For a time, it appeared negotiations had gone sour between Disney and Sony regarding the use of Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and it was feared that we had seen the last of the web slinging hero after the release of Spider-Man: Far From Home.

It seems we will hear about an update soon that is bound to make Marvel fans very happy, at least according to Marvel insider, Roger Wardell, who shared the news via Twitter stating, “Disney understands the money-making powers of Spider-Man while Sony is aware of being completely unable to compete with the Mouse at the moment. New agreement should please many Marvel fans.”

“I am thrilled that Spidey’s journey in the MCU will continue, and I and all of us at Marvel Studios are very excited that we get to keep working on it,” shared Marvel Studios CCO Kevin Feige. “Spider-Man is a powerful icon and hero whose story crosses all ages and audiences around the globe. He also happens to be the only hero with the superpower to cross cinematic universes, so as Sony continues to develop their own Spidey-verse you never know what surprises the future might hold.”

The final installment in the Spider-Man Trilogy is currently set to swing into theaters July 16, 2021, but the films release may be delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Be sure to check back here at Chip and Company for all things Marvel!

J.K. Simmons Under Contract to Return in Future Spider-Man Films as J.Jonah Jameson

J.K. Simmons Under Contract to Return in Future Spider-Man Films as J. Jonah Jameson. Recently, J.K. Simmons spoke with PeopleTV about his reappearance as J. Jonah Jameson at the end of Spider-Man: Far From Home and if fans can expect to see him in the next Spider-Man film.

“I don’t know if I would use the word expect,” Simmons replied. “When we signed on for the first movie we signed a contract to do two sequels as well. Which, that’s always a one-sided, well not always but in my case, a one-sided contract where you’re committed to do it, but they’re not necessarily committed to use your character in the ensuing movies. It was great to have the opportunity as these things evolve to be one of the holdovers from the previous version.”

To keep interest in the franchise going and to celebrate the release of Spider-Man: Far From Home on Digital and with the DVD/Blu-ray, Sony Pictures created a “real life” The Daily Bugle, in the form of an online network called: thedailybugle.net. The fully functioning website shares a special video from none other than J. Jonah Jameson himself, J.K. Simmons, sharing his take on Spider-Man and Mysterio.

The website also features stories based on the incidents in Spider-Man: Far From Home, including articles about Night Monkey, the missing Hydro-Man, and even the recent “raid” on Area 51. (Yes, really)

J. K. Simmons reprised his role as J. Jonah Jameson from the original Spider-Man trilogy starring Toby Maguire and Kristen Dunst for Spider-Man: Far From Home and appeared at the end of the film to tell the world a great BIG twisted secret. The identity of Spider-Man!

You can check out the intro video of J. Jonah Jameson’s first installment on thedailybugle.net below:

We can’t wait to see more of J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson in future Spider-Man films! Be sure to check back here at Chip and Co. for all things Marvel.

Hugh Jackman Trolls Ryan Reynolds With Kids Birthday Theme

Hugh Jackman Trolls Ryan Reynolds With Kids Birthday Theme. Any fans of the dynamic duo Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds know that the famous best buddies love jabbing one another in internet videos and have hosted a friendly “feud” over the years on social media.

It seems this time Hugh Jackman is taking the first jab after a Marvel fan named Sam enjoyed his 8th birthday themed around Deadpool and Wolverine, the characters portrayed by Jackman and Reynolds in the previously Fox owned Marvel titles.

Hugh Jackman shared the story of Sam in a recent tweet followed by the caption: “Sam celebrated his 8th birthday with dueling #Wolverine and #Deadpool cakes. I think it’s crystal clear won. Don’t you?”

From the photo, it appears Sam is ever so slightly a bigger fan of Wolverine, donning the iconic grimace and stance of Wolverine with claws drawn. Hence, the reason Jackman shared the photo. Currently, Ryan Reynolds has yet to comment on the tweet, but we all know a snarky comment or response can’t be far behind.

Regardless of what Ryan has to say, I’m sure Sam’s birthday was made by the acknowledgement from one of his favorite heroes and we hope he had fun celebrating his 8th birthday. Be sure to check back here at Chip and Co. for all things Marvel!

Chris Evans Confirms He Will No Longer Play Captain America in the MCU

Chris Evans Confirms He Will No Longer Play Captain America in the MCU. Recently, Chris Evans appeared on The Graham Norton Show and shared his time as Steve Rogers/Captain America is at an end. His primary reason being he doesn’t want to sour Cap’s “Happily Ever After” ending unless the appearance would add to his story in a constructive way.

When specifically asked if Avengers: Endgame was truly the end Evans responded, “Yes, I think it is,” Evans said. “It was a great run and we went out on such a high note that it would be risky to revisit it in my opinion. It was such a good experience and I think it’s better left that way.”

“It’d be a shame to sour that,” he said in reference to how Steve’s story wrapped up in Endgame. “I’m very protective of it. It was such a precious time, and jumping onto the movie was a terrifying prospect to me. I said no a bunch of times, and there’s a million and one ways it could have gone wrong. It almost feels like maybe we should let this one sit.”

As much as we will miss seeing Captain America on the big screen we are glad to know the character means more than a cash grab to Chris Evans and great care was given to do the character justice in the MCU. Which Marvel Movie featuring Captain America is your favorite? We would love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

‘Agents of SHIELD’ Showrunners Tease MCU Crossover in the Final Season

‘Agents of SHIELD’ Showrunners Tease MCU Crossover in the Final Season. The show runners for the hit series Agents of SHIELD teased something big is coming to the series in Season 7. The big tease came from an interview with Deadline about the final season and the show runners, Jefffrey Bell, Jed Whedon, and Jeph Loeb were asked about the potential for any MCU crossover for the series to which all three responded: “We’re going to bump into something,” Jed Whedon teased. “Yeah, we’ll bump into something,” Jeph Loeb shared with a laugh. “Something will definitely happen,” Jeffrey Bell replied.

“Part of making a show is a puzzle and part of it is a game and you’re working with people that you’ve known for a long time to try to create something good. Then, when you come to the end there is a bit of a pressure that you want to get that right. Here, I think it’s safe to say that all of us we feel like the audience will feel the thing we wanted them to feel in the end and will feel satisfied with the ending,” Whedon explained. “I also think that the emotion of having a last season and knowing it’s the end is heavy. I think that that carries into the episodes and carries into the storyline and the performances, and all of it. So, we’re happy with it and we’re actually happy to revisit it as we watch it, because we finished it a while ago,” Whedon added with a laugh.

Though all three refrained from sharing too much about what said crossover may be this has Marvel fans chomping at the bit to know: “Who or what will we see in the pending crossover?” With the clear use of time travel in the series and films truly, the possibilities are endless. We could be introduced to a new face that is set to appear in the films or Disney+ Marvel Series currently in the works, or we may see a veteran character appear and catch the team off guard. Personally, my vote is a young Steve Rogers (Captain America) before the super soldier serum and a young Bucky Barnes, but that remains to be seen.

We are already aware of several appearances such as Patton Oswalt’s return to the series, Enver Gjokaj reprising his role as Daniel Sousa from sister series Agent Carter, and more cameos are expected in the future according to series star Chloe Bennet (Daisy Johnson).

We can’t wait to see who and/or what is in store for the team in Season 7, but we are sad to see the series ending after a successful run on ABC. What do you think the big twist is? Which characters would you like to see appear in the series? We would love to hear your theories and thoughts in the comments.

New Agents of SHIELD episodes premiere on Wednesday Nights at 9 PM C/10 PM EST on ABC. Be sure to check back here at Chip and Co. for all things Marvel!
