Spider-Man: Homecoming definitely isn't crawling in the box office. Surprising analysts with a domestic $117 Million, this thing has definitely marked the successful return of the web-head. What's next in store for Spidey though? A lot's came out since the films release. In an interview with Marvel Head Kevin Feige, when asked about the July 5, 2019 sequel date, he replied, "We are looking at a five-movie storyline: Civil War, Homecoming, Avengers: Infinity War, untitled Avengers, Homecoming 2, or whatever we end up calling it, as an amazing five-story journey for Peter Parker. In the way that the events of Civil War directly inform the opening of Homecoming & his state of mind as he goes back to high school, so too will the events of the next two Avengers movies as he continues with high school. This original 22-movie arc ends with the untitled Avengers in May of 2019 & then two months later it will be Peter & Spider-Man (on July 5, 2019) that usher us into the aftermath & how things proceed from there." How awesome is that? Not only does the 22-movie arc end with the 4th Avengers, but Spider-Man will not only deal with the aftermath 2 months later, it will also start what's next to come. With the Marvel Cosmic universe jumping off with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, that prompted the next question asking what that might entail? To which Feige stayed vague with, "More places to tell stories, more characters to tell stories with. Certainly those stories connect, as we'll see with Infinity War in a very big way. Whatever happens with Vol. 3 & beyond remains to be seen." It sounds to me like they might not be on paper, but there are definitely some plans for Spider-Man even post Homecoming 2. We'll just have to wait & see on that though. More for the future of the wall-crawler comes with some Blu-Ray release news. I thought one of the funniest parts of Spider-Man Homecoming were the Captain America PSAs. Now I'm hearing there are a lot more of those, & not only that, but we're going to get to see them all. The John Campea Vlog says these extras will be available on the Blu-Ray release Homecoming. Like I said, I loved these. They're Captain America being the all-American boy scout, & doing his part to help shape the minds of America's youth. They feel like a play out of Stan Lee's book with just the right amount of "corn". Yet, still fitting the character perfectly. I can't wait to see the rest of these. Two more things have come to light, one being a little "spoilery". I'll start with the first small bit from Cinema Blend. Isabella Amara, Sally Avril of Spider-Man: Homecoming, will be joining the cast of Avengers: Infinity War. She's only back for the first, but in Spidey comics lore her character eventually becomes Bluebird. Obviously not saying this will happen, but they've gotta have some sort of plans for her character right? The last piece of friendly neighborhood news is a little bit of a spoiler I guess, if knowing future names bother you. If so skip the rest of this. Zendaya's character Michelle drops the line in the end of Homecoming that her friends call her MJ. Much like it tends to do the internet exploded. If her initials are MJ, that has to stand for Mary Jane right? Not according to Kevin Feige. He told Den of Geek, "In setting up this will be a very different thing, she's not Mary Jane Watson, that's not who the character is. But giving her the initials that remind you of that dynamic certainly is intriguing about what could go forward." He added more to IGN. In which he said, "We never even looked at it as a big reveal necessarily but more of just a fun homage to his past adventures & his past love. She's not Mary Jane Watson." He adds, there are big reveals in the movie. That's not one of them." Talking future he goes on, "Is she going to date Peter? Are they going to fall in love? She seems to be intrigued with him. There's a nice chemistry there. Who knows what will happen in future films?" I've been saying from the jump initials are just initials. I didn't even think this a big deal when I heard it. It doesn't get more spelled out than that though. She's not Mary Jane. If they want to go different directions with this one they should. I think it's funny how you hear things from the comic circle like, they should use Miles Morales. However, if you change any little aspect of the Parker story you're wrong for that. As long as Peter gets bit by a spider giving him spider-powers, has web-shooters, & annoys the bad guys with his constant quips, I'm almost open to anything else being changed up. As long as they just keep giving us good movies. Wow, I know that was a lot to take in, but let me know your thoughts down below in the comments. Then don't forget to like & share.
