Jamie Foxx recently found himself at the center of an unexpected conflict while dining out in Beverly Hills.

The celebrated actor and comedian, who just released his Netflix special ‘What Had Happened Was,’ was celebrating his birthday at the upscale Mr. Chow when a disruptive incident occurred.

The altercation began when patrons at a neighboring table behaved rudely. Foxx, known for his roles in ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ and ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2,’ politely requested that the individuals tone down their behavior.

The situation escalated when one of the diners hurled a glass at Foxx, striking him in the mouth.

Following the incident, a spokesperson for Foxx confirmed to People that the actor required stitches for the injuries sustained.

They further mentioned that the local police were notified, adding that the altercation is now being handled by law enforcement.

Like the X-Men, Fantastic Four, Blade, Daredevil, and more, Spider-Man was always off-limits to Marvel Studios. There had long been chatter about the web-slinger appearing in the MCU - who could forget that fake "leaked" post-credits scene for Avengers: Age of Ultron - but it never seemed likely.

In the mid-2010s, Sony Pictures had its own plans for Spidey, including at least two more movies in The Amazing Spider-Man franchise and a Sinister Six project from Drew Goddard.

However, when The Amazing Spider-Man 2 underperformed and leaked "Sony Hack" emails revealed that Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal had at least discussed the possibility of a crossover, the decision was made to bring Peter Parker into the MCU.

That happened with 2016's Captain America: Civil War, with Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home, and - following a brief spat which saw the Russo Brothers and Tom Holland get involved - Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Sony’s successful Spider-Man Universe has officially ended with Kraven the Hunter. Although the Ssu project was initially planned after the Andrew Garfield starring The Amazing Spider-Man 2’s release, it was shelved after the movie’s disappointing performance. It was relaunched, however, when in 2015, Sony struck a deal with Marvel to collaborate with the studio on future appearances of the web-slinger, and eventually integrate the character into the expansive MCU.

Sony’s plan was to give the villains from the comics, as well as some other characters who have gotten lost in obscurity because of their lack of media representation in movie adaptations a center stage to shine.

This produced the heavily appreciated Venom series, Morbius, Madame Web, and Kraven the Hunter. However, what is interesting is that even with 5 movies in their bag,...

This article contains spoilers for "Kraven the Hunter."

The premiere of "Kraven the Hunter" this week has been hobbled thanks to the word that the cinematic universe it belongs to — the eventually-named Sony Spider-Man Universe — is effectively dead, with the studio choosing to focus on the next "Spider-Man" movie. This comes as no big surprise to anyone, really; even if you haven't been paying attention to the poor critical and commercial reception for the films that make up this macro franchise, the demise of this cinematic universe is only following the pattern for cinematic universes that aren't Marvel's proper. At this point in the trend, audiences are well-versed in movies that were part of grand designs for a larger, interconnected series, plans that will no longer come to fruition.

To answer the question directly: no, "Kraven the Hunter" does not set up more Marvel movies from Sony, at least not in a clear-cut,...

This article contains spoilers for "Kraven the Hunter."

"Kraven the Hunter" is the last straw for Sony's Spider-Man Universe, which seems to be dead and truly gone. After trying to build a bizarre universe of Spider-Man villains that aren't really villains — and also Madame Web for some reason — it seems the studio realized you can't really make a cinematic universe when your movies aren't really connected, and star characters that don't really act like they should be acting.

At least the universe formerly known as Spumc is going out not with a bang, but also not a whimper, as "Kraven the Hunter" is dumb, very dumb, and also not good, but it sure is entertaining. As our own reviewer noted, "The badness of 'Kraven' — paired with the blustering confidence of the lead character — lends it a certain kind of whimsical, let's-all-have-a-chuckle charm. 'Kraven' sucks, but one can still have a good time.

Kraven the Hunter is now playing in theaters and while the movie has received mostly negative reviews, there are still a surprising number of Easter Eggs for Spider-Man fans to sink their teeth into.

The Foreigner has a significant role in the story, as does Calypso and Sergei Kravinoff's brother, Dimitri (better known to comic book fans as The Chameleon). Then, there's Rhino and repeated mentions of Dr. Miles Warren, the scientist who cloned Spider-Man as The Jackal.

