Sony Pictures closed out their CinemaCon showcase by revealing the title of Tom Holland’s next “Spider-Man” movie: “Spider-Man: Brand New Day”

Director Destin Daniel Cretton revealed the title by telling a story about how his one-year-old son’s first word was “Spider-Man,” something that happened when the infant pointed at a cover of the comic “Spider-Man: Most Wanted.” He then presented a video reel from Tom Holland, who announced the title but promised he was “well past the hump of spoilers.”

The film will be released in between the two upcoming “Avengers” films: “Doomsday” and “Secret Wars,” and will show Holland’s Peter Parker dealing with a brand new start after the events of “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” in which all memory of him and his secret identity was erased from the universe.

Holland’s film will also come after the actor signed a new producing deal with Sony.

We finally. know when we’ll be heading back to the Spider-Verse. This evening in Las Vegas, during the opening night festivities of CinemaCon, Sony took to the stage to deliver an update on their upcoming slate. Among the titles was mention of Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, the long-awaited and wished-for third installment in the celebrated animated film series. Thanks to this evening’s event, we now know that the film will hit theaters on June 4, 2027. Attendees were also treated to a brief sneak peek: The scene opens soaring through a visually stunning journey through a technological cosmos. All the main characters are here, including Miles, Gwen, and Hobie. Miles says, “I’m gonna do my own thing,” and the scene cuts to black. For audiences at home, the studio also revealed several new images, which you can see below.

Every now and then, a true cinematic classic flies so far under the radar that its destiny to become a cult favorite is clear right from the start. Such was the case with the 2016 mockumentary musical comedy Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, which stars Saturday Night Live alumnus and Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Andy Samberg as Conner "Kid Conner" Friel, a pop star struggling to go solo after being part of the rap group phenomenon The Style Boyz.

Grossly missed by many upon release, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping has now landed on Prime Video, and we urge you to either discover or rediscover this modern comedy masterpiece. Directed by The Lonely Island members Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone and written by and starring fellow The Lonely Island member Andy Samberg, as well as Taccone, and Schaffer, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping was co-produced by Judd Apatow and Rodney Rothman.

Exclusive: On the heels of Twisters, which grossed over $370 million worldwide in theaters last summer, Oscar nominee Lee Isaac Chung has closed a deal with Skydance to direct The Traveler, a feature adaptation of the novel Traveler by Joseph Eckert.

While the project is in the early stages and the logline is being kept under wraps, sources described The Traveler as an intimate family drama that exponentially develops into a vast science fiction odyssey. The novel explores the life of Scott Treder, a 47-year-old biology technician who begins experiencing involuntary jumps through time, and there’s been interest in mounting a feature adaptation for some time. An early version of the script, penned by Austin Everett, garnered significant industry attention a few years ago, making the Blood List, Hit List, and the Black List, with MGM looking to develop it back in 2019, as we were first to report.

Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse and the entire Spider-Verse franchise revealed that there are an infinite number of multi-verses, all with their own canon events. Unfortunately, our canon event is for Beyond the Spider-Verse to never hit theaters. The third installment in the Spider-Verse trilogy (which began with 2018's Into the Spider-Verse) was already meant to be released in theaters in early 2024, but was delayed indefinitely by Sony. Reports on the movie's status are conflicting, but one of its stars just gave a sour update.

During an interview with Decider, to promote his new movie, Unstoppable, Jharrel Jerome gave a disappointing update on Beyond the Spider-Verse's production. The actor, who plays the Earth-42 variant of Miles Morales, was asked if he had begun recording his lines for the movie yet. "No, I wish," was his honest response. Jerome said that pre-production is still underway on the third installment in the trilogy,...

Tom Holland will soon be swinging into the Marvel Cinematic Universe again to do something neither Tobey Maguire nor Andrew Garfield got the chance to do – a fourth Spider-Man film. As we wait to see what the team comes up with this time around, we have to agree that Tom Holland has come a long way in his career. Even though he had dipped his toes into the film industry before, he gained worldwide fame thanks to his appearance as Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War. It was only onward and upwards from there.

Channing Tatum began his career as a model before quickly transitioning to the film industry. However, among his numerous movies, the buddy police comedy 21 Jump Street deserves a special mention. This movie was so favorably liked by the audience that a sequel, 22 Jump Street, was created after it.

