In some shocking news, we learned today that beloved 80s star Rick Moranis was the victim of a random attack while out for a walk in New York’s Upper West Side. The incident, which took place on Thursday, saw the Ghostbusters actor on the receiving end of an unprovoked assault by an unknown assailant who punched him in the head. Thankfully, Moranis appears to have made a full recovery and is back on his feet.
His reps issued a statement to Deadline today to offer an update, saying that Moranis is “fine but grateful for everyone’s thoughts and well wishes.” Though the incident itself is saddening, it’s heartening that the internet has been full of kindness towards the Spaceballs star, showing just how popular he still is, despite retiring from high-profile roles back in the 90s to focus on his family.
Due to his retirement, then, Moranis doesn’t tend to be in the news much these days, but actually, he’s already grabbed headlines twice this year. And fortunately, both times were for much more positive reasons.
For one, last month he featured in a hilarious ad with Ryan Reynolds for the Deadpool star’s Mint Mobile network. Reynolds has since jokingly apologized for subjecting his friend to 2020.
Meanwhile, back in February, it was confirmed that Moranis would be making a big comeback in Disney Plus’ upcoming Shrunk, a relaunch of the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids franchise. The star will be reprising his classic role as Wayne Szalinski, opposite Josh Gad as Wayne’s now grown-up son Nick, who’s followed in his inventor dad’s footsteps.
The NYPD are currently searching for Rick Moranis‘ attacker and anyone with information about the incident should call the department’s Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477), or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). Tips can also be submitted via their website or Twitter account, @NYPDTips. And, of course, all calls are kept confidential.
Tom Holland is apparently suiting up as the web-slinger again this very fall.
Yesterday, the internet was stunned to learn the news that Jamie Foxx is in talks to return as Electro in Spider-Man 3, following on from his turn as the supervillain in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 – which is part of a totally different continuity. There’s another huge bit of news that came with this story that’s been mostly overlooked, though.
As part of their exclusive on the Foxx scoop, The Hollywood Reporter noted that the threequel – set to be directed once again by Jon Watts – is due to go before cameras in Atlanta sometime this fall. Previously, there had been talk that filming on Spider-Man 3 was being pushed back into early 2021 to accommodate Holland’s commitments to his other upcoming project, Sony’s Uncharted movie. Apparently, though, that’s not the case.
Of course, Spidey 3 is one of the countless big budget pics that’s been pushed back on the schedule because of the pandemic. In keeping with Homecoming and Far From Home, it was supposed to come out next summer, but it’s been delayed until December 2021, a unique release slot for a Spider-Man flick. That will make it the fourth MCU film we’re getting next year, which will be nice after the total drought we’ve had to endure in 2020.
So far, we know that Holland will be joined by the franchise’s regular supporting cast – that’s Zendaya as Peter Parker’s girlfriend M.J., Jacob Batalon as best friend Ned, Marisa Tomei as Aunt May and Tony Revolori as rival Flash Thompson. It’s currently unclear whether Foxx’s Electro will be the primary villain or just a supporting one, but seeing him show up will be exciting regardless.
Spider-Man 3 is due out just in time for Christmas, on December 17th, 2021. And if filming is starting this fall, we should get more news on it very shortly.
