Sometimes I have to check myself and figure out if I am really in the clutches of nostalgia. Then I see clips like this and all my doubts go away. These movies had sauce.
SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY ($1.45bn) has officially surpassed, yesterday, AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON ($1.4bn) at the global box office.
It’s now the 4th highest grossing MCU movie of ALL TIME, after just 9 days.
Tom Holland unlocked a whole new layer to his performance through his body language man, he had the ability before(Homecoming) but it was always covered up in the CGI suit so going practical did wonders for him
Hugh Jackman says he was done with Wolverine. Then he pulled over on a road trip just to tell Ryan Reynolds he’s in, 3 hours before the pitch meeting that became Deadpool & Wolverine
“I stopped to pee somewhere and I got out of the car and I rang Ryan. I said, ‘Dude, I don’t know where you’re at, I think you’re about to do Deadpool 3, but if you want, I’m in. I want to do all those years.’ And he goes, ‘Are you serious?’”
“I said, ‘I’m 100% serious.’ He goes, ‘Dude, I have a meeting with Kevin Feige in 3 hours from now and we have a pitch for Deadpool 3 that you are not in. But I have a feeling they’re going to say no.’”
“And he goes, ‘I don’t think we’ve got a movie here, are you seriously in?’ I said, ‘I’m seriously in.’ He goes, ‘I’m going to tell Kevin.’ Tell him.”
At that time, director Jon Watts believed that shooting web-swinging scenes was too laborious and unnatural, so he heavily relied on blue screens and CGI in the previous three films. However, Destin Daniel Cretton stepped in and proved the exact opposite. He brought a fresh Spider-Man to the screen, drawing inspiration from the success of the Spider-Man games to portray a much more mature, confident, and self-assured Peter Parker through practical action sequences. Not to mention, the kid had already generated massive hype for the film the moment millions of fans shared these practical footage clips