The second installment outperformed the first in terms of earnings and popularity. As a result, fans began requesting Sony to release 23 Jump Street to further the storyline of Schmidt and Jenko. While the film was still in the planning stages and a script already in hand. However, various impediments prevented it from taking shape.

Well, well, well. Look what the cat dragged in. A Channing Tatum film that was lost in the alleys of Hollywood seems to be making its way out of the crowd and into the spotlight!

It was recently revealed by Tatum himself that a script for the unfinished film 23 Jump Street (a sequel in the 21 Jump Street franchise) was the best one he ever read. Somewhere, down the line, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse director Rodney Rothman, allegedly picked it up!

The World May Finally Get Channing Tatum’s 23 Jump Street

21 Jump Street came out in 1987 with Johnny Depp portraying the role of a high-school student while being an undercover cop. This TV series was remade into a 2012 film starring Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill.

The film was highly...

Channing Tatum would "love" to make '23 Jump Street' with Jonah Hill.The duo starred together in '21 Jump Street' in 2012 and reunited for its sequel '22 Jump Street' two years later, with a third movie initially put into development a decade ago with plans for a 'Men In Black' crossover with James Bobin directing from Rodney Rothman's script, but it never came to fruition.Tatum told ComicBook.com: "There is a project that was written and it’s still the best script that I’ve ever read for a third movie."However, the 'Fly Me To The Moon' actor insisted the project never got off the ground due to decisions made higher up the Hollywood food chain.He said: "A lot of bureaucracy, kind of above the line stuff. It’s really hard to get it made and we’ve been trying to get it done.

In what sounds like a Hollywood fever dream, Channing Tatum is campaigning for a blockbuster franchise crossover that would truly be out of this world.

Following the news in the 2014 Sony email leak, Tatum confirmed that a crossover of 21 Jump Street and Men in Black, entitled Mib 23, was once in development, and he’s still hoping the ambitious movie gets made.

“There is a project that was written and it’s still the best script that I’ve ever read for a third movie,” he told ComicBook.com after starring alongside Jonah Hill in the 2012 action comedy 21 Jump Street and its sequel 22 Jump Street (2014).

An adaptation of the 1987-1991 Fox series, they played two arguably youthful-looking cops assigned to go undercover in a high school. Original stars Johnny Depp, Holly Robinson and Peter DeLuise made cameos in the movie, with Richard Grieco and Dustin Nguyen appearing in the sequel.

Perhaps the best thing to come out of Hollywood's never-ending attempts to turn hit TV shows into movies is Phil Lord & Chris Miller's hilarious take on "21 Jump Street" starring Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill. Taking a cue from the beloved TV series that premiered in 1987 with cast members like Johnny Depp and Richard Grieco, the 2012 action comedy follows the awkward but smart Morton Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and dimwitted, popular star athlete Greg Jenko (Channing Tatum) in their post-high school lives as they become unlikely friends and partners on the police force when they're assigned to an undercover assignment to bust a drug ring in high school. 

"21 Jump Street" has just enough meta sensibilities in the story to poke fun at Hollywood's formula of turning TV shows into movies without becoming a full-blown parody, and it also features delightful supporting turns from Brie Larson, Dave Franco, Nick Offerman,...

Channing Tatum recently told ComicBook.com that he is still very much interested in making “23 Jump Street” with Jonah Hill. The film would serve as a sequel to their R-rated comedy blockbusters “21 Jump Street” (2012) and “22 Jump Street” (2014).

A third movie was officially put in development by Sony Pictures in Sept. 2014 with “22 Jump Street” scribe Rodney Rothman hired to pen the script. It was then revealed a few months later during the notorious Sony hack that “23 Jump Street” was being designed as a crossover with the “Men in Black” franchise. Variety reported in March 2016 the crossover film was moving forward with director James Bobin, but it ultimately never got off the ground.

“There is a project that was written and it’s still the best script that I’ve ever read for a third movie,” Tatum told ComicBook.com, while promoting his upcoming movie “Fly Me to the Moon.

Channing Tatum hypes up script for 23 Jump Street, calling it the "best" for a third movie in a trilogy. The Men in Black crossover sequel was scrapped due to ambitious plans, bureaucratic challenges. Tatum and the team are seemingly still trying to get MiB 23 made.

