Once again Marvel's attention to the little things wins a No-Prize!!!


Spider-Man Star Confirms That Spidey Appeared In Iron Man 2

"Nice work kid!"



The relationship between Spider-Man and Iron Man--aka Peter Parker and Tony Stark--is a big part of the upcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming. But it seems that the pair actually met in an earlier Marvel movie--namely, 2010's Iron Man 2.



The scene is question occurs during the ill-fated Stark Expo, where a host of robotic Hammer Drones go on the rampage. A young boy wearing an Iron Man mask bravely confronts one of the Drones, and it has been a fan theory for some time that the boy is actually a young Peter Parker. Watch it below:







Homecoming star Tom Holland has now confirmed that this is, indeed, Peter. Holland was asked about the scene by the Huffington Post and referred to a conversation between him and Marvel boss Kevin Feige on the same subject.



"I can confirm that is Peter Parker," he said. "I can confirm that as of today. I literally had a conversation with Kevin Feige only 20 minutes ago. Maybe I've just done a big, old spoiler, but it's out there now. It's cool. I like the idea that Peter Parker has been in the universe since the beginning."



In terms of story, this makes sense--the boy would be the around the correct age for Peter at the time, and the Expo takes place in Queens, New York, where he grew up. Of course, whether this was the plan back in 2010 is another matter entirely, especially as this was several years before the deal between Marvel and Sony--who own the movie rights to Spider-Man--had been agreed.



Spider-Man: Homecoming hits theaters on July 7. We'll find out then if there's any reference to this scene in the movie. In the meantime, check out the latest trailer here.



In related news, Feige this week confirmed that the Homecoming sequel will kick off Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. "So much happens in [the third and fourth Avengers movies], as you can imagine, and so much is affected by it, that we felt what better person to hold your hand and lead you into the next incarnation of the MCU, in a grounded, realistic manner, than Peter Parker?" he said. "So, coming out two months after Untitled Avengers, [that's what] much of what the next Spider-Man film will be about."
 
Now that bitch Pascal saying that the Venom and Black Cat movies will NOT be connected to either Spider Man or the MCU.. now which is it :rolleyes:

Kevin Feige Confirms That Miles Morales Exists In The MCU

In an interview with ComicBook.com, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige and Spider-Man: Homecoming director Jon Watts spoke about the upcoming film, where Feige revealed that Miles Morales is part of the MCU. He doesn’t appear in Homecoming and he’s not mentioned by name, but he in the universe. In the film, Donald Glover plays Aaron Davis, who is Miles’ uncle in the comics. Aaron mentions his “nephew” in the film but the name “Miles” is never said. Here are highlights:

Watts on getting Donald Glover for the film: “I mean, I always wanted Donald [Glover] to be in this movie. That was one of my first ideas, just because I knew… I remember all the excitement surrounding him being Spider-Man, you know? And I was like, ‘If he’s going to be in this movie, who could he be?’ So, we’re not saying anything specifically, but Aaron Davis having a nephew in New York City… I wouldn’t say it’s a definite hint, but I think it definitely opens that door.”

Feige on the existance of Miles Morales: “He does have a nephew. He has a nephew.”

Holland on if Miles could get introduced to the MCU: “That would be something that I would be very up for doing, it’s something that I would really, really hope to happen. I think Miles Morales is a great character, I think it would be fantastic to have an actor of color playing a superhero on screen and I just think it’s going to be something very cool and something very exciting for this universe.”

Then Why isn't Venom and Blackcat in the Universe. This makes zero sense. So is Venom going to be the "Spiderman" of the Sony universe.

Marvel has plans for a very wide set of Spidey's gallery - I also think they are thinking beyond the trilogy - a decade ahead

in HomeComing they are introing characters that developed in the books to Hobgoblin, Prowler, Scorpion etc

Sony is just getting in the way- fucking shit up cause of greed - Venom Cat and Silver are way better as slowly developed characters, but Marvel can afford to ignore them because of the depth of Spidey's canon
 
Spider-Man: Homecoming Proves How Good Skipping the Origin Story Can Be

Spider-Man: Homecoming
is not your typical Marvel movie—and that’s exactly what makes it great.

