Also given her work on Booksmart I can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t want to see Wilde work in the Spider-Verse world.
I’m just more of a fan of live action work opposed to animated, especially when it comes to superheroes
@Anthony_, you only hope it’s an animated Spider-Gwen film ‘cause you like Olivia Wilde & don’t wanna admit there could be a Sony Marvel film outside of either the MCU or animation that you could like, lol. There was a previously announced Spider-Women spinoff of Spider-Verse, so if this were that, I imagine the announcement would be “Olivia Wilde signs onto Spider-Women spinoff.” Plus, the Spider-Verse films have mostly creatives with past animation experience. And, this project lists Rachel O’Connor (Homecoming; Far From Home) as a producer, & doesn’t yet mention Lord & Miller. (And, online scoop people on the more accurate end of the spectrum have mostly talked about this as Jessica Drew, though that always comes with a decent sized grain of salt.)
Well to be fair, there hasn't been a good one since Spider-Man 2 and that streak looks to continue hard with Morbius, which aside from starring a predator just looks generally awful. Hopefully Venom 2 is good though.
[insert rehashed "Venom is better than Far From Home" argument here] Morbius really feels like the product of a studio that didn't yet know Venom had been partially turned into a comedy. Which, looking back, the initial script was written, & the director & star signed, before Venom came out, so that makes sense (even though they shot it in 2019). Signing Olivia Wilde & one of her Booksmart writers feels like the studio getting what most people liked best about Venom & the Spider-Man films.
Far From Home might be my least liked phase 3 film. At least Captain Marvel has the 90s and Ant-Man and the Wasp has the father/daughter dynamic.
phase 3 ranking: - endgame - infinity war - thor ragnarok - civil war - far from home - black panther - homecoming - doctor strange - guardians vol 2 - captain marvel - ant-man & wasp
hahaha i'm almost positive my personal standing for it will increase given time. almost everyone i know likes it more than the first now
Endgame GOTG 2 Ragnorak Civil War Homecoming Black Panther Strange Ant-Man and the Wasp Captain Marvel Far From Home I honestly can’t rank Infinity War. It doesn’t leave me with a lot to think about (other than the fight on Titan), but it’s more fun than half of phase 3.
Well, this sucks. Now we won’t get Kraven in the MCU. No clue who the big bad is in SM3. ‘Kraven The Hunter’: J.C. Chandor To Direct Sony’s Marvel Movie – Deadline
I mean, he could still be the villain of the next Spider-Man film. Sony's got enough in the works right now that, one, they won't necessarily all happen, & two, this one could come a few years after that movie. It's worth noting that the writer who was developing the Kraven script mentioned "Kraven's Last Hunt" as an influence & claimed (before the confirmation that the SUMC & the MCU could overlap) Spidey would be in the film. So, maybe they'll have a more traditional Kraven in that Spider-Man film, let him survive, & then use a non-Marvel Studios film to tell a darker "Kraven's Last Hunt" type story where Kraven is the protagonist. Just as long as this doesn't supercede Olivia Wilde's project, which is the first one I wanna see after the three(!) scheduled for next year.
imo i could see any of these rhino electro green goblin mr negative sandman doc oct hammerhead or lizard unless its one of the other who are not as big of a name
Or, again, it could still be Kraven. Since, y'know, we've already seen that the Marvel Studios Vulture shows up (however briefly it may be) in Sony's Morbius. Would say he's still the most likely option. Could also see Chameleon being part of the story... which, he's Kraven's half brother, so maybe it's both of 'em. I think I've mentioned this somewhere in these forums in the past year, but what I'd love to see, which they totally won't do, is essentially have J. Jonah Jameson as the villain. Like, have the main super villain be Scorpion, & have Spider Slayers in the mix, too, but make Jameson the man behind them because he hates Spider-Man, like in the old Steve Ditko comics. Then, redeem Jameson in the third act in a conversation inspired by Chip Zdarsky's run. After Keaton & Gyllenhaal, they're not gonna pass on casting another big actor as a big bad, but if they were willing, how cool would that be?
