I'm not talking about just here, I mean in general.   The movie going population seems to be losing interest in spiderman flicks as time goes on, each one is bringing in less money, in the US, than the one before it.   The reboot didn't make it over $300m when the first one topped $400m at the box office.   This seems to be the trend and I wouldn't be surprised if this sequel does less as well.

I've been thinking the same thing.  To be entirely honest, I don't think what Sony is doing with the Spider-Man movies is all that good.  The Tobey Maguire movies had moments that were VERY campy and I think this turned some people off...  As for the Reboot movies, I find Andrew Garfield very annoying personally (And a lot of people I've talked to agree).  Add to that the unnecessarily changed origin and storylines, and it turned a lot of the fans off as well.  I think that's the risk of changing things around for no reason.

That's a pretty significant tease:

Sony Pictures has released eight more images from The Amazing Spider-Man 2, including one photo that could hint at the villain ? or, rather, villains ? for the third installment of director Marc Webb?s rebooted franchise: the Sinister Six.

In Marvel comics, Doctor Octopus assembled the original Sinister Six ? Vulture, Electro, Kraven the Hunter, Mysterio and Sandman ? to defeat their nemesis Spider-Man. Obviously, the effort failed, but the Sinister Six (or Seven, or Twelve) returned again and again over the decades with an ever-changing roster that has included Hobgoblin, Beetle, Shocker, Chameleon, Lizard and even Venom. The Amazing Spider-Man already boasts Jamie Foxx as Electro, Paul Giamatti as The Rhino, Chris Cooper as Norman Osborn and Dane DeHaan as Harry Osborn, so they?re just two members short.

Despite the assault on Oscorp Tower two weeks ago and the revelation that disgruntled Oscorp employee, Dr. Curt Connors, was responsible for the attack, Oscorp?s stock has climbed four points. 

 

Oscorp spokesman Douglas Menken provided some details from the meeting, including that the construction on the prototype alternative energy power plant, complete with hydroelectric tower, is on schedule for completion within the next year. 

 

Other highlights included a preview of a flight harness for the military and significant advancements in robotics by the head of the engineering division, Spencer Smythe.

 

Flight Harness = Vulture?

Tower = Hydro-Man

Spencer = Spider Slayers

To be honest, I don't really care about any of those upcoming Villians. I just want to know when Venom gets here. XD

IF he's going to be part of this film trilogy. If he is, they better make him look the way he should look.

Agreed. Am I the only one who remembers the sneak peak that the director snuck in via twitter? Something about a Canister or something. That Canister supposely carries the Symbiote.

Yeah he snuck a fair few stuff in

The director Tweeted the picture below, a locker numbered 14, with the hashtag #happybirthday, which ComingSoon have pointed out is the locker number at Oscorp where the Venom symbiote is kept in the fan-favourite Ultimate Spider-Man comic-book series.

Just a thought, maybe that's the ending shot of Amazing Spiderman 2. Some guy (maybe Eddie Brock or Flash Thompson) breaks into the Oscorp lab. You see the shadow of him, and he opens the locker. Then you 'll see like the shadow being consumed by the Symbiote.. Ohhh man.. would that be awesome or what.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. But the way you want it to go sounds forced and too easy. Like, why is he breaking in? Why does he want to open that locker specifically? Does he know what the stuff in the canister is? I'd much rather see him changing into Venom by accident.

Not sure what you mean by forced. I was just saying it could be a cool ending. It would an ending that teases Venom for The Amazing Spiderman 3. Mind you I just thought it up in like 5 seconds and I don't have a team of writers in the room. 

I mean that it would be too forced as in; Eddie Brock needs to be Venom, lets just have him break in, grab the canister and let him throw the Symbiote on him. I didn't mean you have to have writers in your room. You made it sound like you wanted exactly that to be the ending so I felt like wanting to give my opinion. And you have to agree; having him just breaking in, magically opening the exact locker with the symbiote in it, isn't really exciting at all. It's Eddie Brock, everyone knows by know that he has been Venom. That's why they have to be creative about how to make him Venom in these new movies.

As an ending it could be cool to see Eddy turn into Venom, but it shouldn't be forced like that. I think that making it some kind of an unexpected accident would be nicer.

Bad ass, like he should, not that pansy ass raimi cooked up ( not the actor, the character, I thought the actor wasn't THAT bad ).

So what 'accident' like what happened in Spiderman 3? Maybe there was intel that was leaked through Oscorp, and somehow Brock got his hands on those files? Maybe another company out there knows about the Symbiote as well? So then he sneaks in to get it for the other company to get paid more but instead, the Symbiote takes over while Brock is trying to get it. :P.

That sounds better than your previous idea, but still a bit forced :p

A new viral site tied to "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" has leaked hints about the appearance of famed villains Venom and Hobgoblin in the new Spider-Man continuity.

The site is called The Daily Bugle Tumblr and boasts an article by comic character Ned Leeds. The same article mentions fellow comic characters Donald Menken and attorney Anne Weying.

In the comics, both Leeds and Menken tie into the first Hobgoblin storyline. Weying on the other hand is the ex-wife of Eddie Brock, the character who would become Venom.

In the article, it's mentioned that Weying is the defense attorney of Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans) following events of the first film. Menken is a Oscorp spokesman commenting on the case.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
