Sam Raimi has been one of the biggest fan picks when it comes to helming for the MCU, and the Spider-Man trilogy he helmed for Tobey Maguire’s superhit saga is one of the major reasons why. Not only does the filmmaker have incredible ideas for his projects, but his mere creative way of operating while working is what sets him apart from all the other masterminds in Hollywood.

This stands even stronger after Raimi recently, once again, shared his plans for a fourth film of Maguire’s iconic web-slinger, leaving fans more impressed than ever before. If anything, this latest pitch of his just proves that not only does he deserve to make another Peter Parker film with Maguire, but also that he is quite literally the best man Marvel can hire for the job.

Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield returned to their Spider-Man roles in a multiversal adventure in the MCU film, Spider-Man: No Way Home. The duo alongside Tom Holland’s Spider-Man fought some of the iconic villains from the earlier Sony movies. Recent rumors suggest that this appearance might not be a one-time thing and the trio will reunite for another film. The best possibility of their reunion happening will be in the final film of the Multiverse Saga, Avengers: Secret Wars.

Tobey Maguire’s films were to continue beyond Spider-Man 3, however, creative differences led to Sam Raimi leaving the project and subsequent cancelation of the franchise. Garfield’s The Amazing Spider-Man films were not great from a critical perspective and Sony chose to sign a deal with the MCU rather than continuing with the film series.

There has been a lot of speculation about what Avengers: Secret Wars is going to be about. Now that there have been reports of Marvel letting go of the Kang storyline, it would seem that the direction that the current and next phase is going to take is a huge mystery.

Many have speculated that the franchise will lean towards the direction of Mutants, while some hope for the Fantastic Four to take it forward. A new report, however, suggests a different approach altogether.

After Tobey Maguire reprised his iteration of everyone’s beloved web-crawling superhero in 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, interest in a fourth installment to Sam Raimi’s three-movie saga gained considerable traction amongst Marvel enthusiasts.

MCU’s R-rated movies have marveled at the box office but it is not a cakewalk for the filmmakers to restrict a project to a certain audience. Hugh Jackman, who played Wolverine for 17 years, stepped in to make the end of the Logan saga R-rated, sacrificing a chunk of his salary.

It is a notion widely conceived that R-rated projects tend to earn less as they narrow down the wide audience. Of course, MCU’s R-rated movies have continuously proved that notion wrong every time, but in this regard, convincing the studios can be a huge pain before making a movie.

Disney is finally focused on making good on their promise of focusing on quality over quantity. The House of Mouse has allegedly ‘quietly canceled’ a host of Star Wars and Marvel projects that were announced in the previous years. The company will now be focusing on its bigger franchises. This means that the focus for the coming few years will be on building the various established lucrative characters that it has available when it comes to Marvel.
The original six superheroes from The Avengers (2012)
Avengers 5, previously titled Avengers: Kang Dynasty, is one project that might be better off canceled. Given that the villain being set up over multiple phases might no longer be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it must make sense to remove the film entirely, and instead, uniting the Avengers with Avengers: Secret Wars.

Recent Data Reveals The Most Popular Spider-Man Actor Among Tobey Maguire, Tom Holland & Andrew Garfield! (Photo Credit –IMDb)
Spider-Man is one of those comic book characters that has been portrayed by several actors over the years. But the most popular ones were played by Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland. There is also an ongoing debate about who portrayed the best version of the web-slinging superhero among the three. A recent Netflix data has put an end to that for now!
Among the three, Tobey played the role first. He worked with notable director Sam Raimi and made three films in the early 2000s. Tobey’s franchise was followed by Andrew’s The Amazing Spider-Man series, but it stopped at two films only. Andrew’s version is allegedly the least popular one, but things changed. People’s affection for Andrew’s Spidey was renewed after the 2021 MCU movie No Way Home.

Femme fatales have existed since the dawn of narrative art. This intoxicating female archetype is known for her alluring sensuality and dark habit of causing harm or destruction to any man who falls into her grasp. From the sirens of Greek literature and Shakespeare’s Lady MacBeth to the vamps of the silent film era and gangster movie gun molls, femme fatales have continued to change with times.
A surge of classic examples arose in pulp literature and the subsequent film noir heyday of the 1940s and 50s – possibly a response to shifting gender roles in the wake of World War II. Many consider Barbara Stanwyck’s Phyllis Dietrichson to be the prototypical film fatale of the silver screen. In Double Indemnity, this magnetic blonde seduces a hapless salesman and convinces him to kill her husband in order to cash in on the titular insurance policy.

Pouran Derakhshandeh is a trailblazer. As a pioneering woman in the Iranian film industry, her work has tackled some of the most sensitive issues of our times, ranging from drug addiction and pedophilia to disease and sectarian conflict. She takes a decidedly internationalist approach to her films, often working with foreign actors and producers. In her English language drama “Love Without Frontiers,” she finds thematic links between the Iran-Iraq War and gangland conflict in Los Angeles. It’s a bold statement made all the more impressive by her decision to work with an almost entirely American cast. Now, after more than two decades of virtual obscurity in the West, it’s finally going to be released in the U.S. for the first time.
On paper, this all sounds like cause for lovers of Iranian film to celebrate. The only problem is that “Love Without Frontiers” is a ridiculous, hackneyed...

While the horror genre touched on queerness well before Hellbent was ever released, Paul Etheredge-Ouzts’ 2004 film is considered to be the first of its kind: an openly queer slasher. Without question, there is no ambiguity about the characters’ sexualities as they partake in the annual Halloween festivities in West Hollywood. The only real mystery about these men is the masked killer following them, hoping to add their names to his growing list of headless victims.
Art director Etheredge-Ouzts was first approached by producers Michael Roth, Joseph Wolf and Karen Lee Wolf in 2000 about making a gay horror film. By then, the trend of slashers hard on the heels of Scream had already reached its expiration date, but even so, what eventually became Hellbent remains a unique entry in the first major revival of slashers. And what was once coded in both past and contemporary films was now glaring and unapologetic in this one.

