Far From Home Spider-Man: Far From Home General Discussion and Speculation - Part 2

[Boom]

LOL You guys think he just randomly went hiking with RDJ now of all times? They are definitely at the very least making a statement with this.

I do, and they're not.

Way to make me think a deal’s been reached for a second...

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Even if a deal can't get done and Sony moves on with Spider-Man 3 with Holland, there's always the chance in the future that if Sony gets bought and the rights revert back to Marvel, they could say that the 3rd film is from a branched timeline from Endgame. Dr. Strange's movie is also exploring the Multiverse. I think there are plenty of options for the future.

I also thought about the opening to Spider-Man 3 would be him battling Dr. Johnathan Ohnn AKA The Spot who creates a dimensional portal and sends Peter to an alternate world where the Venomverse is. This way if you're a fan of Holland's Spider-Man and Tom Hardy's Venom, then you could see a continuation of that story and place it in the MCU. If you're not a fan of Sony tackling the movie on it's own, then you can leave his exit from the MCU open ended.

Thoughts?

 

[MahvelBaby!]

Anything involving that venom is a pass from me but it does give me an out so sure.

‘Spider-Man’ Skirmish Sony & Disney tug of war over Helmer Jon Watts – Deadline

I’m told that Watts was only bound to the Spidey franchise as director for those two pictures and that it’s no certainty he will be back to direct Tom Holland in the third installment being written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. They wrote the record breaker Spider-Man: Far From Home.

I’m told he’s being courted by Marvel. It is understandable that Marvel and Feige would want to keep things going with Watts: Feige has a strong track record of helping to change the career trajectory of filmmakers who wouldn’t have been automatic choices for mega-budget superhero films, from Joe & Anthony Russo to Taika Waititi, James Gunn and Scott Derrickson. As for one-upsmanship, there are bruised feelings between those studios over the Rashomon-like press narratives that followed Deadline’s scoop, over who did what in dismantling a brilliantly orchestrated introduction of a hit superhero franchise. It has gotten so bad that some wonder if it would even be possible for them to rethink things and come to terms on Spider-Man.

 

[Boom]

Yeah, this is done unless it somehow gets escalated up to the CEOs.

 

[Schlosser85]

Petty idiots.

 

[Yellow Cyclone]

i saw a post somewhere, possibly reddit, that if iger really wanted to go nuclear he'd yank the spidey rights from insomniac so they couldn't make a sequel to their ps4 game, and since sony just bought insomniac (to setup their ps5 generation) and their video game division is one of their few profitable divisions it'd certainly get sony ceo's attention as the film division would be negatively impacting other divisions in the company.

doubt it'd happen and hope a deal gets done but it really does seem like there is some bad blood between rothman and feige, possibly leftover from the original x-men trilogy days

'Spider-Man: Far From Home' Writers to Return for Sony Sequel Starring Tom Holland

 

[Schlosser85]

Well that’s something I guess. Though FFH had a bunch of flaws mixed in with the good stuff.

seriously

social media game is so important these days, RDJ isn't stupid and neither is holland. at the very least this is a sign of solidarity

all the bts stuff from civil war/iw, rdj kept pushing and pushing holland in scenes because he knew he could reach the emotional level required. i don't understand how anybody can look at this and view it as "coincidental"

So Dealine’s update says that Disney initially offered Sony 25%, but Sony sat on it for a half year.

Now if you connect that with the earlier Variety report, it sounds like Sony is regretting not taking that deal. Idiots.

Two guys go on a hike during a particularly nice day in Los Angeles and the Internet loses it's collective mind.

[Nardz937]

I'd campaign for the Spider-Verse or Insomniac writers to write the next movie.

 

[Schlosser85]

It’s being written by the same writers as Far From Home.

 

[I Am The Knight]

I think the next film should have a new director. Even if they renew the deal. But then again the same writers are already returning...

Yeah it is pretty funny its just two friends hanging out and having a fun time with eatch other.

Calm down. It's only a joke.

What did I say that wasn't clam sounding there?

Why are they idiots for not going for a deal they don't want?

More that you were taking the post seriously. Just letting you know it wasn't s serious point.

You kind of buried an important bit of information there.

Really stupid of Sony not to take that deal. Smh.

 

[Webfoot Hero]

Really stupid of Sony not to take that deal. Smh.

And then other articles have quotes from Sony sources saying they offered 25% and Disney walked away. I believe we're not getting accurate information about who was proposing what and who turned away which deal. There's likely multiple issues at hand (financing, profit sharing, potentially streaming rights, producer credit) that aren't being accurately reported due to the spin from the PR people, mainly on Sony's end.

 

[Jordanstine]

Why are Sony idiots for not going for a deal they don't want?

Because they now want that deal back on the table.
