Talk about bitter Where'd the money go? Everywhere The stock price rose 36% the past year. Clear in the open for everyone to see. Maybe it went to the Mandalorian, which is the biggest show in the world despite Disney + not being a global service yet (and despite the 'death of SW lol) Also, when you make populast films and have a core history of making animation, why would an oscar be a consideration when those aren't the type of films that usually get noms (aside from the animation catagory)? Instead they settle for being more successful and buying studios whose films are 'worthy' of 7000 voters. Glad you are all on the side of elitists rather then the people who vote with their wallets. A ridiculous leap on my part (?), just like your 'pride' remark which isn't nearly as important to the fandom as you'd like to project The fact is that Sony's studio division has been rumored to be on the block for years now, with even the new CEO questioning if they have the scale to not be gobbled up. Let's just stick to facts and try not to act childish about posters on a CBM board wanting Spider-Man to return to the biggest ongoing franchise in cinematic history. What else would you expect? I don't need Spidey to return as an absolute, but I'm more then comfortable either way. I doubt Sony relinquishes said rights as long as the film division is owned by it's HQ in Japan, but giving up the merch revenue definitely killed the significant leverage they had. That was more desperation then being played. Under different leadership that decision may not have been made, which Sony has publicly regretted. dragonking2:cc Pu7pl3 4 Likes 1 Share |

Ok. I take back what I said about Sony selling Spider-Man, but outside Spider-Man, Sony really don’t have much going for them. They’re pretty lacking overall of reliably successful IP. Men In Black flopped, so did Ghostbusters(it’s a coin toss if the reboot this year will be successful) and they don’t have Bond anymore. Not to mention Charlie’s Angels was a massive failure. Jumanji is really all that they have outside Spider-Man. Last year was a pretty good year for them since Brightburn and Once Upon In Hollywood, and of course Jumanji performed well, and thanks to Disney/Marvel’s help they managed to get a movie that to the billion dollar finish line with Far From Home but doesn’t escape the fact they don’t have much going for them in terms of major franchises at the moment. Compare that to Disney which has had an embarrassment of riches when it comes to big IP that consistently delivers even outside the MCU. They have Star Wars & Pixar which you can make dozens of movies out of and literally made them billions of dollars, and even their live-action remakes like Lion King and Aladdin have been incredibly successful and also joined the billion dollar club. pu7pl3: 1 Like |

I'm not sure Spiderman would be considered big after getting Fox Studios. Plus Spidey kind of falls under Marvel. I think Sony is going to wake up and end up selling Spidey back to Disney. They just don't have to much going on for them right now. Cottonmouth: |

Nope. Daniel Radcliffe looks too soft for the role. Now I've always pictured someone like Joel Edgerton for Wolverine. nani667: |

if it were up to me, I wouldn’t waste a lot of money on anybody. In Hollywood, I don’t believe salary equates to talent and going for a big name greatly reduces the pool of actors. Most of the fan casting I see online leaves me cold, and I think that’s because nearly everyone is looking at the small group of well known actors. Jon Hamm, in the first season of Madmen, would have made a great Reed, but he’s too old now. But there’s a 35 year old unknown actor out there right now who is as good or better.
