After many years in development hell, Sony is finally moving forward with its Venom movie, starring one of Spider-Man’s most iconic villains.

Variety says that it’s a “popular” Marvel character. Meanwhile, THR says that it’s NOT Carnage, even though Ahmed was considered for that role before script changes. Variety’s…

Before striking a deal with Marvel Studios, Sony attempted to launch a cinematic universe in the Amazing Spider-Man series. The second film was full of world-building in preparation for a Sinister Six movie, among other spin-offs. However, Amazing Spider-Man 2 underperformed critically and financially, leading to Sony scrapping its plans and teaming up with Marvel for another reboot. In an interview with Den of Geek, director Marc Webb reflects on his experience with the two Amazing Spider-Man movies, as well as what they were planning for the future. Webb denies being “pushed around” by Sony while making the movies, and he takes full responsibility for how they turned out. He…

Wonder Woman has proven to be an unstoppable force at the box office this summer. The DC film has maintained exceptional legs during its two-month (so far) run in theaters – stronger than any superhero movie in decades. Now, the movie has reached yet another key benchmark. Today, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Wonder Woman has reached the $400 million mark at the domestic box office. It is the 27th film in history to earn this gross, and only the eighth superhero movie to do so.

Right now, we’re in the middle of Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Next up from the studio is Thor: Ragnarok, Black Panther, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Captain Marvel, and two more Avengers movies. However, we still don’t really know the schedule for Phase Four. So far, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is the only confirmed installment of Phase Four. We also have a Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel coming out two months after Avengers 4, but it’s not clear if it’s part of Phase Three or the beginning of Phase Four. Kevin Feige previously suggested that Marvel is keeping its Phase Four titles under wraps, likely to avoid potential Avengers 4…

A few months ago, it was announced that The LEGO Batman Movie director Chris McKay is taking the helm of a Nightwing movie for Warner Bros. and DC Films. The script is being written by The Accountant‘s Bill Dubuque. Since the initial announcement, we’ve had few updates, and the film wasn’t mentioned at WB’s San Diego Comic-Con panel last month. Turns out there’s a specific reason for that. On Twitter, McKay says that he’s not rushing Nightwing just to hit a release date. He’s taking the time he needs to make a genuinely great movie. Thus, it wasn’t listed in DC Films’ next wave of titles at SDCC. I think…

A few weeks ago at San Diego Comic-Con, Warner Bros. revealed that The Flash movie has been titled Flashpoint, based on the epic comic book arc of the same name.

Forbes has published an in-depth article about the huge box office success of Wonder Woman, which will cross $400 million domestically in a matter of days. But the article also offers some tidbits on Wonder Woman’s cinematic future. According to the site, Gal Gadot’s Diana Prince is expected to…
