Sony had to know that people were going to be upset about Spider-Man not being a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe anymore, but they likely had no idea just how bad the backlash would be. An online petition started just a couple of days ago to bring the web-slinger back to the MCU has already amassed over eighty thousand signatures from angry fans. At this rate, it could crack a million before the month is over.
Twitter is not happy with Sony right now. Following the company's extremely unpopular split with Marvel Studios, the fate of Spider-Man is currently up in the air. What we know for sure is that the web-head will no longer be a part of the MCU and fans aren't taking the news lightly. Already, they've caused the corporation's stock to tank, as well as taken to social media to encourage a boycott of everything Sony-related. Now, users are imploring someone to rescue their beloved superhero with #SaveSpiderMan, which is currently among the top trends on Twitter.
Regardless of your opinion on the matter, we can all agree that it's definitely not a good time to be Sony. By now, just about everyone's heard that Spider-Man will no longer be a part of the MCU following a rift between the aforementioned company and Marvel Studios. The latter is no longer allowed to produce movies with Peter Parker in them and now everyone's pointing the finger at the multinational conglomerate.
Despite rumors that it's been cancelled, the Joker and Harley Quinn movie is very much alive at Warner Bros. According to our sources - the same ones who told us Ewan McGregor is returning to the role of Obi-Wan, and that Robert Pattinson will be the next Batman, both of which have been confirmed - the flick is currently still in development. While this doesn't completely ensure that the film will ever see the light of the day, it also means that it hasn't been shelved yet.
Keanu Reeves is really having himself a hot boy summer. John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum is arguably the best of the franchise so far, the long-awaited Bill & Ted Face the Music is currently underway and the Internet has once again remembered how much they love America's favorite action star. Now it's been announced that Matrix 4 is officially happening with Reeves once again reprising his most iconic role as Neo.
It's always tough to rewrite history, especially when many of the key players who took part in those events are still alive. It's clear that Quentin Tarantino dramatically altered a lot of what really happened in his new movie Once Upon a Time In Hollywood and while some aren't too pleased with the liberties he took, most critics and fans agree that it's one of his all-time best projects.
One of the many great things that the Halloween franchise does right is the way the series constantly brings back actors to reprise their roles. This allows audiences to steadily build a connection with these characters, making their grisly deaths even more impactful if/when they occur. For example, Danielle Harris has popped up in four installments, while the late Donald Pleasance is credited in five. Plenty of former Halloween performers, including Harris, have made it clear that they'd love to reappear in the upcoming sequels as well and according to Tom Atkins, Charles Cyphers may be the next to get that opportunity.
Even those who don't like Star Wars can likely quote many of the iconic lines, name several of the legendary characters and give a basic plot summary of at least one of the movies. The intergalactic series is arguably the most prominent cinematic franchise in the American public's mind, but according to a poll on Twitter it's not the most popular. That distinction belongs to The Lord of the Rings.
Last week we found out that an extended director's cut of The Haunting of Hill House is coming exclusively to Blu-Ray soon. The news was enough to get plenty of fans excited, despite the lack of any concrete details. More information about the highly-anticipated release has now been made public though and it's sure to make those who loved the first season even more eager to get their hands on this edition.
Jamie Lloyd has had an even tougher time in the Halloween franchise than her mother. After anchoring the series for several installments, Laurie Strode's daughter was abruptly killed very early on in Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers. There were narrative reasons for this, of course, but it turns out that there are even more prominent factors contributing to actress Danielle Harris being erased from the franchise.
