In a recent livestream, Vice President of Marvel’s Digital Media Group Ryan Penagos confirmed that Insomniac's Spider-Man game will release later this year. Which sounds simply amazing.
Sony's recently revealed Venom movie may not be a spinoff at all, but rather the start of a new Spider-Man-less cinematic universe. And an R-rated one at that!
And then there’s Spider-Man. If you were 15 and you had no income to rely on, getting your hands on a decent costume would be an uphill struggle to say the least. In Spider-Man: Homecoming, that’s a fact that is made clear when you see Tom Holland’s first suit as the spectacular vigilante. It just screams homemade.
Sony has previously struggled to put together an outstanding Spider-Man movie. Maybe this time taking the focus off the webbed hero and placing it on some of his female villains could do the trick.
Times have changed over at Marvel. A new generation of heroes have risen, some good and some bad. While characters such as Kate Bishop, Kamala Khan and Miles Morales feel like worthy successors to the identities that they’ve claimed as Hawkeye, Miss Marvel and Spider-Man respectively, other new additions feel ham-fisted and forced upon readers so far. It’s very much old school and new school clashing right now, something that Marvel is looking to fix with their upcoming Generations event that’ll run from July through to September over the course of ten of their books
Spider-Man may have the worst luck in the world, but he’s still a hero who is quite simply spectacular. A facet of the wallcrawler that developer Insomniac wants to show off in their game.
Sony is feeling pretty confident that the 23rd time may be the charm at getting a Venom solo movie off the ground. According to The Hollywood Reporter and ERC, Sony doesn’t just have a greenlight for a Venom movie that’ll be completely unrelated (for now I’d guess) to the current incarnation of Spidey, but a date as well for release: October 5 of 2018.
Marvel has finally realised that fans want more from the company. They want solid games, good games that make proper use of the characters licensed to the studios responsible for creating digital adventures on various consoles and PC. And that epiphany has led to several partnerships as of late, from Square Enix’s untitled Avengers game through to Insomniac’s upcoming Spider-Man game.
Movie theaters can give commercials instant atmosphere, but they also introduce real production risks. …
