Sam Raimi Is Open To The Idea Of More ‘Spider-Man’ Movies With Tobey Maguire

$1.9 billion box office hit in the midst of record COVID-19 infection rates, it was fitting that Sony Pictures was the first studio to make its presentation at CinemaCon 2022 as Chairman/CEO Tom Rothman and his team took a victory lap after a successful winter led by “Spider-Man: No Way Home.”“What are you guys doing here? Don’t you know you’re dead? Not only merely dead but most sincerely dead?” joked Rothman to the CinemaCon attendees as he touted the $3.3 billion that Sony films have grossed at the worldwide box office.Along with the runaway success of “No Way Home,” Sony also released another Marvel hit with “Venom: Let There Be Carnage,” which reached $500 million worldwide without the aid of China, while “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” and “Uncharted” also found solid success with domestic audiences. The numbers vindicate Rothman and Sony motion picture group president Josh Greenstein’s pledge at last year’s CinemaCon to commit to theatrical releasing and to be a key part of the pandemic box office rebuilding process.

change was captured in a viral clip on Twitter — captioned “THEY REMOVED PETER PARKER’S HOMOPHOBIA” — and viewers praised the cut of the script’s line.THEY REMOVED PETER PARKER'S HOMOPHOBIA pic.twitter.com/QmbFabVpc7One person did their own dub to change the line, writing, “Why cut the joke out entirely? Why not try to change it somehow? I threw this together pretty quick, changes it from homophobic joke to classic ‘your mom’ joke.”“I am glad they changed it. BUT they could have at least changed the line to “did your MOM pick it out for you,” someone suggested, while another noted, “When the punchline is gay marriage it’s not really a good punchline.”“British TV network ITV removed the vaguely homophobic line Spider-Man says to Bonesaw in the first Raimi film,” one more added.

Spider-Man: No Way Home scores a fifth consecutive week at Number 1 on the Official Film Chart.

“Spider-Man: No Way Home” nearly 300 times? That’s what MCU diehard Ramiro Alanis did to set a Guinness world record for the most in-theater viewings of the same film. Alanis had previously set the record in 2019 by watching “Avengers: Endgame” in theaters 191 times, but had his record broken last year by Arnaud Klein, a superfan of the French fantasy series “Kaamelott” who watched the show’s film adaptation “Kaamelott: The First Chapter” 204 times.

Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire are hanging out!

Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire continue to surprise fans with their bromance, especially those of the “Spider-Man” multi-verse. After all, they both share the honourable experience of previously portraying the iconic superhero.

Tom Hardy‘s “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” first linked the Sony-made spinoff to the Tom Holland films with a post-credit scene and was further linked in “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” It looks like in an alternate universe that connection might have been stronger in the billon-dollar hit. ‘No Way Home’ co-writer Chris McKenna is detailing the bigger role Hardy’s Venom would have had if two other scenes hadn’t been scrapped from the final version of the superhero sequel.

It’s a full month at Number 1 on the Official Film Chart for Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Spider-Man.The actor said in a recent interview that, while he reckons he would suit the role, the moment has probably passed now.When asked by Insider if he was interested in doing superhero movies, Radcliffe said that he’s “not rushing to”.“Like everything, if it was cool and weird and different and had something that I really loved about it, then absolutely, I would do that,” he told the publication on Saturday (April 2) ahead the SXSW Film Festival premiere of his new film The Lost City.“The one I would be a natural fit for has now been done by three very good actors,” Radcliffe added. “Tom Holland is incredible and no one could ever replace him, so I’ll let that one go.”Despite not naming the Marvel character, Radcliffe was referring to Spider-Man and the fact that Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield and Holland have all played the superhero.Maguire played the role in Spider-Man (2002), Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Spider-Man 3 (2007).

“Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” and in an interview with Fandango, Raimi was asked about the chances of him making another “Spider-Man” movie with Maguire.“I’ve come to realize after making ‘Doctor Strange’ that anything is possible, really anything in the Marvel universe, any team-ups,” Raimi said. “I love Tobey. I love Kirsten Dunst.

Spider-Man: No Way Home claims a third week as the UK’s Number 1 film, holding strong on digital downloads only ahead of its release on disc.

Spider Man: No Way Home star Jacob Batalon has opened up about spotlighting the experience of “being someone who’s not conventionally beautiful” in his upcoming Syfy series Reginald the Vampire. 

Deadline notes, the action-packed filmhas dethroned from its spot as the third highest-grossing movie in history. Starring Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Marisa Tomei, Jamie Foxx, Alfred Molina, and Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange, is available for pre-order now on Amazon Prime Video and Vudu. The digital copy comes loaded with a ton of special features.

New Release WallIt’s possible that “Spider-Man: No Way Home” (Sony Pictures Home Entertainment) might have somehow been an even bigger box-office sensation had it not been released during a global pandemic, but all things considered, it still did pretty well for itself. Monetary success aside, this is a rousing and thrilling superhero tale that manages to feel self-contained as it compulsorily sets the stage for a whole bunch of upcoming MCU plot twists.

After multiple delays, Sony Pictures’ “Spider-Man” spin-off “Morbius” was finally released over the weekend. The third installment in Sony’s cinematic Spiderverse, which also includes the two “Venom” movies starring Tom Hardy, the studio has long teased a hard connection to the main Marvel Cinematic Universe.

K.J. Yossman Jacob Batalon is best known as Spidey’s BFF Ned Leeds in the box office-smashing “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” but he’s exploring his undead side in upcoming Syfy comedy drama “Reginald the Vampire.” In the series, based on Johnny B. Truant’s “Fat Vampire” novels, Batalon plays a recently turned vampire, Reginald, who finds he still has mostly the same problems as his living counterparts: an evil boss, unrequited love and a vampire chieftain out to get him.

Oh what a tangled web we weave when the multiverse becomes part of Spider-Man canon. The Spider-Man film franchise started simply enough, with 2002’s “Spider-Man.” Fast forward 20 years and three different actors have played live-action versions of the Wall Crawler, with the trio joining forces in 2021’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” The most recent Spidey flick wasn’t just a fun family reunion.

Spider-Man: No Way Home holds strong at Number 1 on digital downloads only, despite strong competition from sci-fi sequel, The Matrix Resurrections.

National CineMedia told advertisers today that it can help them reach “the unreachables,” aka 18-to-34-year-olds who are drawn more to movies than to linear TV.
