Tom Holland’s Spider-Man sounds like he’s in trouble, as two theoretical titles for the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Spider-Man 3 is any indication.
Announced on Holland’s Instagram, one title is for the third installment of the Marvel-Sony franchise Spider-Man: Telephone House. The subtitle is in line with the high school theme Homecoming and European holidays continue Far from home, creating even more distance from Peter Parker’s home in New York City. (Also good ET nod.)
But wait … is that the title?
In a separate report, coster Jacob Batalon quietly shared another of the set with a else title treatment. Get ready for … Spider-Man: Home-Wrecker?
Based on cast reports that have not yet been technically confirmed by Marvel Studios or Sony Pictures, Spider-Man 3 will see Spidey sucked up in the multiverse. Holland and Batalon’s title-goof apparently play right in the premise, whether it is legal or not. (Sony could not confirm.) But hey, even though they like Marvel fans, they still delivered a first look at a movie. Something shall glows off the screen in 2021.
The pivot of a real multiverse comes after Mysterio made the world think there are other levels of existence in Far from home … just for audiences to go through a post-credit play by JK Simmons’ J. Jonah Jameson to teach that maybe everything is connected (and that Peter Parker is Spider-Man – but it’s a whole other look at worms). After Evan Peters’ Quicksilver from the Fox X-Men Movies WandaVision A few weeks ago, it seemed like all overarching franchise plans were likely with Marvel Studios re-controlling its properties.
Spider-Man 3 is allegedly moving Doctor Strange to the fatherly role that Tony Stark has filled again Homecoming, and rope in villains from far beyond the MCU – including Jamie Foxx’s Electro from The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Alfred Molina’s Doctor Octopus of Spider-Man 2. There is no formal cast or announcement of a major villain, but rumors have been circulating that series director Jon Watts’ dream of bringing Kraven the Hunter to the screen may come true. (So cross your fingers he hunts Spideys through the multiverse.)
Whatever the doors of the film open to the greater universe, and whatever it is, it also calls it, Spider-Man 3 promises to be the biggest installment of MCU Spider-Man yet. “The film is incredibly ambitious, and I’m glad to say we’m getting it right,” Holland recently said. Yahoo. “It’s going really well. We watched a fight scene we shot a few weeks ago, and I’ve never seen such a fight scene in the MCU. I am very excited for the audience to see it. ”
Spider-Man: Telephone House / House Destroyer, which is currently being filmed at Marvel’s home base in Atlanta, Georgia, is again directed by Watts, who has the rare honor of helping each episode of a single MCU hero franchise (and he will perform again for a non-Sony Marvel movie, Fantastic Four, in the not so distant future). Like the entire Marvel movie calendar over the past year, the availability of theater and the reopening of the state between the COVID pandemic may change plans quickly, but for now, Spider-Man: Telephone House / House Destroyer was released on December 17, 2021. At the very least, Sony and Disney have actually managed to reach an agreement to make it happen in the first place.
