Ever sinceproduction wrappedon Marvel and Sony’sSpider-Man: Homecominglast month, fans have been wondering when the first footage will debut. Today we have a new, unconfirmed report that claims Marvel will be using the highly-anticipated release of Disney and LucasFilm’sRogue One: A Star Wars Storyto launch the first trailer, when it hits theaters on December 16. Disney would not confirm this report or respond to a request for comment.
ComicBook.com’s sources close to the production claim that while the footage will be attached toRogue One, it’s also likely that the first footage will debut online before the release date. A specific online premiere date for the trailer has not been revealed. There have also been recent reports that Sony is planning on expanding theSpider-Man universewith new spin-offs that will be announced in the very near future.
Earlier this year, reports surfaced that Sony had brought on writerDante Harperto write the script for aVenom movie, which would not be connected to this newSpider-Manfranchise, starringTom Hollandas Peter Parker. No updates have surfaced from that project since then, but Sony’sTom Rothmanteased there will be “real news” about theseSpider-Manspin-offs very soon. Before Sony rebootedSpider-Manonce again, they were developingVenomandSinister Sixspin-offs that would have connected toAndrew Garfield’sAmazing Spider-Manmovies.
Last week,Tom Hollandconfirmed that he has signed on for six movies asSpider-Man, a trilogy that will kick off withSpider-Man: Homecomingand three more movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He wouldn’t say what other projects Spidey is set to appear in, but the young actor did hint in a recent interview that he may return forAvengers: Infinity War, but nothing is finalized yet. Production is scheduled to begin in January onAvengers: Infinity Warand its currently-untitledAvengers Sequel.
Spider-Man: Homecomingalso starsMarisa Tomeias Aunt May,Zendayaas Michelle,Laura Harrieras Liz Allan,Jacob Batalonas Ned Leeds,Tony Revolorias Flash Thompson andMichael Keatonas the villainous Vulture.Jon Watts(Cop Car) directsSpider-Man: Homecomingfrom a script byJohn Francis DaleyandJonathan M. Goldstein(Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs). Hopefully Marvel and Sony confirm when the firstSpider-Man: Homecomingtrailer will drop soon.