21 Jump Street star Channing Tatum has hyped up the script for the ill-fated crossover sequel, 23 Jump Street, aka MiB 23, calling the script the best he has ever read for a third movie in a trilogy. Discussing the doomed project with Comicbook.com, Tatum will no doubt have action-comedy fans feeling even more saddened that we will likely never see the Jump Street/Men in Black crossover movie on the big screen. See what the actor had to say about the threequel below...

Exclusive: Netflix is developing a feature adaptation of None of This Is True, the psychological thriller novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jewell, sources tell Deadline. Eleanor Burgess (Perry Mason) has been tapped to pen the script.

Netflix won rights to the book in a competitive situation that involved multiple offers out of the U.S. and UK.

NBA star Stephen Curry is often brought up in the conversation about GOATs — the greatest basketball players of all time.

While the four-time NBA champion and two-time Mvp’s ranking might be debatable, Curry is making his Goat connection official — by producing a sports comedy movie by the same name for Sony Pictures Animation.

Curry and his Unanimous Media co-founder Erick Peyton will produce the film alongside Academy Award nominee Michelle Raimo Kouyate, and Modern Magic’s Adam Rosenberg (“Creed 3”) and Academy Award winner Rodney Rothman (“Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”).

“With ‘Goat,’ we look forward to uplifting audiences with diverse characters and heartwarming storylines that will have you rooting for the underdog,” stated Peyton and Curry about the movie, which is aimed at families and sports fans alike.

Sony Pictures Animation is hoping to score with a new sports-themed animated feature from producer Stephen Curry.

The studio announced Thursday that the original movie Goat is set to hit theaters Feb. 13, 2026, timed to the NBA’s All-Star festivities taking place in Los Angeles that weekend. Tyree Dillihay (Emmy-nominated director of Bob’s Burgers) is helming the comedy film with co-director Adam Rosette (Orion and the Dark) from a script by Aaron Buchsbaum and Teddy Riley (Fairfax).

Plot details are being kept on the bench for the time being, and a voice cast has not been announced.

Producers include Curry and Erick Peyton for Unanimous Media, Adam Rosenberg and Rodney Rothman for Modern Magic, and Michelle Raimo Kouyate. Rick Mischel and Fonda Snyder serve as executive producers, while David Schulenburg is co-producing.

A four-time NBA champion with the Golden State Warriors, Curry is involved with a number of Hollywood projects, including...

Rotten Tomatoes has shared an updated ranking of the "300 Best Movies of All Time" which they say are "reviewed and selected by Tomatometer-approved critics and Rotten Tomatoes users."

At #1? 1997's L.A. Confidential, a movie which has little to nothing in common with superheroes! However, comic book adaptations do factor into the list, with 11 in total making the cut.

According to the review aggregator, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is the best superhero movie ever, coming in at #21. Released in 2018, the Sony Pictures title grossed $384.3 million and won a "Best Animated Feature" Oscar in 2019 (making it the first non-Disney/Pixar movie to do so since 2011).

Also included in the list are The Dark Knight (#51), Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (#81), Spider-Man: No Way Home (#128), Avengers: Endgame, (#142), Iron Man (#145), Black Panther (#225), Logan (#228), Guardians of the Galaxy (#254), Thor: Ragnarok (#274), and The Avengers (#286).

Needless to say, we're sure these selections will generate some discussion!

It's good...

The 2018 film "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse," directed by Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman, was a boldly stylistic and striking foray into the flagging superhero genre, and featured a wild multi-dimensional story that brought multiple Spider-People (and a Spider-Pig) together from various threads in Marvel Comics canon. The main character was Miles Morales (Shameik Moore), although audiences also met a few versions of the original Spider-Man Peter Parker as well. Critics and audiences loved "Into the Spider-Verse," and the film would go on to win an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. 

The 2023 sequel, "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" resembled "The Matrix Reloaded" in many ways. It was twice as visually dazzling, and it was more narratively ambitious ... and it was only half of a movie. For being so much bigger, "Across" is ultimately the lesser movie. We'll have to wait to see if "Across the Spider-Verse" is good after we see "Beyond the Spider-Verse,...

