I also dont think even if they could Sony would want to take Spiderman away. MCU casted Hollan wouldnt be surprised if Holland cant appear as Spidey in a non MCU movie. So all this talk about them wanting to take Holland away and put him in a Sony universe with Venom and Morbius might not even be possible. Atleast not for X amount of time
Saw it today. It wasn't bad but it definitely was the weakest Spiderman movie I've seen - I've not seen Amazing Spiderman 2.
I just have so little interest in teenage Spidey. I want to see him trying to adult, struggling with bills, selling photos to JJ, etc. Like we've seen since the near beginning of the comics and in the first two movie series. I also don't like him being junior Iron Man. About the only thing I do like is that they actually seem to have gotten Aunt May's age right as her being a senior citizen has never made much sense in the comics or early movies as an aunt to a high schooler should be in the 40-50 range at most barring some bizarro age gaps between siblings.
My rankings:
1. Spiderman 2 - this is the conversation for me as best comic movie of all time.
2. Spiderman - an excellent movie that was somehow massively outshined by its sequel.
3. Spiderman 3 (yes its flawed but even flawed the Raimi movies are better than the rest)
4. Amazing Spiderman
5. Into the Spiderverse
6. Homecoming
7. Far From Home.
Some have stated that the selfie might be a reference (or cross promotion) to the PS4 game, but I could've sworn I saw the anti-Ock suit from the game alongside the comic Iron Spider when Spider-Man was looking over options for a new suit.

Spider-Verse pulled a similar thing I think; the PS4 suit is one of the ones in the dead Peter's bunker.
Makes sense, considering the game is pretty much Sony's and both movies are co-produced by Sony.

My understanding of the deal is that Sony retains the rights to Spider-Man and all the characters in his orbit, and that they'll jointly produce 3 solo Spider-Man films with Marvel, while allowing Marvel to also use Peter (and Aunt May) in a certain number of strictly Marvel movies. But if they want, they can certainly have Tom Holland's Spider-Man appear in any other movies they want to put him in, including Venom. And since Amy Pascal is no longer in charge at Sony, I can definitely see them wanting to take back Spider-Man entirely and try to milk all of the money out of the franchise that they can (and in the process probably run it back into the ground. It IS Sony, after all).
Just saw Far From Home, and I had a bit of a realization. In these movies, the main villain is never actually the main villain- Tony Stark is the villain. In Homecoming, Vulture was a villain of circumstance. Tooms and his crew were made unemployed when Tony Stark launched Damage Control and put Tooms out of business. As a result, he turned to crime to support his family. Quentin Beck is a villain of opportunity. After Tony appropriates his hologram tech and fires him, he and other people Stark has wronged- rightfully or not- turn to crime to set themselves up for life. Beck first uses his tech, and later EDITH, to make himself a hero, and this in turn will allow him to make enough money to set up his crew comfortably.
But again, behind both villains is Tony Stark. Neither would have existed without Stark.
It makes me curious to see how they'd use Norman Osborn. He's basically evil Tony in many ways.
Beck really can't blame Tony Stark, as he was an employee of Stark's (thus had to know he was developing technology for his boss), and had to right to expect to keep his tech. And the fact that he was willing to commit murder to be a pretend hero clearly indicates Tony was right about him. And we're supposed to be feel sorry for his tech support, because an unflattering comparison was made between him and Tony?
Toomes, I'm kinda curious what his exact business arraignment was/is. Was he actually under contract when Damage Control came in, or did he assume that he would be?