Directed by relative newcomer Jon Watts, Spider-Man: Homecoming is almost goofy. It’s weird, wholesome, and there’s an almost unpolished feel to it, especially in the film’s early scenes. A lot of the movie is about kids who do a lot of dumb stuff. It all establishes a tone that instantly distinguishes Homecoming from almost all modern superhero movies.

The film’s energetic, youthful drive is due in large part by Tom Holland’s performance as Peter Parker. He’s a younger, more enthusiastic, and much more awkward version of the character than we’re used to seeing. This is a kid who has no idea what he’s doing, but he’s ambitious, brave, and full of good intentions. So even when his life takes a turn for the worst (in true Spider-Man fashion), Holland’s Parker has a certain joy and naivety.



Watts and the other five writers credited on the film build up Peter Parker in a fresh way—no small feat given this is the third Spidey since 2002. Happily, we don’t see him get bitten by the spider or Uncle Ben die. He’s already webslinging right when the movie begins, so it’s more about Peter Parker/Spider-Man growing into the hero we know and love. He makes mistakes, takes risks, gets bumps and bruises, and more. For part of the film, he’s actually a pretty bad Spider-Man. And that’s not something you see a lot of in superhero movies these days, either—a hero struggling to be heroic—which makes Homecoming even more unique.

It also helps immensely that, as the film begins, Peter Parker is coming home from the events of Captain America: Civil War to a relatively quiet home life. A life where that innocence and sense of wonder at being a superhero exists without those graver distractions that affects the other heroes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Those movies—and virtually all superhero films, really—have a distinct gravity to them, a weighty seriousness that pervades them, no matter how many one-liners get delivered. But for the most part, Spider-Man: Homecoming doesn’t have that solemnity; it’s more like an episode of Freaks and Geeks that happens to have a superhero in it.

Of course, yet another thing that helps Holland’s Spidey stand out from his spider-forebearers is that he lives in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and boy, does the film lean into that. Most of the plot is driven by MCU connections, including Peter’s role in Civil War, but also the fallout of the battles from the other movies. In fact, the film’s villain, the Vulture, played with a great mix of darkness and realness by Michael Keaton, makes his living stealing the technology from the bad guys of the other movies. Every time the Vulture and his gang are on-screen, Homecoming feels like a completely different, much grimmer movie, wholly separate from Peter Parker’s story.


That disconnect is slightly jarring at first, but the film slowly, surreptitiously builds up to an end that is anything but goofy or frivolous. The two stories slowly come together, and the film’s early, intentional awkwardness transitions into its serious, high-stakes finale perfectly. It’s like putting in the final piece of a puzzle. Suddenly all that gee-whiz innocence and frivolous humor comes into crystal-clear focus, as Peter discovers that being Spider-Man isn’t just for fun; he really has a great responsibility, and there are real-life consequences if he fails. And the film progresses from there magnificently.

Spider-Man: Homecoming is a movie that not only grows on you, it practically grows up in front of you. Watching a superhero movie on this scale that’s about a teenage kid at first feels odd, because it’s so unusual. But for everything Marvel Studios’ first Spider-Man movie accomplishes, including that distinction, it deserves to be discussed among the better films in the MCU.

Exactly... like you can't just drop in Venom and Black cat without a set up. Venom is a great character but he is only a great character because of the symbiote's obsession over peter Parker for being rejected and Eddie Brock's anger at Parker for getting everything easily. Those two qualities make venom standout and it makes his transformation into an anti-hero feel real. You take away the Spider-Man connection and venom is nothing more then an angry power ranger. Just a regular guy in an alien suit.

Same thing for Blackcat... take away Spider-Man, kingpin and the super solider serum and she is nothing more then Catwoman.

I think Sony see's that Homecoming is gonna be a hit and now they are jumping the ship. Homecoming is Marvel's version of Spider-Man, not the bullshit that Sony has done. Like Fonzerillii said how you gonna do Venom without Spider-Man, makes no sense. Blackcat is a character that no one knows about unless you read the comics or watched the 90's animated series. She isn't a character that can carry a whole movie on her own if you don't have Peter Parker\Spider-Man.
 
I smell another bomb. Wasn't the first FF kinda kid friendly and that didn't help just give up Fox
not like this - they plan on focusing on Franklin and his sister with Johnny Storm as uncle babysitter mentor
if done right it could be really good
I don't know why Marvel isn't looking at Power Pack like this
