Could specified a movie really happen?

Holland is presently filming for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is acceptable for merchandise adjacent year.

But we cognize Maguire’s Spider-Man has a spot successful the MCU aft his cameo successful 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, which made astir $2 cardinal astatine the planetary container office. After the nonaccomplishment of Sony's Spider-Man Universe, possibly the institution volition look to the past arsenic it seeks inspiration for aboriginal projects.

And there’s nary existent crushed 2 abstracted Spider-Man films with 2 antithetic actors could coexist. Indeed, that’s precisely the concern the DC Universe faces, with Robert Pattinson playing Batman successful Matt Reeves’ Batman Epic Crime Saga, and DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn connected the hunt for an histrion to play Batman successful his The Brave and the Bold movie. With Spider-Man, though, there’s imaginable for the 2 to crossover arsenic portion of ongoing multiverse shenanigans.

Whatever the "politics," it sounds similar it volition beryllium immoderate clip earlier we perceive much connected whether Tomlin is successful. He aboriginal tweeted: "If that ever happens, it’s decidedly not going to beryllium this year! Hollywood is sloooooooooooow!"

In the shorter term, Tomlin is moving connected the John Wick Caine spinoff, adaptations of Keanu Reeves’ BRZRKR comic-book series, and of people The Batman 2.
