Kirsten Dunst has opened up about her iconic upside-down kiss scene in Spider-Man, saying it was a “miserable” experience.Dunst played the role of Mary Jane Watson in Sam Raimi’s trilogy of Spider-Man films that starred Tobey Maguire: Spider-Man (2002), Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Spider-Man 3 (2007).In the scene from the 2002 film Dunst is referring to, Mary Jane removes Spider-Man’s mask halfway to give him a “thank you” kiss in the pouring rain as he hangs upside down.Speaking on ITV’s Jonathan Ross Show, Dunst said: “I remember Sam Raimi giving me a book of famous kisses to be inspired, but also he really wanted to make it special, even though it was kind of miserable actually doing it. It was pouring with rain, freezing, Tobey couldn’t breathe so it was almost like I was resuscitating him.”Maguire has also spoken about the difficulty of filming the scene two years ago for the film’s 20th anniversary and said he was “practically suffocating” performing the scene.“It was really tough, actually.

Kirsten Dunst is open to potentially doing a remake of the 2000 hit film “Bring It On” — under one condition.“People want us to make another ‘Bring It On,’ too,” Dunst, 41, told GQ in its April cover story, “[but] the script would have to be really good.” “I don’t know what our positions would be or whatever,” Dunst continued. “I talked to Peyton Reed, the director, about it.”The “Civil War” actress pointed out that ” ‘Mean Girls’ got redone” and women her “age are the most powerful viewers, in a weird way.”Dunst — who went viral when she tripped at the Academy Awards while taking a picture with her husband, Jesse Plemons — lamented the fact she was never asked to help produce the cult-classic film.

Alfred Molina was first on Broadway nearly 30 years ago in “Art,” but admits he still gets butterflies when he hears the stage manager announce on a Saturday: “Ladies and Gentlemen, it’s Saturday night on Broadway!”“You kind of go, ‘F – – k! What a dream come true,” the British actor, 70, told the New York Post with a laugh during a recent interview.The Tony nominee is back in New York starring opposite Steve Carell in a Lincoln Center production of the Chekov classic, “Uncle Vanya.”And yes, he knows that there is a segment of people who immediately think of Russians ensconced in weekend dachas endlessly moaning about their existence, when they hear the name Chekov.“I would say I know what you mean,” he shared. “There is an element about that.

Prepare for “The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story,” a new Spider-Verse short, seemingly meant to fill the gap between Spider-Man animated movies. Last June, Sony Pictures Animation released the box-office smash “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” a sequel to the beloved Academy Award-winning “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.” The second film in the series earned an impressive $690.9 million at the global box office against a budget of $100-150 million, nearly an 80% increase of what its predecessor earned.

Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse losing out at the 2024 Oscars.The movie was nominated for Best Animated Feature at last Sunday’s awards, but lost to Hayao Miyazaki’s Studio Ghibli production, The Boy And The Heron.Following the ceremony, Moore, who voiced Miles Morales in the animated Marvel movies, tweeted the word “robbed”, seemingly in response to the result.*robbed— Shameik Moore (@shameikmoore) March 11, 2024After receiving backlash for the post, with some calling it “unprofessional” the 28-year-old followed up with a post which read: “Respect to the winner. It’s true, I’m definitely a sore loser, but we didn’t lose, Spider-Verse has impacted A LOT of lives.

The Spider, a fan-made “horror take on Spider-Man“.The project was written and directed by up-and-coming filmmaker Andy Chen, who goes under the alias of Locust Garden on social media. He had previously made a Shrek-inspired horror short which was released in 2022.It stars The Walking Dead‘s Chandler Riggs as Spider-Man, while the rest of the cast consists of Caylee Cowan, Matthew Vorce, Kyra Gardner, Holgie Forrester, Carl Addicott, David Rice, Andrew Hernon, Kealani Kitaura, Ronan Arthur and Ben Thomas.“I had this idea to make a horror Spider-Man fan film soon after my Shrek horror film blew up,” Chen said.

Nicolas Cage has confirmed that he’s in talks to star in the live-action Spider-Man Noir TV series.Cage, who voiced the titular character in 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, revealed in a recent interview with Collider at SXSW that he’s been having “conversation[s]” about reprising the role for the upcoming show.“Well, I can say that we have been talking,” he said. “It’s no secret that I love the character.

on the red carpet during the 2024 Oscars while attempting to pose for a picture with her husband, Jesse Plemons, on Sunday. In a video posted on X (formerly Twitter), the “Spider-Man” actress can be seen posing for various photographs before nearly crashing into a large Oscar statuette. “Oh s – – t,” the “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” star is then heard saying in the video.

Kirsten Dunst is nothing if candid and blunt. In a new Marie Claire interview profile about her new film, a political thriller, “Civil War,” but also about her life as a mom in Hollywood, Dunst’s DGAF attitude shined through.

