Into the Spider-Verse Sequels Suffer Major Delays

Image
Outside of the MCU, Sony Pictures is looking to expand mightily with its cache of Spider-Man-centric movies. One of the most successful in this endeavor was 2018's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse , the adventure starring Miles Morales that became one of the best animated films ever made. Now, all eyes are looking forward to the long-awaited sequel, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse . The first trailer for this sequel premiered in December 2021 as fans got a look into how Miles would reunite with Hailee Steinfeld's Gwen Stacy and explore the Multiverse more fully. Throw in an eventual battle with Oscar Isaac's Spider-Man 2099 after his live-action Marvel debut in Moon Knight, and Sony has one thrilling web-slinging adventure on its sticky hands. ADVERTISEMENT Nearly four years after the first movie made its impressive mark on the Spidey legacy, Across the Spider-Verse was initially set to release in October, leaving only 6 months until th...

Morbius Star Confident About Sequels Despite Poor Reviews

Image
While Tom Holland's Spider-Man enjoys synergetic success with both Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures, the latter has been developing its own exclusive cinematic universe. Centered around Tom Hardy's Venom, Sony's interconnected world has utilized rogues from Peter Parker's comic gallery, despite the wall-crawler being nowhere to be seen. With two  Venom  films already under its belt, Sony expands its universe with Jared Leto's  Morbius . The Living Vampire's road to April 1 has been paved by unfortunate circumstances.  Morbius  wrapped filming nearly three years ago, but COVID-19 shelved its initial July 2020 release. The film would be delayed a total of six times before cementing its April Fools release date. ADVERTISEMENT Unfortunately, the bad news doesn't end there. Early screenings for  Morbius  left fans disappointed, with some calling the picture  "as bad as you were expecting."  Director Daniel Espinosa would...

Image
Following director Taika Waititi's successful run on 2017's Thor: Ragnarok , the director reunited with Marvel Studios for a second round of storytelling in Thor: Love and Thunder . The sequel is already being teased as Ragnarok Part 2, allowing Waititi to go as wild as he wants with the God of Thunder.

Waititi has opened up recently about his experience making Thor: Love and Thunder , even about how he joined forces with Marvel in the first place. While lying may not work in most situations, he displayed confidence in himself for the team behind the MCU, and it's worked to his benefit for the last five years. ADVERTISEMENT Becoming the latest MCU director to earn a sequel, Waititi looks to continue what he established in Ragnarok as Thor's story moves to new places after Avengers: Endgame . In a recent intervie...

Captain Marvel Star Teases the Sequel's Crazy Plot

Image
The first Captain Marvel film wasn’t well-received by many critics and fans, as many thought the film uneven, the villain weak, and the whole product a mediocre affair. Given the circumstances in which Brie Larson’s hero was introduced, it’s not much of a surprise that this was the response her outing received. But now, that’s all out of the way. The character is here, and her future endeavors aren’t jampacked between two of the biggest films of all time. Now is Carol Danvers’ time to shine. Her next adventure will be in The Marvels , which premieres on February 17, 2023. This time, she’ll have some friends; along for the ride are Teyonah Parris’ Monica Rambeau  from  WandaVision  and Iman Vellani’s Ms. Marvel from her own upcoming solo series. ADVERTISEMENT When it comes to what the trio are actually up against, well, that’s fairly unknown at this point. Leaks are nearly nonexistent; clearly, it’s a tighter ship than Spider-Man: No Way Home . During an...

Doctor Strange 2 Director Voices Uncertainty About Sequel's Final Cut

Image
So far, Phase 4 of the MCU has brought in new heroes and new threats while addressing the state of society post-blip; but of all these new faces and focuses, the Multiverse appears to be the driving force behind the new narrative. Following  Loki and What If...? on Disney+, Marvel cracked open the Multiversal door in Spider-Man: No Way Home ; but come May 6, 2022, Doctor Strange 2 is expected to dive in headfirst. Naturally, with a title like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness , anything can happen; and apparently, the same rule applies to the film's production.  ADVERTISEMENT In addition to director Scott Derrickson being swapped for Spider-Man director Sam Raimi, the Benedict Cumberbatch sequel also faced pandemic-related scheduling woes followed by extensive reshoots in November of 2021. Of course, this led to rumors about the state of the film and whether additional characters have been added to the film due to the blockbuster succes...

10 Things We Need to See In Spider-Man 4, 5 & 6 Sequels

Image
Spider-Man: No Way Home  brought together three generations of moviegoers for an  Avengers -level cinematic event that also marked the dramatic end of the  Homecoming  trilogy. However, the record-breaking release is far from the end for the MCU's Spider-Man as a second trilogy - starring Tom Holland in the titular role - is seemingly in the works. After three films, Tom Holland's Spider-Man has already gone toe-to-toe with the Vulture, taken on Mysterio's illusion in a globe-trotting adventure, had his identity exposed to the world, and most recently fought five villains from across the Multiverse. ADVERTISEMENT With the ending of  No Way Home , Peter Parker was given a fresh start on life and a new red-and-blue Spider-Man suit with it. Going forward, the doors are open to any number of possibilities going into the wall-crawler's second MCU trilogy. While Marvel Studios and Sony have kept quiet about any future plans, producer Amy Pascal i...
