I could have sworn they already said this was a new trilogy

Holland isn't technically signed for anymore solo Spider-Man movies, and Holland + Tom Rothman (the head of Sony) have only recently said a fifth solo movie is happening, just not anytime soon. Maybe someone at some point said something about wanting a new trilogy, but it hasn't been officially named as part of any plans so far.

I don't know how successful a Miles Morales focused live action Spiderman will do. The Spiderverse movies just feel so different from a standard Spiderman movie, to me. I wouldn't see me loving them as much if they weren't animated. The animation and what is possible with animation is really one of the biggest reasons I think those movies are so special.

ETA: Granted, audiences may just be ready for something that isn't a rehashing of the Peter Parker mythos, so who's to say.

Again, Holland has straight up said they're eventually handing the franchise off to Miles. That said, I still think Holland has two more solo Spider-Man movies in him before that happens. I think they're going to do a clean two trilogies.


I'm uneducated here.

Is there something lore-wise that precludes the simultaneous existence of the Holland Spiderman and the Miles Morales Spiderman?

Nothing lore-wise that I know of, it just sounds like they don't want to have two live-action Spider-Man franchises running at the same time.

I get loving the Spider-verse films, but I don't get the urgency or allure of passing things off to Miles. Or really Miles in general. We just got through the high school and rookie superhero arcs, why do we want to go back already? Plus Peter has lore reasons to interact with the Avengers or Daredevil (potentially) or Punisher, and now mutants.

I'd save Miles for when things have gotten stale, or perhaps for Adult Peter to take Miles under his wing ( la PS4 Spider-Man). But handing the reins off, I couldn't be less interested right now, personally.

If we're talking two more Holland solo Spider-Man movies, none of this would happen until, like, 2032 at the earliest, if not 2034 or so, and then the first Miles movie wouldn't happen until the mid-to-late-2030s. Even if only one more Holland Spider-Man movie, it'd be another six or seven years or so from now until Miles has his own movie.

Bull****

Also you can drive a car into a crowd to go save your sister in a burning fire on the other side

Doesn't change the fact that if people got out of the way that you did intend to harm some people along the way


Which is fine. Make it a character development point where Charles talks to her about the value of life and proper use of her powers

There's a variety of stories with them working both together and solo in the comics, they could spin that pretty much any way they wanted (no pun intended).

I think TC's observation of not wanting two Spider-Man franchises is the simple answer there.

No matter which direction they choose to go, my favorite Spiderman will always be Jake Johnson.

During the fight with the Hand, he flipped to the ceiling and was fighting from there.

I can't remember seeing that previously. Lots of stuff from the walls or falling debris or crawling on the ceiling but I can't remember seeing everything become inverted and still fighting

My memory is **** on a good day though. I could be wrong.

And yes, the Hand was a strange choice of villain but the red robes were more visually appealing than the usual bad guy attire.

He should hire Tom Cruise to screen his calls.

The guy hit by a car definitely died, no way he survived that.

That guy was shown alive and well during the end credits. And plus people get hit by cars like that all the time in real life with a significant percentage actually surviving.

Lol, Ok, lets assume he did survive...that completely erases the intent behind her making him step into traffic? And everything else she did? So, if you're not successful in trying to kill someone, or if you put someone in extreme danger and gravely harm them but they luckily survive, then you're innocent of any charges?

Or we can simply agree that Marvel and the screenwriters were playing very loosely with morality in this movie. Its no big deal, just a comic book movie in a cinematic universe that's been playing loose with morality for a while now. It was still an enjoyable movie.

Here are some thoughts... the movie isn't just about Peter. Jean (who I keep wanting to call Max) is an angry kid who is pushing the limits of right and wrong to get what she wants (or fighting to save her sister). Insert the Punisher, who literally kills every problem in his way. In his attempt to kill Jean, Peter demonstrates what kind of hero he is and it kind of opens a different world for Jean. Peter fights for what is right without threatening anyone's life. Jean was fighting for her version of right, but going about things in a punisher-esque way. Peter's actions help her think about a different way.

Now, how she gets out of the place and away from any consequences is fair, although her power probably gives her a way to "hide" from observation. I suppose one can argue she has to live with guilt, and maybe that's part of her character in a future xmen movie

I'm also not sure of the legality of a government organization kidnapping and experimenting on an American citizen until their death. It may not justify vigilantism in the eyes of the law but maybe they want to cover up whatever Milchek was up to and just bury this whole thing.

Never said Jean is innocent. Just simply pointing out the facts laid by the movie, so don't shoot the messenger.

With that said, this version of Jean where she is being extremely reckless with her powers putting innocent people in danger at least gives her character some opportunity to actually develop and grow into a much better mutant. And once she does hit her moral peak, it would be much more dramatic for her to be consumed by the Phoenix.

Gotcha, no offense, I just see a lot of people excusing what she did because supposedly no one died. As far as her arc, I would have liked to see her face some actual consequences at the end of the movie but if they show it in the next movie then I'll be satisfied.