Spider-Man films in the ’00s.The actor played Spider-Man’s love interest Mary Jane Watson opposite Tobey Maguire’s Peter Parker in three Spidey movies: Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man (2002), Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Spider-Man 3 (2007).In a new interview with Variety, Dunst has now revealed that she was routinely referred to as a “girly-girl” during the making of the films. She was 19 years old when the first film was released.“It was a joke, but on Spider-Man, they would call me ‘girly-girl’ sometimes on the walkie-talkie,” she said.

Kirsten Dunst revealed that she regrets not standing up for herself more after she was called a “girly-girl” while starring in the original three “Spider-Man” films opposite Tobey Maguire.“It was a joke, but on ‘Spider-Man,’ they would call me ‘girly-girl’ sometimes on the walkie-talkie,” Dunst, 41, told Marie Claire while promoting her upcoming flick “Civil War.” “But I never said anything … Like, don’t call me that,” she said. Prior to the rise of the #MeToo movement in 2017, Dunst explained that one of the unspoken rules in Hollywood was: “You didn’t say anything. You just took it.” The New Jersey native appeared as Mary Jane Watson — Peter Parker’s (Maguire) love interest — in the 2002 Sam Raimi-helmed film.

Following the disastrous showing of Sony‘s “Spider-Man” spin-off “Madame Web” and the huge blowback from both audiences and critics who all seemingly despised the film, Dakota Johnson says she’ll “probably will never do anything like it again,” meaning appear or star in a superhero film. In a new interview with Bustle, Johnson expressed her overall disappointment with the film but admitted she wasn’t surprised with the outcome.

according to IMDB’s Box Office Mojo.The Post called the film, which is the second of a two-part adaptation of the 1965 novel “Dune” by Frank Herbert, a “sci-fi triumph that’s better than the first.”The sequel to the 2021 original stars Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Josh Brolin and Javier Bardem in reprising roles and welcomes Christopher Walken, Austin Butler and Florence Pugh to its cast.Remaining in second was “Bob Marley: One Love,” which was released on Valentine’s Day, with earnings of $1.92 million.“Ordinary Angels” stayed in third, with a just-over-$1 million-dollar take.

according to IMDB’s Box Office Mojo.The action flick, based on a manga series, opened in theaters on Feb. 2.It managed to beat out “Bob Marley: One Love,” which moved down to second place this week with sales of $3.7 million.The biopic, based on the life of the famous Reggae singer-songwriter, has taken in over $100 million globally since its Valentine’s Day release.“Ordinary Angels,” starring Hilary Swank, landed in third with a $2.3 million-dollar take.The film, which Variety said “tugs at the heartstrings,” is based on a true story of a Kentucky hairdresser who helped a widower whose daughter needed a liver transplant during a blizzard.The suspense thriller “Madame Web,” which was in second place last week, fell to fourth, taking in $1.575 million.

Sony is really taking a beating with its Spider-Man universe of late. While the “Spider-Man” movies produced by Marvel are still gigantic mega-hits and the animated ‘Spider-Verse’ movies are critically acclaimed blockbusters (the first one won the Best Animated Feature Oscar), the rest of their SSMU (Sony’s Spider-Man Universe) woefully lags behind.

Madame Web hit cinemas around the world yesterday (February 14), but what songs are included in the latest instalment in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe? Based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name, the film stars Dakota Johnson in the lead role as a woman who develops psychic abilities. The White Lotus’ Sydney Sweeney co-stars, as do Emma Roberts and Adam Scott. Directed by S.J.

Today is Valentine’s Day, and that means only one thing— “Madame Web” is in theaters. And as the next several days play out, Sony is going to look at a couple of things.

Internet rumors and conventional pundit thinking goes a little like this: once Tom Holland is done with Marvel’s “Spider-Man” franchise, perhaps a little too old to play the convincing part of a high-schooler or college-age kid, Sony Pictures will pivot to a live-action Miles Morales who will also join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That could be the case, but it might not come for a while.

Sexy Spider-Man actor Tom Holland is definitely a household name — it’s just too bad that his paycheck for his role as the superhero/Peter Parker in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was sent to the wrong household.On Monday’s episode of “Late Night With Seth Meyers,” British actor Tom Hollander, who is known for his star turns in “Pride & Prejudice,” the “Pirates of the Caribbean” films, “The White Lotus” and “The Night Manager,” revealed the humbling moment his agency mistakenly sent him an “Avengers” bonus meant for the 27-year-old currently dating Zendaya. “I went to see my friend who was doing theater in England for 300 pounds a week, you know, but doing great work, Chekhov, and I sat smugly in the audience having just done a BBC show for 30 grand or something which was, you know, going to get me through the next year or so,” Hollander explained.

Marvel’s “Madame Web” swings into theaters Valentine’s Day, and a first look at Sydney Sweeney’s Spider-Woman costume has just been unveiled.The “Euphoria” star, 26, appears in the superheroine flick alongside “Fifty Shades of Grey” star Dakota Johnson in the role of Julia Carpenter, a.k.a. Spider-Woman.The Chinese poster for the Sony-produced film features Sweeney donning a black and gray latex suit and a mask.

