I am really curious as to what kind of plot will be cooked up for the sequel to Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse. If the end credits scene from the first installment is any indication, we can at least expect Spider-Man 2099 to show up. I love the idea that has been floated of the movie Spideys (Maguire, Garfield, Holland) showing up, it might be fun to see them play off of one another. Heck, let's let Nicholas Hammond's Spider-Man join the fun!
Today, I learned that Nicholas Hammond was one of the von Trapp children in The Sound of Music.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I would love to see the interaction between Miguel O'Hara and Spidey'67 as they each try to deal with early 21st-century Earth.
ReplyDeleteThere's a rumor about that the producers are already planning to make the fourth (or maybe fifth) Holland Spidey-film a live-action Spider-Verse movie, with Maguire and Garfield taking part, as a precursor to crossing them over with the animated Spider-Men (and -Women). I think Hammond would be too old to don his old Spidey-suit, but I'd be disappointed if he didn't have at least a cameo (unless, of course, he's passed away by the time of production).
ReplyDeleteI also think that a lot could be done with Jake Gyllenhall showing up as another Peter Parker -- both because he was considered for the role at one point, and because he recently played Mysterio.
On this cover, I have to say that the composition is dead-on. The synchronicity of Miles' and Cassandra's poses gives the panel an energy like few others you've done.
I think having Hammond show up in a supportive role, like the financier for a Spiderman team might work.
ReplyDeleteHe could also play the Amazing Spider-Ben.
ReplyDeleteP.S.---how about Bane vs. Venom? The script-reason being the former needs more of the identically-named steroid, which he naturally confuses with the latter, and chaos ensues!
ReplyDeleteNicholas could also play the Jonah Jameson from Andrew Garfield's Earth.
ReplyDeleteNicholas was in Once upon a time in Hollywood. Wayne's Wolf? They took Bob and Ted's place. Actually Batgirl looks like she could be doing the Batusi.
ReplyDeleteMultiple Spider-Men played by previous Spider-Man voice actors? If one of them is my favorite, Rino Romano, or nostalgic favorite Dan Gilvesan I could be on-board with that. Also Cassandra is the best Batgirl, no offense to Barbara. I just thought Oracle was a good transition to her character since she retired from being Batgirl before the Joker shot her. she was a Congresswoman at the time.
ReplyDelete@Cary and ShadowWing: I think the actor who did Spidey's voice in 1967 (and that of Hymie the Misfit Elf, three years earlier) is the same one who played Billy the Pizzeria Owner in the Ed Norton Hulk-flick.
ReplyDeleteP.S. @ Ross: I take it, from the title, that Anthony Romulus finally managed to take a bite out of Batman?
ReplyDelete@Anon@8:51: That sounded interesting, so I thought I'd check Wikipedia and IMDb about it. The pizzaria owner in The Incredible Hulk was named Stanley, and was indeed played by Paul Soles, who had voiced both Bruce Banner and Rick Jones in the 1966 Marvel Super Heroes series as well as Spider-Man in the 1967 show.
ReplyDeleteSo now maybe Bruce and Peter can go out for pizza in some upcoming film (especially now that Marvel apparently has the Hulk distribution rights back).
It is interesting how Miles Morales has to have name in title but others like Batgirl you have in cover do not. It shows a bit of insecurity of Marvel.
ReplyDeleteWell, look at this way; both hyphenated and otherwise, the brand name of "Batgirl" has been around a lot longer than that of "Spider-man."
ReplyDeleteA case of far more "Mile-age," you might say. :-)
I'd kind of like to see a cover with this pair's Silver/Bronze Age predecessors. (I'm too lazy right this moment to try to go search to see if it's been done already!)
ReplyDelete@Bob: Peter Parker teamed up with the Silver Age Batgirl (as well as Robin) in STF #938.*
ReplyDelete*It was just him and Robin/Grayson in STF #'s 2417, 2755, and 2756.
Waynewolf, waynewolf, party time, excellent!

ReplyDelete@Anonymous: true! Only James and Rick are.
