Here’s our first look at a ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ poster

The summer of 2019 might seem like a lifetime away but that’s creeping up on us and it wouldn’t be long before we get more details about what’s coming next for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And the one that will set the stage for what comes after Avengers 4 is Spider-Man: Far From Home. And we get a first look at a movie poster for the film courtesy of Brand Licensing Europe, a licensing expo where Sony Pictures is promoting its releases for 2019. While there isn’t much you can take away from it, it does remind us that the film is coming and it means we’ll get to hear more as we get closer and closer to the movie’s release.

Marvel’s head honcho Kevin Feige talked about this before about what the movie could mean for the franchise and MCU as a whole. He said, “Well, I mean, sure, let the speculation begin. That's always fun. We like [the title] of course because it ties into Homecoming, not just keeping that word going, which we like and we liked it more than Homecoming 2, but that notion of 'home' is a word that has dual meanings we'd like to continue with this [Marvel Cinematic Universe] version of Spider-Man. So, Far From Home has multiple meanings. Much like Ant-Man, there are things that people know about that movie, which is a great deal of the movie: the villain of the movie, the storyline of the film, that we're shooting in Europe and that Peter Parker goes on continuing that [Captain America: Civil War] was a big giant super hero class movie. The fall out of that in Homecoming was John Hughes and him going to his high school. So that's what's fun to us about the Spider-Man movies. And again going from Infinity War to Ant-Man and the Wasp, the tonal shift."

Venom gets new trailer, finally has titular anti-hero in it

This isn’t the first trailer for Sony Pictures’ upcoming Venom movie but it might as well be. The first trailer didn’t show Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock turn into Venom at all. Finally though, we get a better glimpse at Brock and how he comes to terms with the powers he’s received from the symbiote. The trailer might seem to have put a lot of key plot points that could be touched on in the film so those who are spoiler-averse might want to avoid this. The film is coming out on October 5th and no it won’t crossover into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in case you were wondering.

The Emoji Movie partners with popular apps to celebrate World Emoji Day! 

 

Happy World Emoji Day! On July 17th we're celebrating the commonly used form of communication. When you think about it, emojis know no boundaries. It crosses borders and languages. So, why not have something fun on a Monday to celebrate? Sony Pictures Animation is joining in the fun by orchestrating a series of events and appearances.

"Emojis help us express ourselves in ways we don't have time to express, or don't have the forethought to express, or are afraid to express -- or don't have the language to express," said Tony Leondis, co-writer/director of The Emoji Movie (coming to theatres July 28).  "It's perfectly fitting for everyone around the world to celebrate World Emoji Day, because emojis really do bring us all closer together - in this world of technology, the human heart has found a way to connect."
