Morbius Trailer

So the trailer for Sony Pictures' Morbius just came out, which you can watch here below:


MORBIUS - Teaser Trailer

Personally I'm not particularly interested in the movie itself (Though Leto is a good actor and it'll likely be entertaining in an edgy sorta way), there's two things that are worth noting:

• 1) At one point in the trailer, we see a street painting of Spider-Man on a wall with the word "Murderer" written over it in Graffiti. This is almost certainly a reference to the ending of Spider-Man Far From Home, where Spidey is framed as a murderer by Mysterio.
• 2) At the very end of the trailer, Michael Keaton unexpectedly shows up wearing a white shirt near a police car. This is notable because this white shirt looks identical to the one Adrian Toomes / The Vulture wore at the end of Homecoming when he's incarcerated.

When you pair these two items with the ongoing rumor that Venom 2 will tie Sony's Spider Universe movies to the MCU canon, a very interesting picture starts to emerge indeed...

Huh, interesting.

If I had to guess, Spider-Man ended up getting the symbiote following the events of Far From Home, before freeing himself from it, which leads to the events of Venom and all these other movies.

Makes sense

Haven't seen the recent movies, why is Toby's spider-man there?

It's just a picture on a wall.

Pretty strange to use Toby's spider-man costume though when Tom Holland's suit has been seen numerous times I believe. Not to mention throw it in the trailer blatently for everyone to see.

i'm guessing copyright issues

If that is the case then that reasoning is terrible and there are better ways to get around it rather than using Raimi's suits. Is it possible that it's connected to the Raimi movies or some multiversal stuff is going on? Raimi's Spider-man probably has the highest k/d ratio so he would be considered a murderer aswell.

I hope they don't make the same mistake as with Venom by putting too much humor into a movie that can have much series themes such as psychological traumas.

The best part of Venom was how goofy it was tho

The suit thing could just be a red herring of sorts, or a placeholder? Sony does own both the movie and the rights of the PS4 game, so they probably just put that in there and are gonna replace it with Tom's spiderman suit when the full film comes out if it is fully confirmed to take place in the MCU.

What I would like to see is that they make Into the Spider-verse canon to the MCU multiverse and as a byproduct Raimi's Triology and Amazing series.

I could see them doing it, given the spiderverse did introduce us to the Web of Reality, albeit mostly in just those cool transitions.

I think this means the Sony Movies will be one-sided canon to the MCU. That is, Sony's movies see the MCU movies as canon, the MCU sees the Sony movies as non-canon. MCU stuff (which would be pretty much limited to Spidey and his supporting cast) can appear on Sony's universe, but Sony's own characters can't on MCU stuff. In short, Sony's Marvel Universe is basically anime filler to the MCU canon.

But hey, tell me a single movie that was interviewed by a Vtuber.

Literally The Batman, and that one had a better interview

 

[Newendigo]

Sony cutting out the references to The Amazing Spider-Man's Oscorp in the final version of the movie was a bummer.