It takes multiple hands of masters, artists and filmmakers to bring a story to life, no matter the cinematic medium. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has designated categories to recognize the achievements of artists working on animation, documentary features, and shorts, an opportunity to be rewarded. However, just because you directed or produced one of these specialty films doesn’t mean these contributions will be officially named in the Oscar nominations.

To the untrained Oscar eye, it might not be obvious that despite “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” picking up a nomination for best animated feature, one of the three directors, Joaquim Dos Santos, was not among the listed nominees. It’s an arbitrary rule of the Academy that only four “teams” may be recognized in the animated feature category.

The official nominees from “Spider-Verse” are Dos Santos’ fellow directors Kemp Powers and Justin K. Thompson, producing partners Phil Lord and Christopher Miller,...

Exclusive: Fox has given a script commitment to Elfquest, a one-hour animated drama series based on the epic fantasy adventure comic series created by Wendy and Richard Pini, from Rodney Rothman and Adam Rosenberg’s Modern Magic. Susan Hurwitz Arneson (The Last Amazon) will pen the series adaptation and serve as showrunner and executive producer.

Created in 1978, Elfquest, published by Dark Horse Comics, is a fantasy story about a community of elves and other fictional species who struggle to survive and coexist on a primitive Earth-like planet with two moons.

Rothman and Rosenberg will executive produce for Modern Magic, along with Arneson and Wendy and Richard Pini. Bento Box Entertainment is the studio.

“ElfQuest couldn’t be in better hands,” said Wendy and Richard Pini in a statement to Deadline. “Our collaborators trust the story. We have the highest regard for their previous achievements, and they have our blessing and input.

Exclusive: Fox Entertainment Studios (Fes) has beefed up its scripted offering with a triple hire.

The in-house production unit has signed former Paramount Channel exec Ted Gold, who had a hand in developing Yellowstone, and former Paramount Television Studios SVP Julie Schwachenwald, while animation exec Khoby Rowe has moved across. The trio take on newly-created Senior Vice President, Development, Senior Vice President, Head of Scripted Production and Vice President, Development roles respectively.

Based out of LA, Gold and Schwachenwald report to Fox Entertainment Scripted Programing President Michael Thorn, while Rowe reports to Gold. All three have started.

The move comes as Fox looks to supercharge in-house scripted following a year in which it has made shows including Joel McHale’s Animal Control and struck deals with the likes of 50 Cent, Academy Award winning filmmaker Rodney Rothman (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) and writer-producer Justin Adler, amongst others.

Gold has kicked off his second spell with Fox,...

Exclusive: Coming off a two-season starring role on Fox’s drama The Cleaning Lady, Oliver Hudson is staying in business with the network. The actor-producer has entered a broadcast direct deal with Fox Entertainment for him and his producing partner John Stalberg to develop comedy and drama projects that will be fully owned and distributed by Fox.

Hudson played one of the leads, FBI agent Garrett Miller, in The Cleaning Lady, co-produced by Warner Bros. TV and Fox Entertainment. The popular character was killed off in the Season 2 finale, which aired earlier this year.

Hudson already has a pre-existing relationship with Fox as a producer. He and Joe Buck are developing the animated comedy Daddy Issues for the network, with Fox Entertainment and company-owned animation house Bento Box Entertainment producing.

Exclusive: After a stellar run in theaters that saw it come in as the highest-grossing film in the history of Sony Pictures Animation, Sony’s Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has set its Netflix premiere date.

It happens a lot when up-and-coming actors are featured in a franchise prior to their newfound star status. And when those actors strike it big, studios usually find a door to capitalize on it. Jennifer Lawrence was part of an ensemble when she starred in X-Men: First Class. After she became the face of The Hunger Games and an Oscar winner, naturally she became a bigger focus in the sequels X-Men: Days of Future Past and X-Men: Apocalypse. In 2012, a fresh-faced Brie Larson co-starred in the comedy adaptation of 21 Jump Street as a high school student and love interest to star Jonah Hill.

According to ComingSoon.net, Sony is developing a spin-off of their 21 Jump Street franchise that is aiming to be bringing Larson back as her character, Molly Tracey. Larson has recently been seen as the gun-toting, Belgian Ale-drinking Tess in Fast X and will also be...

