RUMOR: Is Sony Really Developing An 'Aunt May' Spy Thriller?!

We have heard some crazy rumors in our day but this takes the cake. Today Dave of Latino-Review posted an article stating that Sony has yet to greenlight this project but is seriously suggesting an Aunt May origin movie!
Yes, an Aunt May movie. A movie about Aunt May as a youth, before she was shouldered with the responsibility of raising Peter Parker. The target mood is some sort of espionage story in the vein of AMC’s Mad Men, which sounds like a way of saying “classier Agent Carter” without name-dropping Marvel’s upcoming series.Yes, the loving Aunt and surrogate mother to young Peter Parker may get her own origin movie to further Sony's attempt to milk the Spider-Man franchise for all it's worth.....I guess secrets really have a cost.
Take with a massive grain of salt because this could have been a simple off handed comment by producer Avi Arad and not a legitimate feature film in consideration...But the fact they would even consider this is quite disturbing.

RUMOR: Will Sony Just Reboot 'Spider-Man' Once Again and Recast? 'Venom' Movie Dead

This is yet another rumor surrounding the future of Spider-Man. We already got word that Sony maybe reaching out to Marvel to incorporate the web-slinger in the overall Marvel Cinematic Universe. But now Badass Digest claims that this is a rumor they have heard amongst two others:
- Sony is going to soft reboot Spider-Man with The Sinister Six, having a new actor playing a Spidey who works with the villains The Dirty Dozen style to take down a larger threat.They say that any three of these rumors could be true or none of them are true. Fact of the matter is Sony really has no idea what it wants to do after the critical panning that was The Amazing Spider-Man 2. But one thing we all can agree on was that Andrew Garfield was absolulty not the problem with the already rebooted Spider-Man films. He is actually a highlight alongside his real life girlfriend Emma Stone. So hopefully if Marvel does actual get the rights back to Spider-Man they bring Andrew Garfield back as the web-slinger!
- Sony is going to put Spider-Man on the shelf for four or five years and see if they can develop any of the side characters into their own franchises.

Lastly, the website goes onto claim Alex Kurtzman's upcoming Venom spin-off film is once again dead...but this has yet to be confirmed.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is on DVD & Blu-Ray Today!

Andrew Garfield Blames Sony For 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' Failing

Andrew Garfield is easily the best Spider-Man in one of the worst Spider-Man movies to date. Many non-comic book fans loved the most recent web-slinger flick enough that it grossed over $700 Million at the world wide box office. But the core comic book fans rank it just above Spider-Man 3 with that oh so terrible emo Parker. Now Amazing Spider-Man 3 has been pushed back to 2018 with The Sinister Six getting its time to shine in 2016. Why? Because of the higher ups at Sony. Andrew Garfield tells The Daily Beast
"When you have something that works as a whole, and then you start removing portions of it saying…, No that doesn’t work, then the thread is broken, and it’s hard to go with the flow of the story. Certain people at the studio, had problems with certain parts and ultimately the studio has the final say in those movies, because they’re the tentpoles, so you answer to those people"Now the only real scenes we know was cut was the scenes with then cast Mary Jane Watson played by Shaliene Woodley. But in the end The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was a gimmick for Sony to lead directly into The Sinister Six. This was their throw away film to flesh out their own cinematic universe and unfortunately it failed to let Spidey shine at all.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is on DVD & Blu-Ray Today

Sony Announces Secret Female 'Spider-Man' Spin-Off Movie for 2017

After Sony pushed back The Amazing Spider-Man 3 to 2018 and moved Sinister Six up to 2016 it left 2017 wide open for another Spider-Man Universe film. Well, today Deadline is reporting that Sony is moving forward with a female lead Spider-Man spin-off movie penned by Lisa Joy Nolan (Jonah Nolans Wife; Christopher Nolans Sister-in-Law)! Now while we don't know exactly what character it will be it can be assumed that it will be about Black Cat.

Alternate Ending and Mary Jane Watson's Cut Scenes Revealed from 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2'

