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

Also worth a moment to ponder if he's not a comment on "look, we'd all be batman if we were billionaires, I don't have that luxury"

XP and batman, birdman, definitely elements of joker jack in there too imo

the part of batman i was reminded of most was bruce wayne's 'you wanna get nuts? let's get nuts' line to the joker, which is so seemingly out of character for keaton's kinda nerdy, quiet wayne that it actually scared me a little when i first saw it as a kid

If I had any criticism of Keaton NB I don't and never will it's that he brings that almost zany nuts underside to just about every role I've seen him in NB again that is fine by me the world needs this

Shit I mean I bring that element to my team one on ones tbf

beetlejuice is never too far from the surface, tru

idgaf tho, i like beetlejuice

i also love the way his face has aged, it's just a real pleasure to watch him move that wrinkly mug

He has the radial, far-reaching wrinkles centred on the eye that befits a fella that has spent his professional life squinting crazily at people

Also interesting aspect of the reveal is that Keaton is not some blue collar worker struggling to feed his family, as he keeps implying, but a really well-off dude dead set on maintaining his fancy house/car lifestyle.

I took it that at the beginning, in his discussion with Damage Control, it was true that he was a blue collar guy (see comparisons with Archie's dad in the recent Riverdale series struggling to hold a construction crew together for a big job because he can't just bankroll them) and he mentions more than once how he's "over-extended" to fund the job - I guess that means he's a homeowner and has remortgaged to fund it? But since becoming a criminal he's gone for the big house etc and has stayed in crime because he likes the wealth.

speaking of ageing, i appreciated that they didn't cast marisa tomei as aunt may and then try to play down the fact that marisa tomei has apparently not aged a day in twenty years or more

She wore old lady glasses at one stage

I mean she looked like Marisa tomei in old lady glasses but I appreciated the effort

The whole "everyone loves Aunt May" subplot was also great.

i hope she gets a love interest in the shape of a hot willie lumpkin in the next movie

i just horrified myself with the phrase 'hot willie lumpkin' there, sorry to anyone similarly affected

I will lol if she starts dating Otto

Who then becomes doc otto

the story's there just waiting to be taken to the screen

This is why I don't write. It's all been done before

Way late to the party. This was a delight from beginning to end. Confidentially, Peter Parker Spider-Man is not among my favorite major Marvel characters, but this managed to distill pretty much everything great about the character. Y'all have said it all already, but Keaton was fantastic in this and that car scene is one of the best the MCU has produced. The kids were the best. I wish I'd gone to that school.

Also, how is it that 'Penis Parker' has never happened in the comics (or that I somehow missed it if it did)?

It was originally "Puny Parker" in the '60s, and it was updated for the film

this was a blast. Especially the cap post-credits scene.

lol yes

rewatching this and the little twist toward the end is still a "uhhhhh oh noooo" moment

that was to say, the whole family life reveal. it was more at the 2/3rds point and Keaton's facial expressions were killing me

Sounds like Gyllenhaal is right on the cusp of being cast as Mysterio.

keaton returning as vulture too, apparently

he’s always returning with wings

I missed the announcement that the sequel is officially Spider-Man: Far From Home. Speculate away.

Spacer-Man

I'll put a dollar on this being evidence that the next avengers movie sets up the multiverse, and that lil spider-mans gets shunted to the new one

don't know if the standalone Spider-Man movies are going to that entangled in the overall Marvel universe. It's still basically a Fox property

or Sony even

well, the animated miles morales movie is called into the spider-verse and features both peter parker and spider-gwen from alternate universes alongside miles, so...

yeah but it has nothing to do with the MCU

it's a tangled web tho!

lol wtf

Jared Leto and director Daniel Espinosa are being set by Sony for Morbius, a Spider-Man Universe spinoff based on the Marvel Comics antihero Morbius the Living Vampire. Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama, creators of Netflix’s Lost in Space, wrote the script.

https://deadline.com/2018/06/jared-leto-daniel-espinosa-team-morbius-spider-man-spinoff-sony-pictures-1202418275

the spinoff dr. morbius deserves

Please stop, Sony. Please? No one is asking for these things. You can just send me envelopes full of cash and get basically the same net return as you will from investing in worthless IP (nb: I will not be returning your cash). Nobody who knows or cares who Morbius is will want to see Jared Leto as Morbius. Fourteen movies about tertiary Spider-Man characters will not make up for you totally fumbling the opportunity to make an easy buck on the imminently-bankable starring character without another studio coming in to hold your hand. Go build yourself a Walkman, ya bums.

Why DOES Leto keep getting work

i will place good money on this never making it to production

I mean, Venom got made.

still not convinced that’s not an elaborate hoax tbh

also venom has an established fanbase (mystifyingly enough) but the potential audience for a movie about spider-man’s science-vampire frenemy seems... limited

We got sequel trailer:

Can you put "dickwad" in a movie trailer? This is all Trump's fault.

since when do trailers have cards that say "official trailer" on them

since when do trailers have cards that say "official trailer" on them

sad to say, i get it is kind of necessary now

peter lookin remarkably spry for a guy who was last seen dissolving into dust huh

Powdered Spider-Man is remarkably easy to reconstitute.

What IS the deal with that? Are we getting trailers for post Endgame MCU movies now?