The latter, who is based in New York but never appears, has the ability to give people superpowers. In the case of Aleksei Sytsevich, he undergoes a procedure which cures past physical ailments and grants him the ability to transform into The Rhino.

In the comics, that villain either wears an artificial skin-like suit (his strength is later further enhanced by gamma radiation) or an exoskeleton that's somewhat similar to the one...

Keep reaching, Miles. According to The Wrap help is nowhere to be found for the Sony Pictures Universe of Spider-Man Characters, and no amount of Spidey sense can get it back.

Brazil hosted its Comic-Con Experience (Ccxp) last weekend at the time of this post, and as in recent years, expectations were hot that studio panels would have packed rooms full of giddy nerds awaiting news about the 2025 slate of comic book movies.

With only a week before the domestic premiere of Kraven the Hunter, Sony Pictures couldn't wait to welcome a throng of fans who appreciated their version of the hijacked IP Marvel universe. In the words of Umberto Gonzalez via a fan in attendance, "[It] played to rows of empty seats. There were no stars and not that many fans. Just silence where superhero hype should have been."

Ouch.

Evidently, the sea of open seats created a drowning volume...

Sony's run out of Spumc! That's right, dear readers — even though Jc Chandor's hard-r rated Kraven The Hunter hasn't quite hit cinemas yet, it would appear that the movie's parent studio is getting set to call time on the Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters all the same. According to a new report from The Wrap into the reasons why the Spumc well has run dry, the Aaron Taylor-Johnson starring Kraven movie — which is set to open in 1,000 less cinemas than Venom: The Last Dance did earlier this year — will be the final nail in the coffin of Sony's attempts to make a shared universe out of Spider-Man's rogues gallery.

Though Sony declined to comment on The Wrap's in-depth story, the picture painted — of a movie studio that sunk $465 million into producing such fare as Madame Web, Morbius, and the projected-to-open-to-just-$15-million Kraven The Hunter without their talismanic...

For the last handful of years, Sony has shaken up the superhero movie landscape by expanding the scope of the "Spider-Man" franchise. That has occasionally resulted in truly wonderful things, such as the Oscar-winning hit animated film "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse," as well as its sequel, "Across the Spider-Verse." It has also resulted in truly surprising hits, such as Tom Hardy's "Venom" trilogy. It has also, however, brought forth some truly disastrous spin-offs, such as "Morbius" and "Madame Web." And it appears as though the days of these Spidey villain spin-off films may soon be behind us.

"Kraven the Hunter," directed by J.C. Chandor ("Triple Frontier") and starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson ("Tenet"), hits theaters this upcoming weekend. According to a new report by The Wrap, the movie might mark the end of the line for these villain-focused films. "They've developed what they want to develop for now," a top talent...

Ahead of Kraven the Hunter's release in theaters this weekend, fans have cause to celebrate because the end of Sony's Spider-Man Universe is finally upon us.

According to The Wrap, the decision has been made to pull the plug on the slate of spin-offs that revolved around characters with close ties to Spider-Man, but not the web-slinger himself.

A top talent agent tells the trade, "They’ve developed what they want to develop for now. It’s really about the next 'Spider-Man' film."

A Sony insider tells them that the studio now intends to focus on Spider-Man 4 - co-produced with Marvel Studios - and Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. On the TV side, Spider-Noir is also a top priority as Sony looks to finally put the spotlight on the character that matters: Spider-Man.

Venom provided the doubters wrong in 2018 when it earned close to $900 million at the box office; however,...

Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (Ssu) was a film franchise centered around characters from Spider-Man-related Marvel Comics. It began in 2013, with Sony planning spin-offs from The Amazing Spider-Man 2, including a Venom movie.

After The Amazing Spider-Man 2 underperformed, Sony partnered with Marvel Studios to bring Spider-Man into the MCU, while continuing to develop a separate Venom universe.

The Ssu included the Venom franchise, Morbius, Madame Web, and the upcoming Kraven the Hunter. Most of these films received poor reviews, with Morbius and Madame Web particularly criticized.

