characters. (Although that might be a little forced.)

Hell I'd even be down with a Venom movie and a Black Cat movie, as long as they include Tom's Spider-Man and have it all still technically be part of the MCU.

But if course, as far as we know, none of this is happening for now, so, whatever.

They only "hinted" because they literally couldn't do the cross over legally. It was an outright lie.

And then as my previous pic showed, they removed Fant4stic from everything else to stop the contamination.

I don't agree with what Sony may be doing but it makes sense, Spider-man is one of their biggest franchises, in their mind, they want to milk it for all its worth, and also
>R-rated violent superhero films like deadpool and Logan have been a massive success when Sony have been planning a venom film
>suicide squad, an ensamble film of villains has been incredibly profitable for WB when Sony set out to make a sinister six film since the production of ASM2

Sony must be feeling like their missing out on the gravy train, and given how tight Marvel/Disney are over the continuinity of the MCU, i highly doubt they'd allow Sony to believe a concurrent spider-man series of movies set within the MCU without completely giving up creative control like they did for homecoming, and Sony will definitely want spider-man to feature in their new venom-universe

Fucking easily. Very much like with consoles, Sony is not about innovation, it's about stealing shit and doing it competently because path has already been laid for them.

Less lucky with cinematic universes, though. They thought Ghostbusters would give them a cinematic universe.

Sony Pictures is so segregated from Sony Japan, that Sony Japan didn't know what the studio was doing until the Sony Hack revealed it. So don't assume the two things have anything to do with each other.

I'm surprised this isn't bigger news given how zealous MCU fags are over their Spider-Man. Maybe they're all too busy making retarded reaction videos over the trailer to even give a shit.
>>
>>91132281
MCUfags have been labelling it as fake news because for some reason they think Kevin Feige will be able to exert his influence over a bunch of retarded executives, when they're far more interested in what they personally believe will make them more money rather than pursue some altruistic desire to have Spider-man a part of the MCU and interact with other Marvel characters like the fans want
>>
>>91132223
"M-me too!" Is the Sony mantra.

The Ghostbusters movie could have been good if it had been a new take on GB, not a retarded "what if Ghostbusters were girl's tee-hee!"

Make the new Ghostbusters a mixed team with men and women, and make their gender secondary to their characters, put actual thought into the story.
>>
>>91132306
If jokes stayed the same and cast was male it wouldn't be any better. It's actually just an unfunny movie and needs a rewrite with director who doesn't hate his penis.
>>
>>91132303
I like Kevin Feige, I admire the guy, but you can smell the jealousy of execs at Sony and Fox, who would love to go back to the way cape movies were made in the 80s and 90s. They hate that Feige forced them to work hard, because establishing a cinematic universe requires patience and thought, which is why Warner's, Sony, and Fox are all bumbling about trying to create their own.

The MCU was built on a framework of committing to a plan and sticking to it.

This was where Feige succeeded; he actually stuck to a plan, in contrast to the mentality of his counterparts in Sony, Fox, and DC, who drop everything if the wind changes direction.

Marvel Studios has reacted and changed things, sure, but not in the neurotic, flakey way others have.

Warner Brothers, for example, panics every time something goes awry, delay the shoot, cancel the movie, change tone, etc.

>>91132801
I have my problems with the MCU, but I actually thought it was a good response when someone asked Feige (or was it Bob Iger) if they're going to do an R-rated superhero movie now that Deadpool was a huge success. He said something like "No we don't have any plans to do that, maybe at some point in the future if it fits".

They are the most confident studio right now when it comes making superhero movies. Like their direction or not, I appreciate that they're sticking to the plan. Just because Fox did great with Logan and Deadpool doesn't mean every studio needs to rush out R-rated movies now. It's not the R-rating that made those movies good and it seems to me like Sony is missing that with their fast tracking of Venom. I have a feeling it won't be the success they're hoping for, especially if they're gonna rush it and won't pick someone who has a clear, confident vision for the movie. Slapping an R-rating is not the recipe for success, a good script and a passionate director is.
>>
>>91127942
At this point they'd probably be better off making Agent of Asgard a thing with Loki.
>>
>>91133766
You kinda need teenage Loki for that, no? The reason why people like Loki so much is because of Hiddleston's performance. A recast wouldn't go well unless they find a really, really good teenage actor. Which is pretty hard.
>>
>>91134580
Just omit the teenage part. Tony is also way older than he should be.
>>
>>91127942
You see, I beg to differ. I'm a normalfag who was never a comic book nerd as much as the denizens of this board are, and yet I still knew who Iron Man was, (and considered him a pretty signficiant Marvel character,) long before the movie. Same with Captain America. And I'm pretty sure everyone else knew who they were too.
