Talk about bitter grin


Where'd the money go? Everywhere cheesy

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 cheesy


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:


Let me point out some facts for you;

Sony has the number 1 prize in terms of marvel and that's spiderman.

Sony just made Venom-verse a hit even without spiderman and under heavy negative criticism from mcu critics/stans.

Also, Sony's Spiderman has always made money, irrespective of what the media wants you to believe....Disney tricked them for creative assistance to get merch sales rights, that which they regret now.

Jumaji is highly successful and known as the Star wars killer/crippler....OUATIH is a financial and critical hit.... It also has huge chances at the oscars unlike Disney that has relatively few chances with the exception of the animations.

Apart from remakes, Disney had nothing, that's why they needed to buy the likes of Pixar, Marvel, Fox, Lucas to stay alive. Big fact!!!

Recently, Sony just purchased the rights to some valiant comic characters like Bloodshot etc.

With the right directors/producers and good script, they can also use these newly acquired comic characters and cause some threat to the MCU/DCEU....The Boys series by amazon is a perfect example.

They did brightburn which is a rip-off superman in another level and people loved it. They are making a sequel to this film.

They have a lot of original movies like escape room which people are waiting for a sequel.

Their originality is what makes them to be amongst the fore runners during awards season.

Finally, IMO sony's spiderman is the major reason Marvel has always been on the oscars board. (Forget about the political award given to BP last year)

Sony has always brought pride to marvel and its fans in respects to awards season, something that alludes Disney's marvel...Bitter pill to swallow but true.

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.

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.

Disney Not Planning Another Marvel or Star Wars-Level Acquisition Anytime Soon

“Well, I never say never,” Iger told BBC Radio’s The Media Show when asked if he might broker another mega-acquisition before his contract expires at the end of 2021. “But I think given the fact we’ve only recently made a big one [Fox], and we’re still absorbing that, and given the fact that I don’t have much time left in this role, I think it’s probably unlikely that another big one occurs.”

https://comicbook.com/movies/2019/11/02/disney-not-planning-another-marvel-star-wars-level-acquisition-purchase-ceo-bob-iger-exit/?

sounds like we're going to have to wait maybe till 2021 at least to see if Disney makes a play for Spider-Man. Would Spider-Man be considered "another big one"?

Nope. Daniel Radcliffe looks too soft for the role.

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.

Cottonmouth:

With Ben Grimm you just need a great voice. He's probably going to be CGI so why waste a lot of money for a guy who will be on the screen for like what, 30 minutes?

IAmSabrina:
Among the new actors in the MCU among the movies and Disney+ shows, which ones will be the breakout stars of Phase 5? It doesn't have to be one as it can be many. Example is Black Panther. Many thought that the breakout star of Black Panther was Letitia Wright and are waiting to see what Shuri does next in BP2. Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Liz Olsen, Sebastian Stan....all became household names because of the MCU.

Who will that be for Phase 5? My picks are Simu Liu and Teyonah Parris (all depending upon how big her role in the MCU is going to be and I think it'll be a significant one). I had seen Teyonah before in a lot of stuff and I knew who she was and I had seen Simu Liu in the Taken series, but the MCU is a big deal.
