Anticipating Spider-Man: Homecoming (and then presumably Spider-Man: Prom)

Ah. I think Tuomas was referring specifically to the MCU. I thought by now at least one incidental character from the TV shows would've popped up in a movie but nope. I think I thought Sitwell first showed up on AoS but I realized recently that he was a fairly nondescript SHIELD dude walking around in a couple of the early films.

Hannibal Burress has been cast in an undisclosed role. I'm hoping for JJJ.

It's gonna be Robbie Robertson, isn't it

Bill Cosby

hannibal burress IS rocket racer

there's more footage in this international trailer:

looks pretty fun, but i'm kinda annoyed by the fact that they seem to have given miles morales' best friend ganke to peter parker :(

Oh, seriously? Huh. Well, that's stupid and unnecessary.

It's got the little wings on the costume from the original Ditko Spider-Man and the Vulture? Sounds good to me!

actually, looking into it a bit more, it seems that jacob batalon is in fact playing ned leeds of all people - i just assumed he must be playing ganke cuz he looks very much like ganke and he seems to have a similar dorky-best-friend role

much as i enjoyed tom holland as peter parker in civil war i still kinda wish this movie was about miles morales tho

yeah would rather see miles morales but idk at least the trailer makes it feel basically like a spider-man movie and not just a pile of nonsense like the last one. also glad to see john portman's atlanta marriott marquis getting its due. gotta say it'd be nice if they found a way to finally include spider-man's origin story, though.

i'm resigned to the fact they're not making a miles morales film but i am willing to accept fake ganke as tribute

Actually, they are (or at least were) making an animated Miles Morales film. It was supposed to be released next year but has been pushed back.

(I assume it'll be something like Big Hero 6 which is technically a Marvel movie but not an actual MCU movie.)

the trailer makes it feel basically like a spider-man movie

i think that's exactly the reason why i'm not exactly thrilled by what i've seen so far, cuz we've had five spider-man movies (six if you count civil war) in the last fifteen years and this does seem to be a remix of elements of all of them, with added marvel universe star power and the best peter parker yet. as huge a spider-man stan as ai am i dunno if that's gonna be enough!

was that the lord/miller animated spidey movie or something else? xxp

Yeah, that's the one. It's unclear whether production has even started on it, though, so grain of salt.

an animated spider-man movie with a quarter of the fun and invention of cloudy with a chance of meatballs would be fantastic. imdb has virtually no info on it and apparently chris lord is writing but someone else is making their directorial debut on it. i guess i won't hold my breath on seeing miles on-screen either live-action or animated anytime soon...

looks cool. that shot of the Vulture sweeping down (at the Hyatt Regency?) = they shooting these movies at Dragon Con now!

god i hope he does the bane voice

The new trailer is insanely fun.

i am weirdly unpsyched for this

Uh hmmmm
Let's talk up Iron Man

i have to make this poster for spider man

oh my lord
where was that .PSD stored
who cares
i'm just an intern, man

post movie posters done in a busy/claustrophobic caricature style from the 70s and 80s

god that poster is awful

it looks like the designed-by-committee result of agents fighting over exactly where their clients will be placed and how big their faces appear

'robert needs his image to be 2mm wider and 6mm to the left or he fucking walks, okay?'

thankfully we have both Iron Man and a yuge head of Tony Stark

Spider Man and Peter Parker (who just drank a glass of water and is trying not to open his mouth)

Michael Keaton and also a shot of main villain The Vulture who is for some reason half the size of Iron Man and pushed off to the side

why is U2's The Edge sitting on Keaton's shoulder, shooting a lense flare gun

also can we put in the Washington monument and make it look like it is in NYC somehow? don't worry if the ground level is off. thanks

post movie posters done in a word cloud style except with faces instead of words

Movie posters should just be a balance sheet of expected returns, actors' salaries, etc.

TBF, there are other, better ones featuring just Spidey. I'm fond of this one:

yeah that one interesting and deceptively has a lot going on without assaulting your eyeballs

lonely spidey just thinking baout the thing

had they even mentioned Jon Favreau having much of a role in this thing?

btw hey guys here's Jon Favreau, he's on the poster context-free buttoning his suit and has third billing in a Spider-Man film, because uh

huh, i hadn't even noticed him there

now that i've seen him i'm calling it: he's gonna die in this one

I mean, he's an established character, but tbrr I don't remember him even being on the poster for the last Iron Man movie.

In which he nearly died, so I can't imagine them pulling that stunt again. But who knows.

he gets a full credit even, not a "with"

how the hell is he above Marissa Tomei lol

his agent shouted louder i guess

Did something happen to the UN secretariat in one of these movies?

I'd assume launching the MCU still has some cachet with the suits.

dragged to the underworld by the mole man iirc xp

Someone on the poster committee really wanted the Washington Monument in there, even in the most awkward spot.

washington monument has a very vocal agent

Eh, stories about her own relationship with her father haven't exactly been glowing.

ha, xpost

is she the one that was accused of elder abuse?

They only had one daughter. (There were many accusations of elder abuse against a variety of parties, though.)

