YES! 14,000,005 times yes!!
On the other hand, this doesn't at all sound like the John Wick 3 style Spider-Man I was hoping for. Unless it's John Wick 3 style, Spidey vs. everybody but with a multiverse twist. That could be epic. People be asking what the MCU could possibly do next? The possibilities just keep getting more ridiculous... but in a good way.

Alfred Molina, Andrew Garfield, and Kirsten Dunst set to reprise their roles: www.cbr.com/spider-man-3-doctor-octopus-alfred-molina/www.cbr.com/spider-man-3-andrew-garfield-kirsten-dunst/With Tobey Maguire and Emma Stone also rumored, Spider-Verse seems confirmed. While it does seem exciting to have all the movie Spideys together and I trust Marvel, I feel it's Sony that could wreck this. They've shown before how they've tried to cash in on what's popular at the moment, and it seems they want to recapture the animated film's success in live action. And after the drama between studios last year, Sony may have more pull compared to the previous two films and I wonder if this was what Marvel intended for the third one. I don't know, maybe I'm just overworrying, particularly that Tom will be overshadowed by his predecessors. On another note, considering we have Foxx's Electro for Andrew and Molina's Ock for Tobey, I gotta wonder who Tom's new nemesis will be for the film.

I'm definitely excited, but right now this doesn't seem like the right time. Far From Home opened the door for a bare bones, Spider-Man on the run, versus everybody, John Wick 3 kind of vibe. So unless they're like, Spider-Man vs. everybody on a multiversally cosmic scale, this seems like it escalated way too fast.
That said, I am more than eager to see where they take this. On another note, I kind of wish they'd give Raimi an opportunity to do a final Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movie in the same way WB made Superman Returns with Bryan Singer. I didn't like Superman Returns, but they way that they returned to the Richard Donner era, I'd like to see that for the Maguire led franchise even more than I want to see him cross over to be honest. Or maybe I should invoke an else worlds, one off like how Todd Phillips did with Joker, or the way Matt Reeves seems to be doing with his Batman movie. I think it'd be great for them to go back to Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst, they have a daughter like in the comics, and they just do something that's a real love letter to the classic 60s era Spider-Man that Raimi loves.
EDIT: Peter and MJ weren't married in the 60s era and they definitely didn't have a daughter, so maybe not a love letter to that era. Still tho, I'd want them to let Raimi make the movie he would want to make. Matter of fact, I'd like to see him do an adaptation of season 1 of TSSM. That seems like it'd be right up his ally. He could work with the likes of The Enforcers, Hammerhead, Shocker, and the Rhino. Just throw 'em in there and go to town, we accept that these colorful characters exist in the Maguire era Spider-Man.

If anything, Maguire and Garfield's involvement could be Sony's way of giving their versions proper endings, as both of them had their stories cut short due to reboots. In other news, and great news at that, Charlie Cox's Daredevil is reportedly on board. www.cbr.com/spider-man-3-daredevil-charlie-cox/Fingers crossed this will lead to a season four.

Aside from the Maguire Uncle Ben thing, that sounds like a lot of fun. I will say that I never agreed or was a part of the uproar of Sandman being Uncle Ben's real killer. I don't see how that undermines Peter's origin story. Then again, I forgot what the argument was. What's the argument behind that again exactly? Maybe I'd feel differently now. The point is, I wasn't against it when I did know what it was, and I consider myself to be pretty open minded with some liberties being taken to the origin story. On another note...
There's some fan art that has made the rounds depicting Maguire's Spider-man as a war torn veteran. He's bearded and has tired, piercing blue eyes. His eyes kind of reminds me of like a bird of prey that's on its last legs, oddly enough. Anyway, the reason people have Tobey's Spider-man as the war torn veteran is obvious: Tobey is the oldest in real life and in franchise chronology, but... I actually think they should go another direction. That is, IF there is to be a war torn Spider-Man in the bunch (similar to the Spider-verse movie), I think it should be Andrew Garfield.
Raimi has already shown what his version of Peter Parker looks like when he's at his darkest: Bully Maguire from the YouTube edits. Both Raimi and Tobey, while extremely talented, contributed to that ridiculousness. Yes, under the supervision of the MCU and Jon Watts they could redefine the character so that he's similar to the Raimi era Spider-Man but not that version, or that he is the same version but just redefined a la Hemsworth's Thor in Ragnarok. Even still, it makes more sense for Garfield's version to be the war torn fighter. He's the only one who lost both Uncle Ben and a significant other. Even if they went with a version of Garfield that is similar to his Amazing Spider-man portrayal but slightly different, it still makes more sense. His Spider-man was the most emotional, to the point that it was revealed in the Sony leaks that Kevin Feige advised them to nail down Garfield's performance because he was all over the board. I say that while still pushing the notion that Garfield is the most (IMO) talented actor of the Spidey's thus far. Tom Holland Spider-Man obviously won't be the war torn veteran, so that's pretty much the end of my theory crafting on this matter for now.
What say you, contributors, bots and all?

I think the movie will be a lot more focused than we expect. That said, is anyone else excited that we'll finally see some snow in a live action Spidey flick?

