Gwenyth Paltrow didn't know she was in Spider-Man: Homecoming. It seems debatable how much actors pay attention to things like whether or not the Spider-Man movie they're making is in the MCU or not.

A lot of big actors don’t watch movies at all or pay attention to the field beyond their own work.

The Sony/Marvel/Disney ownership status of Spidey and associated characters is such a mess I can't blame anyone for thinking Madame Web is part of the MCU. I went to see this last week out of curiosity and it was clearly a movie where, at some point in its creation, it became clear to everyone involved this would be released in theaters no matter what. IP ownership meant it could not be Zaslav'ed no matter what the quality. And it this was the case, it really was not that bad. You rarely get to see a movie in this state of completion in cinemas so it's memorable in that regard.

Actors are hired for being charismatic, good looking, and maybe even good at acting. Knowing anything isn't a requirement. FreudianSlippers fucked around with this message at 17:34 on Feb 26, 2024 |

Please do keep in mind the rumor that the script was originally about the spider-girls having to save baby Spider-Man. Spider-Man is in the MCU, so if they signed up for a Spider-Man prequel it would be completely reasonable for them to believe they were signing up for an MCU movie.

They really should just go ahead and market it as a movie so bad you have to see it. Cats was the best time I ever had at a movie. All of Burbank impromptu'd a packed high/drunk showing and I understand the joy of Rocky Horror Picture Show now.

Madame Web is a Marvel movie. It is a film based on Marvel Comics. I'm sure that if the movie were successful, you'd be seeing these characters again. If it were an Official Marvel Cinematic UniverseTM movie and still did this badly, you probably wouldn't see these characters again.

I could easily see the pitch being "oh yeah trust us Tom Holland will totally turn up in this franchise at some point you really think we're gonna do Spider-man movies with NO spider-man? Cmon" Even venom 2 and Morbius are kinda sorta MCU by virtue of end credits. If we're speculating here I can imagine some exec being so hyped about their idea and the prospect that marvel will HAVE to work with them at some point when they see how gangbusters these movies are doing to believe it's all gonna get folded back in. massive spider fucked around with this message at 17:35 on Feb 26, 2024 |

He thought he was being offered MCU and called Karen Gillan who saud accept its a whole lot if fun not realising they would never overlap. I really like this idea that Sony is trying to run a complicated con to dupe big name actors into appearing in their movies with the 100 million dollar version of A Car's Life.

It's not even that bad a movie by Marvel standards. It's not good but I think the hate's really ratcheted up just off the bad marketing, Morbius anti-hype, and Dakota Johnson's Leonard Part 6 tour.

live with fruit posted:Gwenyth Paltrow didn't know she was in Spider-Man: Homecoming. It seems debatable how much actors pay attention to things like whether or not the Spider-Man movie they're making is in the MCU or not. She's notoriously spacy and was in that movie for like 30 seconds that they almost certainly filmed while she was already on set doing reshoots for some Iron Man or Avengers thing. I'm sure that's happened to more of them than just her too.

I love Kojima but the dude is also a starfucker. So a movie like Argylle - aka one that is directly attributed to a "single visionary" - is probably not going to be something he criticizes.

Dakota Johnson can't fake itquote:Have the last two weeks been weird? A lot has happened since I saw you playing with baby animals on set for the shoot. I didn't have any particular opinion on Dakota Johnson beforehand but her complete lack of shits given in the wake of this movie is very endearing to me.

I hope whatever she does next does well, because it really does seem like she just got roundly hosed by the whole process of making this.

I wonder if actors in her position feel like they just missed their shot by a few years. Like, Anne Hathaway was an indie darling and then played Catwoman and that certainly didn't hurt her, whereas now people are tired of (or at least used to) superhero movies and the ones coming out are pieces of poo poo. This is kind of a different case because come on, she starred in all three Fifty Shades movies.
