Fans Blast Tom Holland’s Spider-Man For Running Away From A Fight

The marketing campaign for Spider-Man: No Way Home cranked up a notch yesterday, with a brand new still from the movie arriving online, which shows Tom Holland’s Peter Parker running for his life as Alfred Molina’s Doctor Octopus lurks in the background.

While it’s perfectly understandable for a high school kid to run for his life when a tentacled villain from an alternate reality shows up and decides to start wreaking havoc on New York City, a lot of fans aren’t having it. As you can see from the reactions below, social media was having a field day blasting the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Peter Parker for favoring flight over fight.

Blade: The Series Star Offers Advice To Mahershala Ali

When you think of Blade in live-action, Wesley Snipes is always the first thing that pops into your head after he headlined the successful original trilogy that allowed him to display his incredible martial arts skills in a trio of action-packed and stylish comic book adaptations.

Spare a thought for poor Kirk Jones, then, better known by his stage name Sticky Fingaz. The rapper and occasional actor landed what he must have imagined was his breakout onscreen role when he was tapped to star in Blade: The Series, which debuted in June of 2006 and became the most-watched original premiere in Spike TV history.

The Batman Is Reportedly One Of The Cheapest DC Movies In Decades

Comic book adaptations generally don’t come cheap when spectacle is a requisite part of the genre, but throwing a ton of money at any given project is far from a guarantee of quality.

Warner Bros. plowed $300 million into the theatrical edition of Justice League, which was panned by critics and didn’t turn a penny of profit, while Joker made over a billion dollars against production costs of $55 million before finding plenty of awards season glory, even though Warner Bros. didn’t really want to make it in the first place.

A Forgotten Angelina Jolie Movie Is Blowing Up On Netflix

Angelina Jolie was only 24 years old when she won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in Girl, Interrupted, which took the young star’s career to an entirely new level. She’d been working solidly for almost a decade prior to that, but plenty of brand new doors in Hollywood open up once you’ve got an Oscar to your name.

It didn’t take long before she became one of the biggest stars in the business, proving herself just as capable at headlining prestige dramas as she was kicking ass in the action genre, but plenty of movies from her back catalogue have long since been forgotten.

Denis Villenueve Promises More Action In Dune: Part Two

Denis Villenueve’s Dune is on track to top the domestic box office this weekend, setting multiple records for an HBO Max hybrid release in the process, so the chances are increasingly high that the Academy Award-nominated filmmaker will be granted the opportunity to craft the second half of the story.

His paymasters at WarnerMedia have already been teasing that a green light is imminent, which is just as well, because fans would have been furious had the sprawling sci-fi epic ended on such a bum note. That’s not to say that Dune isn’t a great movie, because it’s frequently jaw-dropping, but it’s very much half of a whole that deliberately ends without any form of narrative resolution.

Kevin Feige Says Alfred Molina Is The Perfect Doctor Octopus

Up until Spider-Man: No Way Home, the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s web-slinging franchise had made a conscious decision to introduce villains that had never been seen in live-action before, and it worked out a treat for all involved.

Michael Keaton’s Vulture and Jake Gyllenhaal’s Mysterio allowed two phenomenal actors to put their own stamp on a character that hadn’t been done on the big screen, but the trilogy-closing chapter is poised to return to the well in the most epic fashion imaginable.

Netflix’s Don’t Look Up Will Reportedly Be A Major Awards Season Contender

Adam McKay may have shot to prominence as the director of broad, raucous Will Ferrell comedies like Anchorman and Step Brothers, but he’s now established himself as an expert at crafting star-studded social satire mixed with prestige drama.

His last two movies The Big Short and Vice landed a combined total of thirteen Academy Award nominations, with McKay landing a Best Adapted Screenplay win for the former in among five personal nods for writing, directing and producing. According to the latest reports, Netflix’s Don’t Look Up is poised to follow a very similar path.

Marvel May Have Moved Blade To Accommodate Spider-Man/Venom Crossover

There was dismay earlier this week when the Marvel Cinematic Universe reshuffled its Phase Four deck yet again, with every upcoming movie pushed back by at least a couple of months bar James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

Sony then swooped in to claim a couple of dates for its own Marvel universe, but The Cosmic Circus has noticed something interesting in among the domino effect. The MCU had a film set to hit theaters on October 6, 2023 that was removed from the calendar altogether, which many thought would eventually be awarded to the Blade reboot.

A Failed Blockbuster Reboot Is Finding New Life On Netflix

If it wasn’t for John Krasinski, then the Jack Ryan brand may well have been consigned to the history books by now. Amazon’s popular series was recently renewed for a fourth season long before the third has even been awarded a premiere date, giving the former Office alum the distinction of being the longest-tenured version of the character yet.

One of the major debates surrounding the franchise’s legacy is who made the best version of the title hero; while a lot of people would agree that Harrison Ford was the most well-rounded iteration of Tom Clancy’s creation, Alec Baldwin’s The Hunt for Red October arguably remains the finest installment in terms of overall quality.

New Theory Says She-Hulk Could Lead To World War Hulk And Wolverine

A few days ago, it was rumored that the Marvel Cinematic Universe was developing a World War Hulk movie, which was set to start production as soon as next year. Of course, it remains unofficial and unconfirmed at this point, while we don’t know for sure if Universal have even ceded the character’s solo rights to Kevin Feige’s outfit.

We’ve also been inundated with speculation dating back years that Hulk vs. Wolverine was on the cards, but that’s never evolved beyond hearsay, either. However, a new theory from ComicBook outlines how upcoming Disney Plus series She-Hulk could get the ball rolling without having to deviate from the MCU’s official mythology.

The Batman Director Teases The Movie’s Epic Score

Danny Elfman and Hans Zimmer both did incredible work during their respective stints working on the franchise, but based on what we heard during last weekend’s DC FanDome trailer, Michael Giacchino’s score for The Batman stands a real chance of being the best orchestral accompaniment the Dark Knight has ever had.

Academy Award winner Giacchino is one of the most in-demand composers in the business, but he’ll always find the time for his close friend and longtime collaborator Matt Reeves, who he previously worked with on Cloverfield, Let Me In, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and War for the Planet of the Apes.