As Kraven the Hunter prepares for its release, early projections for the movie’s box office performance are grim. These projections, based on pre-sale data and key metrics, are often a reliable indicator of a film’s success, though not always 100% accurate. If a movie is projected to earn $30 million, for example, it’s unlikely to gross $250 million on opening weekend, with final numbers...

Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (Ssu) is (was?) a film franchise based on Spider-Man-related Marvel Comics characters. Sony started creating the Ssu in 2013, planning spin-off films from ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2,’ including a Venom movie.

After ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’ underperformed, Sony teamed up with Marvel Studios to bring Spider-Man to the MCU, while also developing a separate Venom universe.

Ssu consisted of the ‘Venom’ franchise which recently released its final installment, ‘Venom: The Last Dance,’ ‘Morbius,’ ‘Madame Web,’ and the upcoming ‘Kraven the Hunter.’ Most films received poor reviews, with ‘Morbius’ and ‘Madame Web’ being downright catastrophic.

Now as Ssu gears up for the release of ‘Kraven the Hunter’ the projections for the movie’s release look awful. As you may know, box office projections are often based on pre-sale data and other key metrics.

While these forecasts aren’t always 100% accurate, they’re usually a reliable indicator. If a...

When Sony Pictures determined they would make the best of the IP rights of the Spider-Man universe at the turn of the century, there was a plan to include historic characters like Venom. Much like with the more favored and dashing stepbrother over at Marvel Studios, the movies would be loosely connected and build on the infrastructure Stan Lee, Steve Ditko, Jack Kirby, John Romita Sr., Gil Kane, and other luminaries established in the comics.

Yet, when Venom was "co-created" by Todd MacFarlane in 1988, debuting in The Amazing Spider-Man No. 252, the thought about the symbiote was being fueled by revenge. Spider-Man was his first human host. They got separated. We'd all get perturbed if our landlord made us homeless. So, yes, Venom wanted revenge.

He was a creature of intense rage, which is why he targeted Eddie Brock. From Klyntar to San Francisco, Venom came to destroy anything -- or...

When you think of movies with alternate endings, we'd imagine the likes of Blade Runner and I Am Legend immediately come to mind.

While studios do occasionally test contrasting endings, that's rare, and it obviously helps any movie to have a definitive conclusion set in stone when cameras start rolling. For each of the Marvel and DC Comics adaptations listed here, however, things once looked vastly different to what we eventually saw in theaters.

Whether it's studio interference, last-minute reshoots, or scrapped plans for future stories, each of these blockbusters came close to wrapping up on a-now unrecognisable note. 

Would they have been better or worse? We'll leave you to decide, but you can check these out by tapping the "Next"/"View List" buttons below.

8. Suicide Squad - Joker vs. Task Force X

Neither filmmaker David Ayer nor many Dceu fans will stop harping on about the "Ayer Cut" of 2016's Suicide Squad.

Andrew Garfield first played Peter Parker in 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man. The actor reprised the role two years later for The Amazing Spider-Man 2; however, the movie's massive budget saw it deemed a disappointment and Sony Pictures decided to team with Marvel Studios for a reboot.

That meant the actor missed out on The Amazing Spider-Man 3 and Sinister Six, though he might have had a lucky escape based on what we've heard about plans for those (among them was a potion that resurrected the dead and a subplot about Norman Osborn's decapitated head).

Regardless, Garfield returned to the role in 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home and comic book fans remain eager to see him suit up again.

Garfield is currently serving on Luca Guadagnino's (Challengers) jury at the Marrakech Film Festival and, during a Q&a, admitted he's "had to work very hard to have less people ask questions about 'Spider-Man.

Andrew Garfield played Spider-Man in The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and its sequel, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014). His portrayal of Peter Parker was praised for its charm and emotional depth, but the films received mixed reviews.

Critics felt the first movie was solid but too similar to the original Spider-Man trilogy, while the sequel was criticized for having too many storylines and lack of focus. Despite this, Garfield’s Spider-Man gained a strong fanbase, and his return in Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) was widely celebrated.

Besides rumors of Garfield returning to the MCU as Spider-Man, he will also star in Luca Guadagnino’s upcoming thriller After the Hunt.

Andrew Garfield and director Luca Guadagnino recently talked about Garfield’s past role as Spider-Man.

