Open Post: Hosted By Jeff Goldblum’s Wondrous Response To The Spider-Man Mess
While pushing his new Disney+ docu-series The World According to Jeff Goldblum at D23 Expo over the weekend, Jeff Goldblum acted like he found out about Spider-Man possibly leaving the Marvel Cinematic Universe from a reporter for a Variety. Just like his shirt, Jeff took us through a roller coaster of emotions from confused to crestfallen before gracefully crash-landing by speaking (maybe?) Italian. It’s everything you could hope for from a Jeff Goldblum interaction.
Stan Lee’s Daughter Is Siding With Sony In The “Spider-Man” Debacle
Stan Lee‘s daughter apparently has some words about this whole Spider-Man thing going on. Now that Sony and Marvel are in a pissing match about who can make more money off of a narrative universe that neither of them are even remotely responsible for creating, Joan Celia Lee (called JC because no one wants to be called Joan Celia) has decided to raise her hand with an opinion. I mean, she’s the daughter of the great Stan Lee who actually was responsible for the creation of the character of Spider-Man–so she must have insight, right? Well… maybe… maybe not.
Sony Might Pull Spider-Man From The Marvel Cinematic Universe
Back in 2009, Disney bought Marvel Entertainment for about $4 billion. However, Marvel Entertainment didn’t own all the Marvel properties that got turned into movies. For example, the X-Men are Marvel properties, but 21st Century Fox owns the X-Men film franchise. Disney also owns Fox, but I’m sure you see my point here. Sony has owned the Spider-Man film franchise since 2002’s Spider-Man. Sony isn’t connected in any way with Disney, which makes this situation potentially very messy. Variety reports that Sony and Disney have been negotiating new financing terms for future Spider-Man movies, but negotiations have stalled. And here’s why the nerd tears started falling.
“Spider-Man” Tom Holland Has A Girlfriend
We may never know if Tom Holland and Zendaya were ever really a thing, or it was all a PR stunt. Whatever it was, it’s over, and Tom is now shooting his spider-goo all over somebody’s else’s chest. Tom’s got himself an extra regular girlfriend named Olivia Bolton who’s been friends with his family “for years”. Now, I’m not saying there’s anything contractual about this union, but I am saying this romance seems about as organic as that Flaming Hot Cheetos sandwich from KFC.
According to The Sun, “Tom’s been dogged with rumours about who he’s dating so finally being public with Olivia has been a massive relief for him”, a perfectly normal reason for a 23-year-old burgeoning mega-star to date someone who looks like she could be his sister. Maybe Zendaya, the Little Disney Kid Who Could (Do Coke On TV), was a little too spicy/Mechee for Tom/his publicist.
Open Post: Hosted By Jake Gyllenhaal’s First Instagram Post
It used to be that if you wanted to see new pictures of semi-private person Jake Gyllenhaal, you’d have to wait for a movie premiere, or pap shots captured during filming, or whenever he decides to date another famous person. Jake didn’t do social media before, but he does now, thanks to a role in the upcoming Spider-Man movie.
Originality Is Over: Spider-Man Is Tapping Mary Jane Again
The only thing that’s more exhausted than a casino cocktail waitress when I’m at the penny slots (heyyyy, big spendahhhhh!) is the Spider-Man franchise. So it only makes sense this Spider-Man media tour would also reboot the old “the co-stars might be dry humping” story. People reports Spider-Man: Homecoming star Zendaya is helping co-star Tom Holland shoot more than spiderwebs out of his canister, as the two have been dating while filming.