Over the holidays, you probably saw Marvel Studios hype the hell out of the second season of animated hit, “What If…?” The series doesn’t necessarily qualify as “required viewing” for the MCU, but for those who just can’t get enough of the characters, it serves as an outlet to take these beloved icons and put a new spin on them. (More about that in our review.) But apparently, the real world shitshow that was going on in 2020 led to the showrunner of “What If…?” to change course a little and focus on having more fun, which meant ditching what would have been a very dark episode featuring none other than Spider-Man.

Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse is set to wrap up Sony’s acclaimed Spider-Verse trilogy.The upcoming third entry is touted as the concluding chapter following Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse and 2018’s Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, which won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature.Shameik Moore leads the film’s voice cast as Miles Morales, alongside Jake Johnson, Hailee Steinfeld, Mahershala Ali, Brian Tyree Henry, Lauren Velez, Jason Schwartzman, Issa Rae, Daniel Kaluuya and Oscar Isaac.At the time of writing (December 18), the highly-anticipated sequel is undated. The film was originally scheduled for March 29, 2024, but it was delayed due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, as the voice cast were unable to complete dialogue recording in time.Following the strike’s conclusion in November, Christopher Miller confirmed production on Beyond The Spider-Verse is underway during a post-screening Q&A in December.“We’re in production,” Miller said.

conviction Monday on charges of misdemeanor assault and harassment — and his resulting ouster by Marvel Studios — should be a wake-up call to Disney.That message from Captain Obvious? Start over completely. The need for a reboot of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been apparent for years now. Disney’s “Don’t let the door hit you on the way out” firing of Majors, who played the villainous Kang the Conqueror in the painfully stupid “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” was really just the straw that broke the Marvel’s back.

Spider-Man film, saying it would “have to be worth the while of the character”.The actor has portrayed the superhero in three standalone movies: Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) and Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021).During a recent press conference with the Critics Choice Association, Holland said he would only return to play the webslinger (aka Peter Parker) if the writers and team involved could do the character justice.“All I can say is that we have been actively engaging in conversations about what it could potentially look like for a fourth rendition of my character,” he explained (via Variety). “Whether or not we can find a way to do justice to the character is another thing.”Holland continued: “I feel very protective over Spider-Man.

Tom Hardy has confirmed filming is underway on the sequel to Venom: Let There Be Carnage.The actor shared an Instagram post from the film’s set on Saturday (November 25), where he thanked the cast and crew for their work across all three instalments.“V3N0M 3,” Hardy began the post. “The Last dance – thankfully we are back to shooting; and I want to take a moment just to thank all the teams thus far on the ride from V1 to here all our fantastic Cast and crew – good friends and family – we’ve come a long way.“It’s been and continues to be a lot of fun this journey there’s always hard turns to burn when we work but doesn’t feel as hard when you love what you do and when you know you have great material and the support at all sides, of a great team.”Hardy also gave a shout out to screenwriter and director Kelly Marcel, who previously collaborated with the actor on Bronson, Venom and 2021’s Venom Let There Be Carnage.

Rotten Tomatoes might just be able to help.The review aggregator site has compiled an extensive list of the best-ever Thanksgiving films (according to critics) – and you can find the top 20 below.The list includes everything from the Steve Martin and John Candy classic Plains, Trains And Automobiles to films that merely feature Thanksgiving scenes, such as Spider-Man and Rocky.The recently released (and aptly titled) slasher Thanksgiving also makes the list, along with Addams Family Values, Funny People, and Fantastic Mr. Fox.The list features 61 titles in total.

Sony has just released a the first trailer for a brand new superhero movie, Madame Web. Based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name, the movie stars Dakota Johnson (Fifty Shades Of Grey) and Sydney Sweeney (The White Lotus) among others.Directed by SJ Clarkson and written by Jessica Jones writer, Claire Parker, the movie centres around Cassandra Webb, portrayed by Johnson, a paramedic working in New York City.

Though many might consider David Fincher an auteur filmmaker who is probably above making superhero films, that wasn’t always the case. Early in his career, after the success of “Se7en,” it appears Fincher was brought in by Sony to pitch the studio about what his version of “Spider-Man” might look like.

Spider-Man: No Way Home is the third outing for Tom Holland’s web-slinger in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.Directed by Jon Watts, the follow-up to 2019’s Spider-Man: Far From Home sees Spidey take on, thanks to multiverse shenanigans, villains from the superhero’s past – including Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe), Doctor Octopus (Alfred Molina) and Electro (Jamie Foxx).The sequel also features notable crossovers with past Peter Parkers, namely Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire, as they join forces to restore balance across multiple realities.After dealing with the villains, one of Green Goblin’s bombs takes out the confinement box holding Doctor Strange’s (Benedict Cumberbatch) botched spell. This leads to everyone across the multiverse knowing the identity of Spider-Man.To counter the spell, Peter Parker (Holland) decides that if everyone forgets who he is, then no one will know who Spider-Man is.
