R-rated Carnage movie when?
Also, I don't know if I'm interested in a Sicario sequel without Villeneuve.

Oh, Chris Yost wrote a draft for Silver and Black? Interesting.
I think this could end up being a surprisingly decent film despite, you know, Sony. Kinda like a modern version of Blade, which comic fans barely even knew before the movie. Anyway, DC better hurry up with Sirens and Catwoman.

Sure.
Welcome to the club. I'm sure they have good reasons, but it's Sony and so I remain sceptical.
"We need to spin-off popular Spider-Man characters to create new viable franchises. Who have we got?"
"Uh...uh...Silver Sable? And Black Cat?"
"GET ON IT!"

I don't know, I always thought Silver Sable had a ton of potential and was criminally underutilized so I don't mind the push. Never cared about Black Cat though.
The problem is that the Spidey-verse has a lot of characters they can use, but they went straight to the bottom of the barrel.
Silver Sable and Black Cat movies can work, but they need to be introduced in a proper Spider-Man movie first.

It was leaked a few years ago that Spider-Man has to be male in the movies so I guess that eliminates those two. And that leaves them with few other female heroes to use so Silver Sable and Black Cat is.
I'm not sure that's true, I remember Sony wanting to do a Spider-Gwen movie during the ASM days.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Glad they just moved Bad Boys 3 off the table. Saying it was coming out next year was just silly.
Not sure if I'm feeling a summer release date for the Sicario sequel. We'll see if people are in the mood for something like that between popcorn munchers.

Weird that
A Sicario sequel of all things got fast tracked
That Lionsgate sold it to Sony
That it's a summer film

Same writer, director is more than capable, guy replacing Deakins did The Martian/Prometheus/Dark City/The Crow. Should be solid. Composer replacing Johan also looks good.
Supposed to be a lot darker than Sicario, so it will be interesting how that goes.

Seems to be without Emily Blunt too
Isn't it a prequel to sicario?

Sicario 2: The Dark Tower
They probably can't use them, though...because they need to keep them in reserve for the ongoing Spider-Man film franchise, especially now that Marvel Studios and Sony are going to have to rely on utilizing lesser-known Spider-Man characters that haven't already been done to death in the preceding five Spider-Man films.
I wouldn't really say Black Cat and Silver Sable are "bottom of the barrel" either. They're interesting, fairly popular characters in their own right...most especially in relation to all the other characters Sony is willing to spin-off into their own separate universes. The problem is I don't think Sony has the capacity to do their spin-off film justice.

While the Venom flick sounds like a mess, I'm cautiously optimistic about 'Silver & Black'. Gina Prince-Bythewood has made some good films, most notably, Beyond The Lights. Plus, I'm not really here to poo-poo the first comic book film directed by a woman of color, sight unseen.

Fuck off Sony.
Curious about Soldado. I'm not familiar with Stefano Sollima's work, but his father was a great and really underrated director (The Big Gundown and Face to Face are two of the best spaghetti westerns, and Revolver is the best Italian crime flick I've seen) so hopefully there's some of that in his genes.

I have more confidence than most in this sequel because Taylor Sheridan is still writing the screenplay. Dude's got loads of talent.
Hell or High Water and Wind River (and Sicario, itself) establish a pretty solid track record.
To be fair, this didn't stop Superior Foes from being absolutely brilliant.

Sicario without Villanueve direction is a no unless they comple5ely surprise me. To be fair Villanueve was not a big name when doing that movie.
But Black Cat and Silver Sable are the type of characters you keep for future SM movies, a character like Jessica Drew will nevet be in the MCU, and neither will Spider-Gwen. Wraith can carry her own movie with heavy re-writes, and Silk can work too.
Felicia Hardy works best with Spider-Man, she doesn't have a good origin arc, that's why she can debut in a Spider-Man movie and then have her own film, she's a cool character with a terrible origin story. I guess Silver Sable can work solo though.
Yeah, that's why I don't want to shit on the movie yet, the choice of characters is perplexing on Sony's part, but the director doesn't deserve pre-emptive hate.
It's a sequel. I don't think there's really that much room for a prequel, as we already got the thrust of everything that happened to Alejandro prior to the events of the film, and there's room to push forward. Not that I think that there's a terrible necessity for Sicario to have a sequel, but they do have room to work with.
And I don't know why anyone would complain about Emily Blunt not coming back. That ending made it very clear that there's no place for her character in that world.
I think they've actually said it could be seen as a prequel or a sequel; that it's not tied to the events of the first movie, and could just as well take place before or after.
Huh, that's a little bit interesting. Considering the nature of the war on drugs, I can see why it wouldn't particularly matter much for continuity if it's one or the other, and that even sounds like that could be a decent point to make about the whole thing if that's something they would want to pursue.

Yeah dunno how I feel about this
Silver and Black sounds like it can be interesting, and the director looks to have a solid track record. Stop crying because it's not the MCU.
Sicario is not a film I would expect to see a sequel to, but I'm down.
If Taylor is back, then I'm hopeful. Hell or High Water is legitimately one of my favorites films ever. I need to watch Wind River.
I wonder if Brolin will keep his Cable mass for the role.

"Black and Silver" is more rythmically appealing than "silver and black." say it out loud a few times. Thats my hot take.

Sicario really didn't need a sequel. No way it will live up to the quality of the first.

Didn't realize Sicario and Hell or High Water were written by the same guy. I absolutely loved both of those movies.
Still surprised we're getting a sequel to Sicario of all films. I really liked it but it isn't the type of film that needs a sequel at all. But then this is Sony we're talking about, they were probably just pleased to have a film that went in to the green on Metacritic for once.