Today, Badass Digest revealed to have gotten their hands on the original The Amazing Spider-Man 2 script which includes a slew of cameos and alternate ending! These scenes sound way more like how a Spider-Man movie should have been instead of the Sinister Six: Origin story we ended up getting:
Mary Jane. As we all know Shailene Woodley was cast as Mary Jane Watson, shot some days and then was cut from the movie. The original script includes all of the MJ scenes, and she's introduced as the Parker's new next door neighbor. Her dad is an abusive drunk and she's a waitress who builds motorcycles in her spare time. She has a Spider-Man tattoo on her wrist, and she's clearly interested in Peter, who is totally hung up on Gwen. At one point Spider-Man confronts MJ's dad, telling him to lay off the girl. At the end of the script Gwen comes to Peter's house before heading to London; he's gone but she meets the new neighbor. They have a friendly exchange and MJ says that she always attracts dickheads and asks Gwen what her advice is to get a guy like Peter. "Date a nerd," Gwen says before heading off to die, basically giving MJ the okay to get with Peter.
J Jonah Jameson. JJJ's in the original script, as is Robbie Robertson. We see Peter, who is a student at Empire State University, bring his first Spider-Man pictures to JJJ, who gives him a tour of the Daily Bugle. JJJ complains that the internet is killing the newspaper business; later, Spidey and Electro's first fight send them crashing through the Daily Bugle offices and the printing presses.
Peter's blood. In the original script Peter actually gives his blood to Harry Osborn. This is a huge improvement over the finished film, where Harry just injects himself with spider venom. In the original script the Goblin suit is better explained - it isn't for military use but was specifically built in secret for Norman Osborn. When Richard Parker wouldn't give his blood to Osborn (the Parker DNA still being the key to it all), the suit went into Norman's boathouse where Harry finds it.
The death of Gwen Stacy. It plays out mostly the same in the original script... but Gwen, back broken, hangs on to life long enough to demand that Peter never give up. Because this is the same character who promptly broke his promise to Captain Stacy in The Amazing Spider-Man, Peter quits being Spider-Man in the next scene.
"With great power..." The finished film has a terrible bit at the end where Peter quits Spider-Man for a bunch of months, and this time passes by in a montage. The same thing happens here! But instead of finding a tape of Gwen's super on-the-nose graduation speech, Peter is approached by... his dad! Yes, Richard Parker shows back up at the end of the script, and he tells Peter he's been watching him for years. He's seen him become Spider-Man and everything. It's Richard who convinces Peter to become Spider-Man again, and in his last scene in the movie he tells Pete "With great power comes great responsibility," FINALLY working the famous phrase into this new series.
We at Superhero Movie News had heard that there was an alternate Death of Gwen Stacy scene then the "straight from the comics" one that ended up in the film. We had heard in the alternate scene it was actually Green Goblin/Harry Osborn who physically snaps Gwens neck in front of Spider-Mans eyes. In a fit of rage Spider-Man practically punches Harry to death. This scene was deemed to graphic for the obviously kid-friendly version of the film they were going for.

'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' Film Review
Andrew Garfield is the best Spider-Man, in arguably the worst Spider-Man movie ever made. This sequel is horrendous and really harkens back to the Joel Shumacher Batman movies, with campy dialogue, horribly portrayed villains and a plot that goes absolutely nowhere.
“The Amazing Spider-Man 2” has one good thing going for it and that is the love story between Gwen Stacy and Peter Parker. The love between these two characters is strong and powerful, and you root for these two throughout the entire flick. The chemistry between Garfield and Emma Stone is real, powerful, and strong, and maybe it has something to do with their real life love for each other as well.
Unfortunately, this is the only good thing that “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” has going for it. Jamie Foxx as Electro is such a waste, with his campy one liners and his over the top performance as Max Dillion. I am still unsure as to why and what Dillion's motivation for being evil was? Just because Spider-Man forgot who you were, you want to become this evil villain who wants to destroy all New York City?
Director Marc Webb does a fine job with the love story that is being told in this film, you really get the sense that great care was taken in getting that perfect, and those are some really strong and powerful moments that are played throughout the entirety of this film.
However, with that being said the movie crawls throughout the first two hours. This movie is not thrilling at all, it feels as though the movie was just a bunch of scenes that were just tossed together in the editing room with absolutely no purpose in telling a compelling narrative.Even the opening scene that begins in a plane should have zipped you back into the story of Peter Parker and his adventures of Spider-Man, but that scene crawled, and didn't really pay anything off like it should have.
It is still confusing as why Webb chose to use Electro as the main villain as he serviced nothing for the plot of the movie. Dane DeHaan's portrayal of Harry Osborn was strong and powerful, however his look as the Green Goblin was horrendous. The look was a cross between Billy Idol and a pre-teen girl. The only thing that was enjoyable about his performance as the Green Goblin was his laugh which was menacing and scary, other than that this Green Goblin was just another waste that made “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” not so amazing.

'Star Trek' Scribes Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci Parting Ways
Variety got the scoop that the writing duo Roberto Orci & Alex Kurtzman behind the rebooted Star Trek, Transformers, Amazing Spider-Man 2 and TV hit Fringe are officially parting ways. It will not be based off any cruel judgement between them but so they can grow as directors in their separate careers. The two will still work together on TV projects...
Roberto Orci is currently working on Star Trek 3 script and maybe called upon to direct. While Alex Kurtzman is looking to Sony's Venom spin off film as director.