At the Marrakech Film Festival, Garfield mentioned that he works hard to avoid constantly being asked about Spider-Man, joking that it’s still an ongoing process. He expressed gratitude...

Andrew Garfield starred as Spider-Man in ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ (2012) and its sequel, ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’ (2014). While his performance as Peter Parker was praised for its charm and emotional depth, the films received mixed reviews.

Critics felt the first film was solid but too similar to the original ‘Spider-Man’ trilogy, while the sequel was criticized for its overcrowded storylines and lack of focus. Despite this, Garfield’s Spider-Man gained a loyal fanbase, and his return in ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ (2021) was widely celebrated.

Besides the rumors of Garfield returning to the MCU as Spider-Man again, the actor will play a role in Guadagnino’s upcoming thriller ‘After the Hunt.’

The star and the director recently sat down to discuss the movie and it turned to Garfield’s past role as the webslinger. At the Marrakech Film Festival, Andrew Garfield shared that he works hard to avoid being constantly asked about Spider-Man.

Kraven the Hunter is hitting the big screen, and there are a few things to know about this character!

The Sony Spiderverse has been…let’s be charitable and say “hit and miss.” There has been the success of the Venom movies but also the disasters of Morbius and Madame Web. However, Sony is still trying to make it work, with their latest Spider-Man effort being Kraven the Hunter. It’s an intriguing character with a rich history, so here are a few things to know about the movie before it premieres this December!

He’s one of Spidey’s oldest foes

First appearing in Amazing Spider-Man #15 in 1964, Sergei Nikolaevich Kravinoff was introduced as the world’s greatest big game hunter. Bored of taking down just about every animal there was, Sergei took on the name Kraven to hunt Spider-Man, who he saw as unique prey. He was notable for...

Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2 left fans buzzing with its emotional highs, especially the tragic death of Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone). However, the film also stirred controversy by omitting a pivotal character: Mary Jane Watson (Mj). Mj had been the familiar love interest of Peter Parker/ Spider-Man, something Sony’s Amazon Spider-Man skipped past in the first movie.

However, for the second movie, Shailene Woodley played Parker’s familiar love interest, even though her scenes ended up being cut from the movie. Now, with whispers of The Amazing Spider-Man 3 on the horizon, Woodley’s Mj could be Sony’s best chance to reinvigorate the franchise.

Sony’s Spider-Man Universe hasn’t been faring too well since teaming up with the MCU. Don’t get me wrong, Spider-Man’s standalone movies within the MCU have been an absolute triumph, swinging from one spectacular hit to the next. But let’s be honest, Sony’s left holding the bag of Spidey villains, and while Venom has been a surprisingly successful antihero, the rest hasn’t exactly made the leap from potential to profitable.

It’s fair to say the franchise started with promise but now teeters on the edge, with Venom as its lone, tragic figure desperately trying to keep the spark alive.

Venom The Beginning and End of the Ssu?

The Ssu kicked off in 2018 with Venom, introducing the fans to Eddie Brock, a journalist who bonds with the alien symbiote, Venom. The unlikely pair’s...

Sydney Sweeney has had multiple releases this year and has become Hollywood’s newest ‘it girl’. While she closed off last year with her successful romantic comedy Anyone But You, she had a rocky start this year with Madame Web, which was followed by the horror film Immaculate. She is awaiting the release of her Ron Howard film Eden.

While her stint with Marvel seemed to have flunked with Madame Web, the nature of the multiverse lets her have a second chance. Fans have been campaigning for the actress to be cast as Felicia Hardy, a.k.a Black Cat, in Tom Holland’s upcoming Spider-Man 4. However, the franchise is rumored to be eyeing someone else for the role.

Andrew Garfield has turned himself into quite the actor over the last decade or so. Not only does he star in acclaimed films such as "Tick, Tick...Boom!" or the recently released "We Live in Time" for A24, but he's also capable of delivering the goods in blockbusters as well. He was a major reason why 2021's "Spider-Man: No Way Home" became one of the biggest movies ever. But before he became an A-list actor capable of walking comfortably in both of these worlds, he starred in an oft-forgotten drama alongside Tom Cruise. 

