With the conclusion of the last film FAR FROM HOME (2019) literally jeopardising Peter Parker’s double life, SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME (‘NWH’) creates the most turmoil for the long-suffering young superhero. NWH picks up where the last film left off, and with the whole world now privy to his secret identity Peter Parker has the unenviable task of balancing this revelation as well as its impacts on those nearest and dearest to him.
Gamers who find their home on Playstation consoles are no strangers to Uncharted. The action adventure series produced by Naughty Dog stars Nathan Drake as he travels the globe in search of adventure and lost treasures. Starting with the original game on the Playstation 3 console, the series has met great success and critical accolades. Over 41 million copies of Uncharted games have been sold across Playstation 3, Vita, Playstation 4, mobile and PC platforms, and has also featured comic books, a tabletop game, and a novel. Soon, a film will be added to that list!
Having earned their audience acclaim with Marvel’s movie franchises in the last seven years, directing duo Joe and Anthony Russo have since garnered plenty of clout as a producing powerhouse for hit films to this day.
This one took some several years to finally see the light of day what with reshoots and scheduling among actors being a factor. Alas, Doug Liman’s newest thriller has arrived with a first trailer for Chaos Walking, and it looks all kinds as epic as YA sci-fi fans might expect. Release date is pending.
Slated for a July 16, 2021 release from Sony, director Ruben Fleischer is currently at the helm for Uncharted, based on the hit game franchise from Naughty Dog, and both the studio, and actor Tom Holland, took to their platforms to reveal a first look at the lead character. The Wrap reported more details as follows:
With Chris Evans now bowing out due to scheduling, Antonio Campos (The Sinner, Christine) is set to direct The Devil All The Time with actor Tom Holland now joined by his fellow Marvel MCU headliner, Sebastian Stan, in place of Evans. Campos will direct from a script penned by himself and co-scribe Paulo Campos, based on Donald Ray Pollock’s 2011 novel of the same name and with principal photography slated for Alabama next month.
With a cast annouced as of late, Antonio Campos (The Sinner, Christine) is set to direct The Devil All The Time. Campos will direct from a script penned by himself and co-scribe Paulo Campos, based on Donald Ray Pollock’s 2011 novel of the same name and with principal photography slated for Alabama next month.
Long since proving his mettle in the last several MCU movies, Tom Holland is officially back once again per the upcoming release of Spider-Man: Far From Home, and I’m no comic book buff so between this and Infinity War, I’m all but lost.
Leaving his Irish monastery for the first time, a young novice (Holland) departs with a devoted group of monks and a mysterious former Crusader (Bernthal) as they attempt to transport a holy relic to Rome. Threatened at every turn by savage tribes, traitorous Norman soldiers and those that seek the power they believe the relic holds, the young man finds surprising courage while faced with deadly challenges that will push his body, mind and spirit to the breaking point.
We’ve got more than a month until Jon Watts’s Spider-Man: Homecoming opens in theaters and so Sony Pictures has plenty of time and opportunity to make its case. The only minor downside is that apparently Wonder Woman is the most anticipated superhero film of the summer, which is great for Warner Bros.’s still-fledgeling DC cinematic foray, and for a film that’s already rating higher than expected among early viewers.
While Sony Pictures ramps up Jon Watts’s forthcoming release of Spider-Man: Homecoming, apparently the studio isn’t making light of its current opportunity with the long-awaited the development of Naughty Dog game adaptation, Uncharted. Apparently following a screening of the new Marvel movie reboot, studio chief Tom Rothman is keen on hoisting actor Tom Holland to take the mantle in a younger version of game character Nathan Drake.
Incidentally, the film will take its cues from the third installment of the uncharted franchise, Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception (2011) in which young Drake, years before he became the infamous treasure hunter of the franchise, crosses paths with Victor “Sully” Sullivan who would become Drake’s best friend and mentor. Charles Roven, Avi Arad, Alex Gartner and Ari Arad are producing the film from a new script pending the attachment of a new writer following that of Joe Carnahan and Eric Warren Singer among several others.

The film is poised for its day at the Tribeca Film Festival before heading to a limited theatrical release on August 11 courtesy of RLJ Entertainment.
I grew pretty fatigued in the months before and after Sony’s 2014 attempt at a summer sequel with Marvel wall crawler, Spider-Man, and before I go any further, I still am, sort of. All of the tedious energy it takes to cover comic book movies – from micro updates on images to casting announcements and confirmations is why I largely don’t cover comic book movies as much as I’d like to, and especially with all of the developments there were at the time for actor Andrew Garfield’s succession into battling the Sinister Six along with the studio’s further push for a possible female Spider-man project in the works.
Thus, and in the spirit of togetherness following last year’s post Sony e-mail hacking updates, we’ve mostly scratched all of that for the time being and largely in part due to the spotlight now on actor Tom Holland who has been more than enthusiastic on social about his place in the current Marvel universe as the friendly neighborhood web-flinger prior to his debut in this year’s Captain America: Civil War. He proved himself then, though now as a solo act (with the exception of Robert Downey Jr. further setting the table as billionaire Avenger Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man), Holland now takes the stage in director Jon Watt’s Spider-Man: Homecoming, as our hero tries to balance out life as a high school student in Queens, New York City, and as a superhero in the making opposite. Actor Michael Keaton trades in the wings of Batman and Birdman for that of supervillain, Vulture, among the film’s other antagonists.
The beautiful Marissa Tomei also returns as Aunt May from Civil War, joining a cast that rounds out with Donald Glover, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Tyne Daly and Bokeem Woodbine. Spider-Man: Homecoming, which premiered its first official trailer late Thursday evening on Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show on ABC is online ahead of its July 7 release.
