In the comics, Flash Thompson was always a hulking bully who terrorized Peter Parker in high school. So when Marvel cast the scrawny Tony Revolori in the role, many people began to scratch their heads. I don’t mean scrawny in a negative way, but he’s nowhere near as large as the character who will eventually become Agent Venom. Continue reading

Mary Jane Watson VS. Lois Lane!
For this “Versus” round up, it’s not really a sidekick match, but in a way it is. “Behind every good man is a good woman!” The women that love the heroes we love so much!
Back when we had our “Versus” match-up between Lana Lang and Gwen Stacy, one voter commented that he preferred Lois Lane and MJ. Never to turn down a request, we waited for the release of the much anticipated Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice movie so that the two iconic battles would coincide with one another.
So we present to you the women behind the heroes match up! We have Marvel’s web crawling Spider-Man’s one and only Mary Jane! And then we have DC’s Boy Scout’s, (Superman), Lois Lane! Whom do you think is the strongest to survive a battle between these two women? Here is a little history between the two, and in the end we will let you decide! So make sure you vote at the poll below. Continue reading
SINISTER SIX Movie Could Still Happen If Marvel Wants It To
When Marvel and Sony teamed up to reboot Spider-Man and introduce the superhero into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, fans were excited as hell! Of course, in the process some things were sacrificed like the Sinister Six movie that Drew Goddard (Cabin in the Woods) was developing. I was more excited about that project than anything else Sony was working on before Marvel came into the picture.
In a recent interview with io9, Goddard opened up about his original vision of the film, explaining that it would have been standalone Spider-Man movie set in the world of The Amazing Spider-Man, and it would have featured the return of Andrew Garfield as the web-slinger. Continue reading

Marvel’s Spider-Man Solo Film Might be Called SPIDER-MAN: THE NEW AVENGER
When it was reported that writer and director Drew Goddard would be developing the solo Spider-Man movie for Marvel and Sony, there was talk of the film being called Spectacular Spider-Man. Now it seems things may have changed. According to ex-Latino Review journalist, Umberto Gonzales, the working title of the film will be Spider-Man: The New Avenger. This is an unconfirmed rumor at the moment, but here’s what he’s reporting: Continue reading

New Spider-Man Will Reportedly Not Be White
Fans are on edge wondering who Marvel and Sony will cast as the new Spider-Man in the shared universe that will begin with Captain America: Civil War.

Sony Pictures Teases SINISTER SIX Film
It’s been a mess over at Sony Pictures for the last few months, and know one knows exactly what the hell they plan on doing with their Spider-Man franchise. The future of the superhero is up in the air, but it looks like they still plan on moving forward with that Sinister Six spin-off film, which is being developed by Drew Goddard (The Cabin in the Woods). The studio recently posted this image teasing Sinister Six on their official International Facebook page:
The English translation of the text in the image (thanks to ComicBook.com) is, “We have plans for you … #Spider-Man.” I’m not sure why they would post this if they weren’t still planning on making the movie. Last year, Sony gave Sinister Six a release date of November 11th, 2016. I wonder if they still plan on trying to get the movie done by then.
I’m a fan of Goddard’s work, and I’d like to think that he could pull off an awesome Sinister Six film. It really could be good if the studio executives don’t try to screw it up with their terrible ideas of what they think a good super villain movie should be.
The Vulture and Doctor Octopus are the only two characters represented in the image, and as you know they were also teased at the end of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, which also included Electro, Rhino, and the Goblin. Now, I assume since they “have plans” for Spider-Man, that the web-slinger will also be in the movie. As I’ve said before, it would be hard to make a movie with a bunch of Spider-Man villains without Spider-Man. It’s just not sounding like Andrew Garfield will be involved this time around.
I do have another theory about what this might mean. Maybe this is for the previously announced Amazing Spider-Man 3, and instead of crowding a movie with six villains, they are only going to focus on Vulture and Doc Ock as the main antagonists. That kind of contradicts everything that we’ve heard surrounding the superhero up until this point, though.
What are your thoughts on what the image means? Honestly with all the stuff going down with sony and spider-man unofficially joining the mcu project i thought this movie was scrapped!