The movie was 2007's "Lions for Lambs," directed by cinematic legend Robert Redford, who also stars in the film. Not only that, but Meryl Streep, one of the greatest actors of all time, was in the film as well, as was future big star Michael Peña. In hindsight,...

Dane DeHaan is very relieved to finally be talking about Wardriver — the script first landed in his inbox a decade ago.

Directed by Rebecca Thomas (Stranger Things) and written by Daniel Casey (F9: The Fast Saga, 10 Cloverfield Lane), Wardriver spotlights the art and culture of wardriving: a microcosm of the hacking industry that involves searching for networks from a moving vehicle. His modern day Robin Hood-esque character, Cole, exploits this highly specialized skill of his to commit high-tech robberies from his laptop.

When criminal Oscar (played Mamoudou Athie) uncovers Cole’s abilities, he forces him to hack the account of the Sarah (Sasha Calle, best known for The Flash), draining nearly a million dollars. Cole discovers that a powerful, mob-connected lawyer (Jeffrey Donovan) has been using Sarah to hide his money. Falling in love with Sarah, DeHaan’s character initiates a plan to replace the stolen money and protect Sarah,...

Spider-Man fans adored Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone as a couple. The Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy actors met playing love interests in The Amazing Spider-Man, and they pursued a real-life romance for years. While they went their separate ways, they publicly supported each other’s Hollywood careers. Unfortunately, a source claimed that Garfield still feels “haunted” by his breakup with Stone.

Andrew Garfield is allegedly ‘haunted’ by his breakup with Emma Stone, a source alleged

Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone seemed like the perfect couple after meeting on the set of The Amazing Spider-Man in December 2010. By June 2011, reports rolled in that Garfield and Stone had started falling for each other. The actors gushed to media outlets about their love and how working together felt like a dream.

Unfortunately, Stone and Garfield decided to take a break from their relationship in April 2015. The media suggested they were fighting a...

Mary Jane Watson was ready to strut her stuff in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. But she didn’t. Instead, she disappeared. Shailene Woodley wanted to bring that fiery redhead to life, but the final cut didn’t have her.

Now, let’s take a trip down memory lane. Mj first crashed the Marvel Comics party back in 1965—and nope, she wasn’t just another pretty face. She gave Gwen Stacy a severe run for her money! After Gwen’s exit, courtesy of the Green Goblin, Mj swooped in, ready to make sparks fly. Kirsten Dunst nailed it as Mj in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy, while Zoë Kravitz brought her voice to life in Into the Spider-Verse.

When filming started for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in early 2013, everyone was splitting up about Woodley stepping into the redhead’s shoes.

Andrew Garfield, who played the titular Marvel role in 2012’s The Amazing Spider-Man and the 2014 sequel The Amazing Spider-Man 2, made his last appearance as the character in the 2021 hit Spider-Man: No Way Home along with Tobey Maguire and Tom Holland. Garfield’s role made us believe he wasn’t just fighting the villains but wrestling with his inner battles. Moreover, his chemistry with Emma Stone’s Gwen Stacy had fans hooked. But after The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Sony hit the brakes on his journey without concluding his character arc.

Although Garfield’s Spider-Man void was filled by Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, his cameo in No Way Home reignited the spark among fans who want more of him. Well, Marvel and Sony can find plenty of ways to bring him back if they will.

Johnny Depp and Penélope Cruz are reteaming for Day Drinker, a thriller that Marc Webb will direct for Lionsgate.

The company launches international sales on the title this week at the American Film Market. It marks Depp’s most high-profile attempt to mount a Hollywood comeback following the many controversies that arose from his messy divorce from actress Amber Heard. The actor in recent years starred in the French period drama Jeanne du Barry last year and directed the period indie Modi: Three Days on the Wing of Madness that just played at the Rome Film Festival, but those were not commercial plays and were made with European backers.

Drinker is squarely in the bankable action genre and has the players to prove it. Producing are Thunder Road’s Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, who produce the John Wick franchise for Lionsgate. Adam Kolbrenner, whose credits include The Tomorrow War,...