In late 2018, “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” quietly debuted. It featured a different version of the Spider-Man character, Miles Morales (Shameik Moore), a New York City whiz kid whose Spider-Man died tragically, forcing him to step into the iconic role (with some help from some other Spider-People from different dimensions). And it was rendered in an aggressively comic book-y style – this style was unlike anything that audiences had seen before and effectively bumped out the parameters of what we think of as Western animation.

It took chances in both the medium and the message. It made an impressive $384 million worldwide against a budget of $90 million. And it was awarded an Oscar for Best Animated Feature a few months later, marking the first non-Disney or Pixar movie that had been honored since Gore Verbinski’s “Rango.”

Now, five years later — and after Marvel Studios effectively aped the concept for their “Spider-Man: No Way Home...

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is looking like the very real deal, in the wake of so many mid superhero movies. To date, the Into the Spider-Verse sequel has a 95% fresh rating at Rotten Tomatoes, and most every review is loaded with superlatives.

But Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse came out so long ago (December 2018!), maybe you’d like a refresher before slinging yourself to the Cineplex to venture Across the Spider-Verse. Here is where and when you can rewatch (or enjoy for the very first time!) the Oscar-winning animated film.

Breathe easy, Spider-fans. After 2018's "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" came out of nowhere to shatter expectations and breathe new life into superhero movies, audiences anxiously waited to see if and when a sequel would be given the green light and, most importantly, if it could possibly live up to the standard set by the first animated movie. Well, those concerns seem to have been put to rest, if the reactions and reviews for "Across the Spider-Verse" are anything to go by. (You can read /Film's review by Chris Evangelista right here.)

But there's one common element that practically all the early reactions for the highly-anticipated "Spider-Man" movie have gone out of their way to note: it apparently ends on a rather significant cliffhanger. In contrast, "Into the Spider-Verse" told a very self-contained story that wrapped up to satisfaction in less than two hours. As it turns out, however, the filmmakers...

Nearly every mainstream animated feature (and just about every comic-book movie too) sets a tone and visual design that the audience plugs into; the movie, bold and shiny and clever as it may be, won’t deviate much from that. But the images in “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” have an intoxicating unpredictability. The film makes you feel like you’re dropping through the floors of a modern art museum on acid. Yet there’s a thrilling moment-to-moment logic to it all. The madly eclectic images express something — an eyeball-tickling explosion of quantum physics, or a subliminal nod to some comic-book style from decades ago that’s so retro it’s new, not to mention bedazzling. This feels like it could have been the first movie designed to earn a thumbs up from Andy Warhol and Stephen Hawking.

Or maybe the second, since “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” was like that too.

The brilliance of the kaleidoscopic, animated Spider-Verse erupts again in this multidimensional film about a teen superhero with exasperated parents

In 2018, writers Phil Lord and Rodney Rothman gave us a delirious and utterly unexpected new web-spin on the infinite self-replication of Marvel Comics IP and its most reliable hero, Spider-Man. Instead of yet another MCU live action version, directed and produced in that hard, depthless CGI light, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was a brilliantly inventive animated fantasia about the Spidey mythology, riffing on movies and comic books. The Spider-Verse was a cosmos in which different Spider-folk existed in parallel: a multiverse at least as interesting as that of Dr Strange, and more interesting than the solemn awards-prestige of Everything Everywhere All at Once. Everyone who saw it wondered how this kaleidoscopic new take could be applied elsewhere: James Bond: Across the James-Bond-Verse, or Bilbo Baggins: Beyond the Bilbo-Baggins-Verse.

Now...

There isn't a superhero who's captured the hearts and aspirations of comic book readers more fervently than Stan Lee and Steve Ditko's Spider-Man. Ever since the character's introduction 61 years ago in the fifteenth issue of Marvel Comics' "Amazing Fantasy," the web-slinger has hooked 'em young with the universal origin story of Peter Parker, a nerdy teenager transformed by a radioactive arachnid (and the preventable murder of his Uncle Ben) into a quip-happy, crime-fighting dynamo. Every kid can relate to Parker's journey, and, as we grow older, our inner-child's fondness for the wall-crawler only deepens.

Though Spider-Man belongs to all of us, the character's massive popularity left open the possibility of an iteration that directly appealed to non-white fans. Finally, in 2011 (40 years after DC introduced the Black character John Stewart as a new member of the Green Lantern Corps), Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli thrust Miles Morales, a...