"Need for Speed" tends to get unceremoniously left out of the conversation about video game movies. Released in 2014, the film debuted at the height of Aaron Paul's post-"Breaking Bad" fame. Paul stars as Tobey Marshall, a former race car driver turned working-class mechanic from New York whose friend is killed by Tobey's wealthy rival Dino Brewster (Dominic Cooper) during an illegal street race -- a crime that Tobey is wrongly arrested and convicted for. Upon his release from prison, Tobey sets out to defeat Dino in a San Francisco race. However, for reasons that are too complicated to get into here, he must do so by first driving across the country in a rare Mustang he helped restore in less than 48 hours. Also, Imogen Poots is riding shotgun with him.

One of the most iconic scenes in Sam Raimi’s 2002 Spider-Man trilogy was Tobey Maguire kissing Kirsten Dunst while hanging upside down.
But that moment is nowhere to be found in Emma Stone’s and Andrew Garfield’s Amazing Spider-Man films. Which Stone felt was for the better.

Rami Malek is one of the most interesting actors working today. The projects he takes on run the gamut from an Egyptian mummy in a kid's movie to one of our most beloved musical superstars. Malek has a unique presence, and his deep, piercing eyes are quite an arresting sight to behold. James Bond himself, Daniel Craig, even said that Malek would beat him in a staring contest due to the intensity of his gaze.
Malek's proven that he can play sweet or evil with equal skill, and it's always a surprise to see what role he'll take on next. With an Oscar for best actor already under his belt, there's a good chance his career will continue to flourish in the future. However, right now is as good a time as any to look back at some of the roles that turned him into the in-demand actor he is today.

DiCaprio and Maguire’s friendship might be one of the longest in Hollywood. The two met while they were extremely young up and coming actors looking for their breakthrough. Maguire left a significant impression on DiCaprio, and the two bonded from there.
“After I met Tobey at an audition, I felt like I wanted this guy to be my friend,” DiCaprio once recalled in an interview with The Associated Press. “I remember driving back from school and he was doing Hot Rod Brown Class Clown with Whoopi Goldberg outside Hollywood High. It was a high school.

After starring in Spider-Man 3 in 2007, Tobey Maguire always figured he’d be back for more. But then, after the franchise rebooted twice, first with Andrew Garfield and then with Tom Holland, he figured his time had come and gone forever. However, the introduction of the multiverse into the Marvel Cinematic Universe gave him a chance to return to the role in Spider-Man: No Way Home and, after putting on the old costume again, he’s been bitten by the Spidey bug, so to speak. He says he would love to return for a fifth movie, whether it’s one of his own or part of another multiverse effort. But he clearly missed the fun he’d had being Spider-Man and hopes to do it again. When we spoke to him during his initial run as Spider-Man, Maguire told us the stunt work he did was incredible but challenging. (Click...

Damien Chazelle's "Babylon" is a fantastic, over-the-top tale of debauchery and a melancholic look at the roaring '20s in Hollywood, where everything could and often did happen. This is a film of excess, beginning with an opening scene so ridiculous you'd think Baz Luhrmann directed it — or at least stood up, hooting and hollering through the scene — and the only 2022 film that ends with a shoutout to James Cameron's "Avatar," a movie it seems to both admire and deeply fear.
This is not a reverential look at the power of filmmaking like "The Fablemans," or a tender story that crosses with a tale about the power of cinema like "Cinema Paradiso," but a go-for-broke, "Animaniacs" sketch about the endless cycle of death and rebirth in Hollywood. Scenes about the making of several pictures in the same lot are fascinating if kind of cartoonish. An incredibly long opening...

“I didn’t realize when I met (writer-director) Damien (Chazelle) what a huge undertaking this was going to be,” admits “Babylon” makeup department head Heba Thorisdottir. “I didn’t know he wanted 750 backgrounds to go through hair and makeup. I told him I didn’t want to go through it if he wanted it all pristine. But when we sat down, the first thing our of his mouth was, ‘I don’t want it to be pristine. I want it all dirty and gritty. I think that was the bonding moment.” Good thing, because one day the film had 800 background people, and everybody had to go through hair and makeup. Added hair department head Jaime Leigh McIntosh: “I just think it was a complete beast. I’m honestly baffled how we got through it. We’re just so proud of everything that wound up onscreen.” Watch our exclusive video interview above.

Mitchell Lichtenstein’s cult classic “Teeth” sure still has bite. As “Teeth” celebrates its 15th anniversary this year, it’s only fitting to look back on the legacy of the “vagina dentata” origin story. Written and directed by Lichtenstein, “Teeth” stars Jess Weixler as Dawn, a high school student who has committed her body to the Promise, an abstinence group that preaches on the unlawful act of sex.
The at-times outrageously campy film has a foreboding score reminiscent of “The Room” crossed with a misplaced fever dream ode to John Carpenter, framing Dawn’s dedication to keeping herself pure like a character trait one of the many victims of a slasher may have. The blonde-haired, blue-eyed virgin has a distinct memory of being digitally penetrated by her creepy step-brother as a child…and let’s just say, neither of them forget it.
Is Dawn our final girl? Not quite.

Pat Rosson, a son and grandson of cinematographers who appeared on The Andy Griffith Show, The Twilight Zone and the soap opera The Young Marrieds as a child actor in the 1960s, has died. He was 69.