Oh what a tangled web we weave when the multiverse becomes part of Spider-Man canon. The Spider-Man film franchise started simply enough, with 2002’s “Spider-Man.” Fast forward 20 years and three different actors have played live-action versions of the Wall Crawler, with the trio joining forces in 2021’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home.”

The most recent Spidey flick wasn’t just a fun family reunion. It also led to Marvel verifying the existence of the multiverse in its live-action productions. As the former Sorcerer Supreme Doctor Strange says in the film, “The multiverse is a concept about which we know frighteningly little.”

While the establishment of the multiverse has a still yet-to-be-determined impact on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in the present it can make watching Spider-Man movies in order a little complicated.

Thankfully, there are a myriad of ways to enjoy your friendly neighborhood Spider-Men. Below is a list of the Web...

Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man has aged extremely well over the years. While his run in The Amazing Spider-Man film series was cut short by Sony’s plans, his return to the iconic suit in Spider-Man: No Way Home generated massive fan support. But despite such popularity, Garfield has never considered his version to be better than Tobey Maguire’s Og take.

To date, we have three prominent live-action versions of Spider-Man by Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland. Fan debates over the best version are often seen on many public platforms.

However, when a fan tried to demean Maguire’s rendition of the wall-crawler while comparing it to Garfield’s at the San Diego Comic-Con 2013, the latter did not take it lightly. His savage response to the fan is still remembered by the ardent Spider-Man followers.

Andrew Garfield, known for his performances in films such as The Amazing Spider-Man and Tick, Tick… Boom!, has often spoken about his mother, Lynn Garfield, and her battle with pancreatic cancer. In recent interviews, the actor has opened up about the profound impact her illness and eventual passing had on his life, both personally and professionally.

One of the three major Spider-Men to have been cast in recent decades, the loss of his mother in 2019 played a huge role in the actor’s life.

Andrew Garfield is the favorite Peter Parker among the three actors who have brought the character to the screen. Fans loved how the actor was able to bring many emotions into the character, especially the romantic chemistry with Emma Stone’s Gwen Stacy. However, he almost quit the character when he had to film the most difficult scene with Stone in the film.

Fans mourned alongside Garfield’s Peter in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 when he couldn’t save the love of his life. It is hard to forget the moment when Peter’s web caught Gwen a little too late, resulting in her death. In real life, Garfield felt the pressure while filming the scene where Peter’s world shatters into pieces.

Andrew Garfield very much seems to be happy and at peace with his time as Spider-Man. The actor took over as Peter Parker after Tobey Maguire played the role in Sam Raimi's trilogy. "The Amazing Spider-Man" movies that followed have their fans, but it would be fair to say they didn't go according to plan. Fortunately, Garfield got his chance for redemption in 2021's "Spider-Man: No Way Home," which proved to be a gigantic hit and truly satisfying for fans. For as satisfying as the experience was, though, it took a physical toll on the actor.

In a recent interview with GQ, Garfield discussed his time in the "Spider-Man" franchise. Breaking down "No Way Home," the actor explained that it had been several years since 2014's "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" brought an unceremonious end to his tenure as the web-slinger.

The story of the boy and the tiger is quite famous. When the time came, no one believed the boy about the tiger attack because he had lied about it before. That boy is Andrew Garfield and the tiger is the new alleged Spider-Man movie.

It started with a small rumor that Andrew Garfield, Tobey Maguire, and Tom Holland were going to appear together in Spider-Man: No Way Home. That rumor turned out to be true and now, no one will believe anything that Andrew Garfield says.

With less than one week to go until Venom: The Last Dance arrives in theaters, a spoilery new TV spot has been released with a worrying name: "Sacrifice."

In the teaser, we see Eddie Brock about to be devoured by a Xenophage before walking away from the downed helicopter we've previously seen him and Venom share a tearful exchange in. However, as he does so, a whole group of Xenophage close in for what could be the fugitive reporter's final moments!

It's hard to say whether Sony would showcase such a huge spoiler in a TV spot but the studio has a track record of doing so.

"I love playing Venom, but the contract's up and we always knew we were doing three and this is the best of them all," Hardy recently said when asked if this really is it for him as Venom. "We poured everything into it and absolutely love it.

