Holland to return for Spider-Man
It appears that “SpiderMan: No Way Home” will not be Tom Holland’s last outing as Marvel’s neighborhood web-slinger.
According to longtime “Spider-Man” producer Amy Pascal, Holland is expected to return as Spider-Man for at least three more movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
“This is not the last movie that we are going to make with Marvel — (this is not) the last Spider-Man movie,” she told movie ticketing site Fandango on Monday. “We are getting ready to make the next Spider-Man movie with Tom Holland and Marvel, it just isn’t part of … we’re thinking of this as three films, and now we’re going to go onto the next three. This is not the last of our MCU movies.”
Representatives for Marvel, Sony and Holland didn’t immediately respond to Variety’s requests for comment.
Holland, who has already spent six years as “Spider-Man” across three stand-alone movies and several Avengers mashups, has recently expressed apprehension about continuing to play the character in future installments.
“I have to take Peter Parker into account as well because he is an important part of my life,” he told GQ ahead of “No Way Home,” which debuts in theaters Dec. 17. “If I’m playing Spider-Man after I’m
30, I’ve done something wrong.”
In the same GQ interview, Pascal said she spoke with Holland about doing “like, 100 more” movies. “I’m never going to make Spider-Man movies without him,” she said. “Are you kidding me?”
Gucci heirs rip film: The heirs of Aldo Gucci, who
was chairman of the Gucci fashion house from 1953 to 1986, have issued a statement saying they are “a bit disconcerted” about what they claim is their inaccurate portrayal in Ridley Scott’s “House of Gucci” film.
“The production of the film did not bother to consult the heirs before describing Aldo Gucci — president of the company for 30 years (played by Al Pacino in the film) — and the members of the Gucci family as thugs, ignorant and insensitive to the world around them,” the statement said.
It added that the pic attributes “a tone and an attitude to the protagonists of the well-known events that never belonged to them.”
“This is extremely painful from a human point of view and an insult to the legacy on which the brand is built today,” it noted.
McConaughey opts out of politics: Actor Matthew McConaughey
isn’t running for Texas governor after months of publicly flirting with the idea of becoming the latest celebrity candidate.
The Academy Award winner said in a video posted Sunday night that political leadership was not a route he was choosing to take “at this moment.” McConaughey, 52, said he would instead focus on supporting businesses and foundations that create pathways for others to succeed.
The actor had never said what party if any he would run under while acknowledging that he was mulling a run for governor in his home state. McConaughey had also shied away from going into policy specifics and positions on contentious issues in Texas.
“Politicians? The good ones can help us to get to where we need to go, yeah,” McConaughey said in the video posted to Twitter. “But let’s be clear, they can’t do anything for us unless we choose to do for ourselves.”
