Vin Diesel has extended the most unlikely of olive branches to former Fast & Furious co-star Dwayne Johnson, which comes months after the erstwhile Luke Hobbs severed ties with the main timeline of the action franchise, driven largely by his complete and utter lack of enthusiasm at the prospect of working with Diesel ever again.
With just a few weeks to go until the movie's release on December 17, Sony and Marvel Studios finally debuted the first official poster from Spider-Man: No Way Home last night. As you'd expect, the internet isn't talking about anything else, with every corner of the one-sheet being zoomed in and examined in great detail.
Even though fences appeared to have been mended in public, recent developments indicated that the feud between Fast & Furious stars Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel was far from over.
As is to be expected from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the nuts and bolts of Spider-Man: No Way Home remain a tightly-guarded secret, but star Tom Holland is doing his best to keep the one-man hype campaign alive and well until the cast and crew can actually start diving into specifics.
Ever since Spider-Man: No Way Home was awarded an official title and multiversal synopsis, Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin was instantly named as one of the most likely returnees from the ghosts of franchises past.
It was James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy that brought the first mention of Celestials in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, tying the all-powerful beings directly to the creation of the Infinity Stones, but the deities didn't play much of a part in the franchise after that. At least, until Eternals arrived in theaters on Friday.
You've got to take the good with the bad at the box office, especially with the pandemic still having a detrimental effect on business across the board, so the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Eternals shouldn't be viewed as anything other than a massive success after its first weekend in theaters.
While the movie didn't have much of a presence at last month's DC FanDome virtual event, Patty Jenkins and Lynda Carter did briefly show up to confirm that Wonder Woman 3 was moving forward, which wouldn't have come as much of a surprise to anyone when it was initially fast-tracked into development just days after 1984 was released.
While it would be very foolish to write any project off as unnecessary before we know anything about it, never mind getting the opportunity to actually clap our eyes on it firsthand, there's an underlying feeling that a sequel to Gladiator doesn't really need to exist.