Despite a string of box office failures, Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (Ssu) continues to thrive with numerous projects in the pipeline. Venom: The Last Dance is set to premiere next week, followed by Kraven the Hunter in December, while Spider-Man Noir is currently being developed for Amazon.

Additionally, there are rumors circulating that the long-anticipated film centered on the Sinister Six is still in the works.

According to the latest rumors from Daniel Richtman on his Patreon account, one Ssu project has resumed development—the film centered on Silver Sable.

With his talent and cinematic prowess, Andrew Garfield has made a big name for himself in the industry. The actor had a deep passion for acting and started participating in plays when he was nine. Years later, he would become one of the most bankable actors in the industry with movies like The Amazing Spider-Man and Hacksaw Ridge under his belt. Not just his professional life, but his love life has also garnered a lot of media attention throughout the years.

Heath Ledger died months before The Dark Knight arrived in theaters. As a result, the actor never got to see the response to his performance as The Joker or receive the "Best Supporting Actor" Oscar, which he was posthumously awarded the following year.

According to The Amazing Spider-Man star Andrew Garfield, Ledger was understandably confident about The Dark Knight being a hit after teaming with Christopher Nolan on the Batman Begins sequel. 

Garfield, who shared the screen with Ledger in 2009's The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, remembers the actor as a "very generous, beautiful, creative spirit." He'd call him "a kind of beacon, it was like a wild animal" on set, adding, "He was so free and so wild and so, kind of dangerous on set in a way that was the kind of thing that is inspiring and spontaneous."

"He would say before every take, or one take every scene,...

Spider-Man is a character that has earned himself a place as one of the most popular and recognizable fictional characters in the world - and for good reason. The Marvel superhero has captivated audiences for decades in comics from which he was first created, before that legacy spun out into television, video games, and films. He has also headlined multiple animated TV shows and movies, which have earned him legions of fans of all ages.

But let's talk about the live-action movies. There have been many films starring Spider-Man, but three actors have toplined Spidey's theatrical releases over the past two and a half decades, and those names are Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland. All three actors were a Peter Parker for a specific generation, and all had their own unique qualities that made them stand out in their respective movies.

But the question persists: Which one...

Andrew Garfield was the latest guest on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast and remembered feeling “too old” to play Peter Parker/Spider-Man when he walked in to audition for “The Amazing Spider-Man.” He’d end up getting the lead role, which spanned the 2012 film and its 2014 sequel, “The Amazing Spider-Man 2.” Garfield credited his acting coach Greta Seacat for helping him nab Spider-Man, as her advice before his screen test made him treat it like “it doesn’t fucking matter.”

“I did the first audition and thought that’s that. I’m too old. I felt I was too told,” Garfield said. “Just generally I was like I am 25 or 26 and playing a high schooler. I know I got good genes and all but I don’t know. That’s not going my way. I was surprised to be given an opportunity to screen test.”

“Greta gave me an acting...

Kevin Costner is catching a wave toward his next film.

The Academy Award winner and his Territory Pictures are teaming with Scott Steindorff and his Stone Village Films on Headhunters in what will mark Costner’s newest project after dedicating much of his recent creative energy to his epic Horizon: An American Saga franchise. And he’s diving headfirst into Headhunters as an actor, producer and co-screenwriter.

Accomplished cinematographer Steven Holleran will make his feature directorial debut on the film based on an idea he originated. He and Costner then collaborated on the script, which will take the veteran movie star a world away from the prairies, ranches and open country where he’s been spending so much screen time as of late on everything from Yellowstone to Horizon.

Described as a mashup that combines the “kinetic energy of surf culture with the suspense of horror,” Headhunters casts Costner as Lazer,...

Andrew Garfield first played Peter Parker in 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man. Two years later, the actor reprised the role for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, only for Sony Pictures to pull the rug out from under him by scrapping two sequels and a Sinister Six spin-off.

Even when the movies themselves let him down, it was clear Garfield loved Spider-Man but the odds of him ever returning to the role seemed slim. Then, Spider-Man: No Way Home changed everything.

In the Marvel Studios blockbuster, Garfield shared the screen with the McU's Spider-Man, Tom Holland, and their predecessor, Tobey Maguire.

