This is very, very, very dope news. One of the minds behind Cabin in the Woods (meta! quips! cleverness!) is going to be helming the next Spider-Man movie.

Well, Marvel. You released an official poster for Avenging: Age of Robots. And it’s neat enough. Confirms that Peggy Carter and the Falcon are up in the movie. But it may be the little tip tease that is going to get everyone talking.Additional music from Danny Elfman? The gentleman who composed the original score for Spider-Man. The character that you recently gained access to? This can’t be a fucking coincidence, right?

Now that Marvel Studios sort of/kind of own Spider-Man, they certainly aren’t going to cannibalize their own sales. In order to prevent themselves from doing this though, the studio finds themselves having to push around some release dates.

Free at last! Free at last! Spider-Man has been (somewhat) released from his Sony Pictures Prison, and joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And with that new beginning brings a new Spider-Man, as the role is being recast. The new Web-Slinger will first debut in a MCU movie before snagging his own. Given the Marvel timeline that has Parker’s own movie dropping in 2017, it seems his debut will be Civil War and not Infinity War. If I had to fucking guess.

Cheers to Daniel Heard! The friend of the site and nauseatingly talented illustrator passed along this little morsel. Patton Oswalt recently cut a podcast with the Nerdist where he discussed what he would do with the Spider-Man movie franchise. Oh, and he also revealed that he did some script punch-up on ASM2.

Man. Fuck the Sony Hackers. Not because I’m like, morally opposed to their actions. I don’t have many morals. But rather, the DATA STREAMS this weekend were unrelenting in their coverage. So I stuffed another taco in my mouth and said, “fuck it, I’ll cover the Spidey news on Monday.” And here we are. Here we are.

I’m not going to get TOO FUCKING PUMPED about this news. Because a similar shade of rumor popped up around the release of Avengers. But oh dearest me, if Sony can swing some sort of money-slicked deal with Marvel to make this work, my dick is your battering ram.

This is what we call one of them mitigated victories. Prior to the Emma Stone/Marc Webb/Andrew Garfield-powered Spider-Man reboot, Donald Glover lobbied (or didn’t really lobby depending on your interpretation) for the role of Peter Parker. People like me thought it would be dope. Other people short-circuited because gosh dang it that Glover folk’s skin pigment dun match Parker’s!

Glover didn’t get to play Parker, obviously. And boo! But now he’s sort of gotten the role of Spider-Man.