'The Amazing Spider-Man' Producer Avi Arad Will Never Let 'Spider-Man' Crossover

IGN recently sat down with The Amazing Spider-Man and longtime producer Avi Arad about their new film The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Of course like always the question will Spidey ever crossover with The Avengers at Marvel or X-Men at FOX in which the producer said it will never happen until they have run out of ideas:
“I think I’m probably a little bit of the militant here. I think it will take a moment in which we’ve run out of ideas. There's so much to tell about Spider-Man. There's so much to tell about the Sinister Six. The relationship between Spider-Man and Venom will bring a whole other world in.”He adds:
“But we really feel very confident that we have so much to do […] Peter Parker is unique; he's really different. He's not an Avenger. He's not an X-Man. He's unique and we revere that. And we'd rather work really hard to have the right ideas than – you know in the toy business we used to make toys glow in the dark when they weren't selling well and it gave at least another Christmas. We don't need it yet.”This is all very interesting given that a couple years ago Avi Arad himself revealed that they wanted to have OSCORP Tower to appear within the New York skyline in The Avengers but yet never came to pass. A lot of fans also blame Avi Arad for the problems over at Sony but yet Spider-Man is a multimillion dollar property so he must be doing something right. Arad maybe a little jealous of Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige who once worked for him and is now the head of the hottest company in comic book history at Marvel Studios.

'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' To Have A 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' Post-Credit Clip

Empire (via Nerd Following) released some new promotional information about X-Men: Days of Future Past. Apparently, UK versions of Sony's The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will feature a post-credit exclsuive clip for Days of Future Past. No, this is not a post-credit stinger like Marvel Studios has made famous but a simple a scene from Days of Future Past out May 22nd. Its nothing more than cross-studios promotion.
Now this isn’t a post-credits sting as we’ve seen before in the Marvel universe, setting up some sort of crossover between the two worlds. Rather, it’s a clip from the X-film that gives us a taste of the action we’re in for. We’ve been told by Sony that the clip will be attached to the film in the UK.
The scene featured sees Jennifer Lawrence’s Mystique, Lucas Till’s Havok and Evan Jonigkeit’s Toad taking on William Stryker (Josh Helman) and his military men. Without wishing to spoil anything, let’s just say that Mystique once again demonstrates her formidable fighting skills in the brief segment.

Producer Matt Tolmach Teases 'Spider-Man' Showing Up in 'The Sinister Six' & 'Venom' Spin-Offs
During the red carpet premiere of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Hey U Guys spoke with Spider-Man producer Matt Tolmach on Spider-Man showing up in the upcoming villain spin-off movies Sony is working on which include Venom and The Sinister Six.
With the Venom movie, with the Sinister Six movie, there's a certain name not on the title. Are we going to see Spider-Man crop up or is it the start of the supervillain movie?He does go onto reveal Sony isn't looking to crossover with Disney or The Avengers anytime soon....but we knew that.
We'll see. That would be an enormous spoiler I cannot give you. I'll just say that anything is possible. That's the fun of that, and that is what you see in some of those Marvel movies. Once you sort of decide to open up the universe, the rules go out of the window and you get to have fun. So, without actually answering the question, we'll see what happens!

Shailene Woodley May Not Even Want to Return as MJ in 'The Amazing Spider-Man 3'

In Late 2012 (Like with every casting announcement) the internet blew up at the sight of The Decedents star Shailene Woodley taking on the role of Mary Jane Watson in a couple scenes in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Going on and on how the actress isn't hot enough or sexy enough etc etc. Director Marc Webb then came out and said they will be cutting her from the film as a means to keep the story focused on Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy.
Woodley has since gone onto star in The Spectacular Now and tween blockbuster Divergent. Total Film has now sat down with the actress who in the past revealed she may not return due to Divergent sequels....now it seems she may not even want to return.....who could blame her?

Andrew Garfield and Director Marc Webb WANT 'Spider-Man' in 'The Avengers'!
Another Spider-Man movie roles around more fans clamoring fro the web-slinger to appear in Marvel's The Avengers. Back in 2012 there was this tiny little rumor that Sony and Marvel had talked to have OSCORP tower from The Amazing Spider-Man appear in The Avengers movie. The rumor went onto say that the CGI New York skyline for The Avengers was already completed and it never happened. This rumor has never been confirmed or denied.
Now Yahoo! UK has sat down with the cast of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 about if they personally want to see our favorite web head suit up with The Avengers...and surprisingly they would all be ecstatic if that happened!

Shailene Woodley Pretty Sure She Won't Be Returning As 'Mary Jane Watson'
That's right internet, you won. It seems that after her scenes supposedly being cut from The Amazing Spider-Man 2 actress Shailene Woodley most likely won't be returning for The Amazing Spider-Man 3. This comes after months of sexiest bashing from nerds that she wasn't hot enough to play Mary Jane Watson.
While speaking with MTV Movies at Sundance this past weekend she reveals that she hasn't heard anything from the studio and with her commitment to Divergent she doesn't think she will be able to return:

"Andrew kills it. I don't know anything, but seeing as how they picked up the next two Divergent films, I don't know how I'd keep my sanity with two big action films in one year. But, anything can happen, so..."