Talking to Vanity Fair as part of the site's latest "Test How Well You Know Each Other" video, Garfield - who was being quizzed alongside his We Live in Time co-star Florence Pugh - was asked to name his favourite big screen Spidey.

"Tobey was my guy," he admitted. "I was in...

Even though we have all known that Spider-Man 4 has been happening for years now, its existence was finally confirmed recently when it was announced that Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton would direct the film. He takes over the reins from Jon Watts, who brought the first three Spider-Man movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to life, as Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures are reportedly eager to launch a new trilogy.

There has been a lot of talk about the film, which will feature the returns of Tom Holland and Zendaya as Peter Parker and Mj Watson, as reports have claimed that it will be another multiversal movie. If that's the case, it would be taking its cues from predecessor Spider-Man: No Way Home, which played an important role in the McU's Multiverse Saga (and brought back Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's...

Just when one thought that this admiration could not get any greater, the actor ended up getting more fan support. During a recent interview, Garfield was asked if he ever wanted to be a father. His answer is one of the most thoughtful ones out there.

Andrew Garfield On Being A Father

Recently, Andrew Garfield gave an interview with Esquire for the promotion of his upcoming film with Florence Pugh, We Live in Time.

Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire both reprised their respective big-screen Spider-Man roles in the mega-hit Spider-Man: No Way Home, joining current MCU Webhead Tom Holland for a Multiversal adventure that ultimately took in close to $2 billion at the worldwide box office (surpassing that milestone if you count the re-release).

While the response to both actors' return was mostly very positive, fans seemed particularly happy to see Garfield back in the iconic blue and red after his tenure as the hero was cut short following The Amazing Spider-Man 2's underperformance.

Earlier today, Garfield made it clear that he'd be more than happy to suit-up as Spider-Man again should the opportunity present itself - and "if it was the right thing, if it’s additive to the culture, if there’s a great concept or something that hasn’t been done before."

In the same interview with Esquire, Garfield admitted that...

Andrew Garfield once had a bright future as Spider-Man; alas, when The Amazing Spider-Man 2 failed to live up to expectations, Sony Pictures teamed up with Marvel Studios and scrapped plans for two more solo movies, Sinister Six, and an earlier iteration of Venom.

Like Tobey Maguire before him, Garfield's time as Peter Parker didn't exactly end on a high note. However, both actors were given a second chance when they joined Tom Holland in 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Talking to Esquire, Garfield admitted he was "left dangling" when The Amazing Spider-Man 3 was shelved and said his MCU debut "was really healing for me."

As for whether he'd be open to reprising the role again, he revealed, "For sure, I would 100 percent come back if it was the right thing, if it’s additive to the culture, if there’s a great concept or something that hasn’t...

Andrew Garfield starred as Spider-Man in The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014). While the franchise didn’t achieve massive popularity during his tenure, he performed well in the role, which delighted fans when he appeared alongside Tom Holland and Tobey Maguire in No Way Home.

With Spider-Man 4 on the horizon and strong rumors suggesting a multiversal storyline, fans are buzzing with speculation about Garfield potentially returning to reprise his iconic role.

A few weeks ago, Garfield dismissed the rumors, urging fans not to believe everything they read online. However, given his history of misleading statements about his Spider-Man role, it’s safe to say that not many took him at his word.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the actor appeared to drop additional hints about his potential appearance in the upcoming Spider-Man film.

Garfield discussed his latest project, We Live in Time, and confirmed...

Andrew Garfield portrayed Spider-Man in ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ (2012) and ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’ (2014). Although the franchise was never massively popular while he was leading it, he was decent enough in the role which is why fans were extremely happy to see him in ‘No Way Home’ along with Tom Holland and Tobey Maguire.

Now that ‘Spider-Man 4’ is on the horizon and it’s heavily rumored to be a multiversal story, fans have been speculating that the actor might once again return to reprise his role.

Several weeks ago, Garfield debunked the rumors, telling fans not to believe everything they see online, but let’s be honest knowing his track record with lying about Spider-Man role, no one 100 % believed him.

Now in his latest interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the actor seemingly dropped more hints that he will appear in the upcoming ‘Spider-Man’ flick.

Garfield talked about his latest movie ‘We Live in Time,...
