Producer Amy Pascal confirmed Tom Holland’s Spider-Man is set to return to the MCU following Spider-Man: No Way Home, however, things got a little more complicated as “Sony insiders” quickly responded saying nothing yet was confirmed. We dissect exactly what happened, and what we think comes next.

Sean shouting MINORITY REPORT at the end all by himself is hilarious :))

I’ve watched Power of the Dog twice. The second go is a completely different experience. The pace makes more sense when you’re not waiting for something. It’s assured. Confident. Thanks for the Rocchi chat and mentioning that he was from Canada!

Roman showing up and making the interview a lot more chaotic really made my day haha. It's nice to see something this casual in the midst of a more formal interview haha. Camille Griffin seems to be super lovely. West Side Story might also have a tough sell in Ansel Elgort because he's...controversial, to put it mildly. Him staying on might turn people off too.

(typing this before I'm done watching) Just got my booster so I'm fully ready for the meetup in DC for the 200th episode that is definitely 100% happening for sure ;)

Looking forward to 'Silent Night', from the trailers it looks like I'm going to love it! Great to hear you guys loved it, raises the bar :-)

[@tomhahnl1927]

I am not a big Musical-Fan, BUT after the first Teaser from West Side Story I was sold, going to watch this one for sure!

It's been awhile but Jake's Texan makes an appearance (58:31), howdy

[@m.h706]

The Power of The dog is a masterpiece. nothing less

That was such a funny and fun interview with Camille! Such a funny person and exciting person to interview. About Spiderman, i wish they just didnt say anything about new movies or such. So that us fans dont need to be reminded of 'oh there's more movies coming with tom holland' when we see No Way Home. Like how we thought Thor Ragnarok is Chris Hems' last Thor movie, but after endgame they have Thor4, which is unexpected since most of avengers cast solo movies has been trilogy. Seeing Endgame, i dont mind either of not having more Chris Hems' Thor, but Marvel Studio did it and it was a great surprise! i hope that was what will happen to Spiderman after No Way Home, but nah Pascal needs to ruin it. Also, im always a fan of Tom holland's spidey, but my feelings of more movies of spiderman with Tom Holland is like Kevin's feeling of Harrison Ford with Indiana Jones 5, like... Do we really need it? What story out there that actually need more spiderman movies with Tom Holland? If they change it to Miles Morales, it will be much more interesting and logical, young avengers are around the corner it seems, Miles will be a great addition!

Let's go!!! To James Rocchi

[@KeiNakagawa7]

To James Rocchi. :)

[@ARBLACKx]

Easy money for Sony if they make Spider-Man 4 with Tobey and TASM3 with Garfield.

[@TheMonwinzz]

Also another thought i have, i wish they didnt do this exisiting venom to MCU type too often. Like, if they gonna make XMen, i wish they actually recast & have new actors for the part, instead of getting the old casts, same with F4, I kinda wish Venom too.

Around 19 minutes the Director gives away the Twist (with the Cursing and Coca-Cola Comments)

[@kommandantklink5032]

Musicals are not my cup of tea. I won't be seeing West Side story in theater. Also I am not a fan of remakes and I wonder how much the name Spielberg resonates with audiences these days? Like most people I am really looking forward to seeing Spider-Man No Way Home and also The Matrix Resurrections and Nightmare Alley.
