SPIDER-TRAILER
Following on from DC releasing their first official trailer for Justice League, Marvel and Sony fired back with the second trailer for Spider-Man: Homecoming. As promised, the trailer featured more Spidey, more Tony Stark and a lot of Vulture. Watch the trailer here.
For a while there was a lot of talk of Men in Black 4, and then there was chatter about a reboot or a crossover with 21 Jump Street. However it seems that all those projects have fallen through, and director Barry Sonnenfeld is unconvinced there will be new movies on the horizon. “I wish there were a fourth film,” said Sonnenfeld. “I don’t think Will Smith nor I would be involved. But I love the franchise, because I developed it and created it. But I think the problem with making a fourth film – for a while they were talking about combining 21 Jump Street and Men in Black – is there are too many expensive players in the mix. There’s Steven Spielberg, there’s other producers, and I think the way to do it is to have new agents or something like that. Not have me, not have Will Smith, not have Tommy Lee Jones. Just have other adventures. I wish they would do it, I don’t know if they will.” Read more about that story here.