Scroll down to the Tom Holland segment variety.com/lists/the-36-most-anticipated-performances-coming-in-2021/tom-holland-spider-man-3/"The meticulous emotion that Tom Holland has brought to our favorite web-slinging superhero has been underappreciated in his first solo outings in “Spider-Man: Homecoming” and “Spider-Man: Far from Home.” In the still-untitled sequel, we are preparing for a different setup and execution to the franchise, which seems similar to what we saw in the animated and Oscar-winning “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.” In an upcoming podcast interview on Variety Awards Circuit, Holland teases and sets our expectations for the film. Look for it on Feb. 4." I will admit, I am a defender of the current run of Spider-man films. While I respect everyone's opinion, especially those of you here on these boards, I disagree with the notion that Spider-Man is Iron Man Jr. I also disagree with the notion that having other characters from the MCU co-star in these Spider-Man productions is proof that Marvel doesn't think Holland can lead a Spidey film on his own. Not everyone is happy with what Holland is bringing to the table, fair enough. There are others who don't have a problem with Holland, but moreso the approach Marvel and Sony are taking with him. Fair play to that as well. I must say though, the entire point of bringing Spider-Man into the MCU was to allow him to operate within that sandbox, where other characters can and will show up. This is what we got for now, and it's different to what we had for 12 years, so I'm all for it while it lasts. To each their own. Now, with that said, this update makes me very happy. I absolutely want to see them take a different approach that feels fresh (within the MCU of course) that may cast a better spotlight in which to showcase Holland's efforts. The kid is a great actor, after all.

Tom Holland Calls 'Spider-Man 3' the Most Ambitious Standalone Superhero Movie Ever Made
Does that include Civil War? Has this kid seen Man of Steel or Aquaman? Do the X-Men or other team superhero movies count, as they are ensemble films? I'm going to take him at his word, but I wonder what he considers standalone? Myself, personally, I would consider the X-Men films standalone, as well as movies like Guardians of the Galaxy vol.1 and 2. Civil War is not a standalone film, so it's hard to determine if he's including that. I'd be surprised if he hadn't seen Black Panther, and that movie is pretty epic. He says this is the most ambitious standalone superhero movie ever made and that they're pulling it off... man. While this is just an opinion of his and we don't know that he's seen all of the aforementioned films (popular as they may be, it' a possibility), this statement has me VERY excited. I mean, it seems that Dr. Strange is supposed to be the grand finale, and though we all expect that to be on a ridiculous scale, this movie being THIS big just begs the question, "How big is Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness" going to be?? Onto the topic at hand, just how big is this movie??
Not going to lie, I was hoping for some sort of a trailer announcement or something, but for as far as non news goes, this pleases me. I'm still hoping for John Wick 3 Spider-Man in the Winter time, on a multi-versal scale. While I like that Spider-Man has Ned and MJ in his corner, and I appreciate that Aunt May knows officially*, I want to see Spider-Man MacGuiver his way through a real scuffle the way we saw Tony Stark do in Iron man 3 or Bruce Banner do in The Incredible Hulk. People will say what they will about that film, but Norton's Bruce Banner on the run in Brazil and then... was it Guatemala? Wherever it was, it was perfection. Spider-Man has needed that for a long time, and while they had a valient effort with Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man, those movies never quite hit the mark. I'd love for it all to come together in this one.
*I always believed Rosemary Harris's Aunt May knew Peter Parker was Spider-Man. They winked at it enough.

What you're saying makes sense. Still tho, I'd be surprised if they weren't in it. Sony's international marketing department have shadily let things slip more than once on their social media feeds the last 4 months. Besides that, Tobey Maguire isn't doing much acting these days and about a month ago he was spotted going in for a costume fitting. Then there's the rumors that Andrew Garfield was spotted by a Door Dash Driver, or Grub Hub, or one of those delivery services. Sony isn't doing a great job at keeping a secret.

I just started rewatching Spider-Man Far From Home and I totally forgot that the mobster fight scene wasn't in the film! Crazy how unreliable the human memory can be. Seriously, I think I saw Far From Home 4 times in theaters. It was at least 3, I know that for sure. There it is again, unreliable memory. My third viewing involved one of those crazy CA earthquakes that happened in 2019. I know CA has a reputation for earthquakes, but in that year there was a big one in Ridgecrest that was the worst we had seen in decades. I'll tell you this: it definitely made the viewing more exciting.

Tom Holland says Spider-Man 3 features "The most impressive fight I've ever seen in a superhero movie" www.comicbookmovie.com/spider-man/no_way_home/tom-holland-says-spider-man-3-features-the-most-impressive-fight-scene-ive-seen-in-a-superhero-movie-a182702#gs.u01mz6Well if that isn't high praise, I don't know what is. He has also recently said that Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield won't be in the movie. While actors are historically not the best sources of information on even their own projects, I honestly don't know what to believe at this point. Maybe the people who wanted a "focused" trilogy closer will be happy afterall. Considering the title is called "No Way Home", that could allude to a lot of multidimensional things. Do Ned, MJ, and Peter somehow find themselves traversing the multi-verse together and that's why they can't come home? Or, is it just a natural extension of the fallout from Far From Home? I also want to point out that Holland recently did an interview where he revealed he was almost cast as Finn in Episodes 7, 8, and 9... er, at least he thinks that's what the part was because there were a lot of thing he was unsure of in the interview. Things, for example, like "What are androids called in the Star Wars franchise... oh, I know, drones!" So technically that's not an actual quote, but I'm close. I believe Jon Watts or Kevin Feige revealed in interviews dating back 3 or 4 years ago that Tom Holland has actually never seen the original Star Wars. Considering that those films are all time classics, I wouldn't be surprised if he's missed a number of superhero films as well. If this is the case, then my question from my Feb. 4th post must be revisited. Holland says this is the biggest standalone superhero film he's ever seen... so which superhero films has he seen? Which ones hasn't he seen? Rereading all this, I sound like I'm trying to be a gate keeper. Honestly, that's not what this is. I'm typing all this happily and hyped. I love the job Holland is doing and the things he's saying are definitely working to get me pumped for the film.
