Maybe it's Ghost Stark.

We are post Ike now. Civil War seems to have a much bigger budget then previous movies. Marvel is probably done cheaping out now.

We shall see, I always heard that Fiege was a different side of the same coin as ol' Ike.

Time will tell.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

How long until RDJ gets a Disney Legends award? I figure it can't be long now.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

Pretty sure Ike was the main reason for Cheapskate Marvel.

I doubt Cumberbatch would have been cast under his watch.

It's rumoured they massively fell out with one another so not sure where you're getting that

 

[Einchy]

What if Tony marries Aunt May then he dies.

TONY IS THE NEW UNCLE BEN

MARVEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLL

 

[Orbis Tabula]

I think that since these movies are now routinely hitting tres commas, Disney is understandably a little more willing to pay for RDJ.

 

[lucebuce12]

The simple fact that spider-man movies won't just be restricted to Spider-man and his villains will do wonders for the character.

Tony Stark Killed Uncle Ben With The Jericho

It's all connected

He wanted him out of the way so he could get back with May.

I fucking see you, Stark. YOU AIN'T SLICK. BOB WAS RIGHT.

 

[Jimmy King]

Wow. Huge.

 

[Kevinroc]

Really not sure if this is still the case, for example, we havent seen Spidey earlier since they needed to sort the Merchandise money with Sony.
Sony would be stupid of they hadnt renegotiated that.

Sony was desperate to get Spidey into the MCU after the clusterfuck that was the ASM franchise. They didn't have the advantage in those negotiations.

Tony Stark Killed Uncle Ben With The Jericho

It's all connected

Uncle Ben was up there waiting to have a moral dilemma conversation with Spider-Man.

Poor guy.

 

[BronsonLee]

He wanted him out of the way so he could get back with May.

I fucking see you, Stark. YOU AIN'T SLICK. BOB WAS RIGHT.

Did you just fucking reference Only You

Holy SHIT that's a deep pull

 

[Yeezus H. Christ]

Pretty sure Ike was the main reason for Cheapskate Marvel.

I doubt Cumberbatch would have been cast under his watch.

Hell, I doubt half of that amazing cast in Dr. Strange would have been under Ike's watch. Feige went all fucking out with no supervision with that film given it's his baby.

 

[Sad Affleck]

Tomei is a really beautiful woman.

 

[Bronx-Man]

If he's co-starring in an Iron Man and Spider-Man adventure then sure. If it's a "hey, how are you doin'" cameo?

Ehhhh.

If it's making news, it's probably gonna be something substantial. Otherwise, it would be an end credits cameo we wouldn't even know about.

 

[BFIB]

Sony was desperate to get Spidey into the MCU after the clusterfuck that was the ASM franchise. They didn't have the advantage in those negotiations.

Wasn't it due to some clause that Sony had to make a Spider Man film within a certain time line to hold the rights as well?

 

[TheSeks]

SPOILERS, Marvel!!! Now we know who wins Civil War?

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Already getting a start to Parker Industries.

 

[Einchy]

We shall see, I always heard that Fiege was a different side of the same coin as ol' Ike.

Time will tell.

Is this one of those things where someone tries to start a rumor by pretending they heard the rumor elsewhere?

 

[What did he mean by this?]

I consider this Civil Warrr spoiler

 

[DrForester]

So much for the hope the he dies in Civil War.

 

[FinKL]

This is gonna be good

In before spoiler complaints

First thing I thought of....Now I don't know what to believe which is good

 

[Spinluck]

Money

 

[ApharmdX]

So he's playing Tony Stark, right? Nothing else makes sense.

 

[LiK]

Gonna be good. Looks like a Spidey story that won't be a origin rehash again. Marvel knows what's up

 

[Alienous]

I consider this Civil Warrr spoiler

.

I thought Spider-Man was going to get Quicksilver'd to end the fight.

Damn you, Sony!

 

[SArcher]

When Tony bangs Aunt May I expect the conversation between him and Peter to be something like this.

[guek]

This announcement is a bit spoilery, I didn't want to know he survived civil war :-(

 

[Scorpion Soldier]

Wasn't it due to some clause that Sony had to make a Spider Man film within a certain time line to hold the rights as well?

Every 7 years, but Sony had plenty of movies planned within that period post-ASM2. ASM2's box office and critical reception are what most likely pushed them towards the deal.

 

[Einchy]

So he's playing Tony Stark, right? Nothing else makes sense.

He's playing Jony Stark, Tony's long lost twin.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

This announcement is a bit spoilery, I didn't want to know he survived civil war :-

If you have any knowledge of Marvel's finances it's not really a spoiler at all

 

[Fury451]

i wonder who he'll play

J Jonah Jameson

 

[Kevinroc]

Wasn't it due to some clause that Sony had to make a Spider Man film within a certain time line to hold the rights as well?

Yes. Fox also has a clause with the Marvel properties they have the rights to. (This is also why they lost Daredevil.)

Sony rushed out the ASM reboot when Raimi made it clear that he wouldn't be able to get Spider-Man 4 out in a timely manner.

 

[Brazil]

All my money is yours, Marvel.

 

[privitsan02]

Well, at least we now know Iron Man ain't dying. Thanks for the heads up Marvel!

 

[ApharmdX]

He's playing Jony Stark, Tony's long lost twin.

Like in Beerfest! LOL.

 

[Blader]

Did anyone really think they were going to kill off Tony Stark, their biggest (or co-biggest) star, before the Infinity War grand finale? C'mon.

 

[jett]

Ah-ha! RDJ to demand 90% of all proceeds!

Also, this confirms that he does not die in Civil War.

I guess this confirms that Cap'n Murica is the one that dies!

 

[CadetMahoney]

He's playing Jony Stark, Tony's long lost twin.

Brony Stark.

How many times more money will he make compared to the actual Spiderman?

I'm guessing 25 to 1.

Spidermans casting agent to Spiderman - "More like a million to 1"

 

[Kathian]

This is getting ridiculous. I like the Avengers cast but frankly Spiderman better away from all that. Theres just too much going on now and far too much crossover. Ruining the fun.

 

[QuiteWhittle]

He wanted him out of the way so he could get back with May.



I fucking see you, Stark. YOU AIN'T SLICK. BOB WAS RIGHT.

goddamnit i thought i was going to be the only one to think of this

 

[BronsonLee]

I guess this confirms that Cap'n Murica is the one that dies!

Everybody Dies But Me - The Tony Stark Story

 

[hamchan]

Movie + RDJ = $$$

At least for Marvel films. RDJ really is getting quite rich.

 

[DrForester]

Did anyone really think they were going to kill off Tony Stark, their biggest (or co-biggest) star, before the Infinity War grand finale? C'mon.

Would have been a nice twist on the comics to have the villain die this time.

Now it's probably Captain America that dies.

 

[bill0527]

 

[hydragonwarrior]

Going by Spiderman TAS, they could bring him in to fit in with Venom's origin.

Or complete 180 - set in space, Ironman and Spidey take on Galactus.

 

[Brazil]

Isn't Homecoming a prequel to Civil War, though?

 

[StoopKid]

Really not sure if this is still the case, for example, we havent seen Spidey earlier since they needed to sort the Merchandise money with Sony.
Sony would be stupid of they hadnt renegotiated that.

Variety says they have the rights.

[DeathoftheEndless]

So he's playing Tony Stark, right? Nothing else makes sense.

Yeah, but he takes over Peter's body in Civil War. Peter is trapped in his own mind.
