We’ve known for a couple of weeks now that Sony was tentatively planning both a sequel to their new animated (commercial and critical) hit Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and a spin-off involving three female web-slingers, but now we know more. In an interview with Amy Pascal (via ComicFade), Vanity Fair got some further deets on the next spider-toons, spider-toons, we thought we might never see in many blue moons. Most significantly, their deal for animated Spider-Man movies has no restrictions in the same way their live-action deal with Marvel Studios does. She won’t say what the latter are, but it is revealed that Marvel’s Kevin Feige wasn’t too happy about the timing of a sequel being announced before Peter Parker gets un-snapped.

The direct Spider-Verse sequel will feature a Miles Morales-Gwen Stacy romance (held off because they wanted to establish her as a hero first, love-interest second), though crucially, Pascal never specifically says whether or not it’s the same Gwen we saw in the current film, or one more properly from Miles’ reality. However, that Spider-Gwen will definitely be the lead in the spin-off, which will costar Jessica “Spider-Woman” Drew and Cindy “Silk” Moon, the last of whom is also likely to get a live-action movie in what they’re now calling Sony’s Universe of Marvel Characters, or SUMC. Both animated films are said to stay true to recent runs of the comics. “I think it’s great that we’re going to be able to tell movies about female superheroes in this realm, and in the live-action realm as well, because I believe that there are going to be characters that really resonate for people,” says Pascal.

And speaking of that “SUMC,” in addition to the Jared Leto Morbius movie underway, there are tentative plans for Silver Sable and Black Cat (which we knew), Kraven, Jackpot, and Nightwatch. There’s even a chance that the Sinister Six movie, originally intended to spin off from Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Movies, might get rejiggered to fit the new live-action continuity, if Drew Goddard agrees to direct again.

But as for whether Tom Holland’s Spidey could ever be included? Sorry, fans, but, “it would be years in the future, after Holland’s Marvel contract expires.”

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no it’s just your little one dressed as Supergirl. This is the perfect unique baby shower gift for people who love Dc Comics. We’re not big in featuring gender stereotype clothing, but sometimes you have to make exceptions. Unfortunately, this onesie only comes in pink.

The post Dc Comics Supergirl Has Arrived Onesie appeared first on Geek Baby Clothes.

If there’s one thing you can count on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s that Deadpool is going to find a way to insert himself into the action. The Merc with a Mouth appears in an all-Deadpool remake of the Avengers: Endgame trailer, playing every role. The trailer, made by YouTuber Mightyraccoon!, opens with Deadpool talking to Hugh Jackman via an old Wolverine helmet (give them a buddy movie already, universe!) in place of Tony Stark leaving a final message for Pepper Potts.

We then get Deadpool as a series of brooding Avengers (including a blonde wigged Black Widow) as he refers to Thanos as “purple Homer Simpson” and pokes fun at the trailer’s somber tone. There’s lots of fun details in the trailer, including a Hugh Jackman photo in Cap’s compass.

With the Fox-Disney merger on the horizon, it is possible that we’ll see Deadpool join the Avengers, but honestly, I’d rather not. Those films are committed to being family-friendly, and I’d rather see a fully unleashed R-rated Deadpool movie than a watered-down PG-13 one. But who knows what the future holds … I wouldn’t mind watching him hit on Thor.

Henry Cavill is still our Man of Steel. Watch Jason Momoa shut down rumors about Henry moving on from Superman. pic.twitter.com/iDddD2jN34

— Entertainment Tonight (@etnow) December 13, 2018

At the Aquaman blue carpet, actor Jason Momoa was asked about the fate of his fellow Justice Leaguer Henry Cavill, who has been portraying Superman in the DCEU since Man of Steel. In the video Momoa, when asked if Cavill is leaving says, “Absolutely not. He loves the character, and he’s not. 100%.”

The will he stay or will he go rumors have been huge the last few months, especially since Cavill will be the lead in the upcoming The Witcher series on Netflix and therefore might be less available to take up the cape as before.

I am game to see Cavill in the role under a better script and director, so if this is true, then it’s great news. If it’s just a misdirection or Momoa acting on the information that he knows, it really doesn’t change much. We are used to different actors taking up the role of Superman and Batman, so I just hope whoever plays Clark Kent next loves the character.