(One living daughter, I should clarify - another died three days after birth, so was not accused of committing elder abuse at the age of 69.)

nice

This was terrible -- depressingly terrible, i.e. hundreds of millions spent on third-rate video game effects.

And Jake wasn't nude.

Why don't you use some of those graphics to make a Jake nood video

Deepfake!

The awkward high school comedy was the best, and a couple of Jake's scenes with Hollnad (i.e. the bar scene in Italy) had real charm, but, oy, that last third.

I do not like Shouty Jake -- the Jake of Nightcrawler, although I can see the connection between the two characters: on-the-spectrum tech bro who can't handle being thwarted.

The high school comedy was much better in the first film, though. I do like that there is a real focus on high school comedy in this series, but no, this was not a good film.

Far From Home doesn’t get enough credit for the soundtrack imo.

The Official Trailer for the third of these, with everyone that we'd heard about and a few more.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYzbalQ6Lg8

They are sending Tom Holland out to fight armed with the same joke as three and a half years ago, though ("oh, we're using our made-up names?")

I truly love the sleuthing of Brazilian twitter that has convinced people characters were digitally removed from this (or a version of) the trailer to keep some surprises. And I believe it, too!

Hah. Probably true though - they do things like that all the time! Most obvious I can remember was that thing with the eye in Thor: Ragnarok's trailer, and more recently a costume change in Black Widow's trailer to not spoil a last act surprise.

pretty much everything about this movie smacks of desperation???

looks like utter trash too

This movie (or at least the trailer) does seem desperate or messy, but the last two Spider-Man movies were good fun (three, if you include the cartoon), he's been a high point of the other Marvel movies, and Marvel has yet to make a movie that felt desperate or looked like utter trash, so benefit of the doubt, I guess.

also feels like a big Tom Holland and/or Spidey send-off from the MCU, which i guess it is time for

Marvel has yet to make a movie that looked like utter trash

for as like increditerrible as the garfield movies could be they are far less anonymous than mcu spidey. far from home was dreadful, homecoming pretty much only elevated on michael keaton’s shoulders

this looks like the actual shitty version of the raimi spider-man 3. dr. strange saying “scooby-do it!” what the ever living fuck is that

lol brad i'm glad someone else had my same reaction to this trailer.

also seems reeeeeeeally similar to the premise of Into the Spider-Verse, which was pretty much a masterpiece imho. gorgeous film, incredible sense of heart, breathtaking action. they couldn't have waited a little while to reuse the premise of a multiverse of Spidey characters?

my understanding from my students' comments is that Maguire and Garfield are also in this, which is somehow both more and less desperate than bringing in the villains from the Raimi and Webb films as literal ghosts. what a weird idea. can't Spidey just save downtown Flushing from the Rhino or something? why is he so bound up with Doctor Strange, if it's not a New Defenders movie? i hate the idea that he always has to be paired with the current Senior Schmuck of the Marvel films.

seems really stupid to do the "Spider-Man unmasked" twist at the end of the last film, then have it be reversed in seemingly the first act of this one --- by Peter Parker screwing up a magic spell, apparently?! this was the same basic error made in the comics about ten years ago, when Spider-Man unmasked himself; a bunch of horrible things happened as a consequence, and he pretty swiftly struck a deal with Mephisto to change it all back, at the price of undoing his marriage (which editorial had decided made him seem too old and stuffy, apparently). this was not exactly a widely-celebrated series of developments, so it's funny that they would use it as the basis for a big giant cinematic story.

I’m excited and worried and of course I’ll see it.

Quibble with all these MCU SpiderMan movies: they’re all so … busy, somehow, almost schizophrenic. And, yes, I’ve read Spider-Man comics! I’ve seen the SR movies. But I wind up thinking, always, “I like these conceptions of the characters a lot but wish I enjoyed the movies more. Maybe it’s because they aren’t allowed to just be Spider-Man movies; they also have to be part of the ever expanding MCU puzzle.

Or: Doctor Casino OTM

Spider-Man is Rabobi

That was kind of what I liked about the second one is that it felt like it de-emphasized the larger MCU to a large extent. Obviously there was the Nick Fury and Maria Hill stuff, but really once they got the funny look at "the blip" out of the way, it was a relatively self-contained adventure until the unmasking stuff.

I did like spotting the "Blip Anxiety?" posters in the background of the SF scenes in Shang-Chi.

A thing to keep in mind is that, pre-release, a lot of people speculated a lot of things about Far From Home's plot (a movie I wasn't crazy about, fwiw) that wound up not being the case.

This does absolutely look very similar to the overstuffed Raimi Spider-Man 3, and echoes the premise of "Into the Spider-Verse," so I hope it's more than that and I guess kinda assume it is? Or maybe it sucks!

And I don't think most of the Marvel movies look particularly *good*, not at all. I just don't think they look like trash. There are movies that look like trash, like bright sitcom lighting in every scene. But the Marvel movies just look flat and 90% artificial, because they are.

Spiderverse is the best comic book movie, imo.

this movie was bad and all the ostensibly smart and capable heroes made many many very stupid decisions! and jamie foxx just seemed so bored and sad
