As rival Microsoft Corp. prepares the launch of its next generation Xbox Series X console for this year's holiday season, the presentation gave a first glimpse of how games will look when played on Sony's device.

However, that did not happen with the first movie, but according to a report from Fandom, it seems that Sony wants to make that happen. This is according to Venom director Ruben Fleischer who said that Sony is apparently looking to build towards a confrontation between both characters.

Fleischer was quoted as saying, “That’s where it’s all going to lead. And that’s the exciting thing, because we changed the origin of Venom … in the comics, he evolved from Spider-Man but because of the Marvel-Sony thing we weren’t able to that. And so the thing I think it’s building towards, and will be exciting to see, is when they actually do confront each other.”

This was obviously extremely disappointing news for fans, especially with the role that Spider-Man has played in the various Marvel movies he’s appeared in so far. However, it looks like both Sony and Disney have made up since because in a joint announcement, Sony and Disney have revealed that Spider-Man will be swinging his way back into the MCU.

In a statement made by Marvel Studios and President Kevin Feige, “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. 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.”

We had hoped that maybe both parties were still negotiating behind closed doors, but according to Sony Pictures chairman and CEO Tony Vinciquerra, that will no longer be happening. The CEO was quoted as saying, “For the moment the door is closed.” Despite that, he insisted that there was no ill will between both Sony and Marvel, although he hinted that the success of the two movies weren’t solely because of Marvel.

According to Vinciquerra, “We had a great run with (Feige) on Spider-Man movies. We tried to see if there’s a way to work it out….the Marvel people are terrific people, we have great respect for them, but on the other hand we have some pretty terrific people of our own. Kevin didn’t do all the work.”

As some of you might have heard, discussions between Sony and Disney over the Spider-Man franchise have fallen apart, resulting in Spider-Man more likely than not to leave the MCU. We’re sure many are wondering how the franchise will be moving forwards, but as it turns out, it will soldier on just fine.

According to a report from Deadline, it has been revealed that the script for the third Spider-Man movie is already in the works where actor Tom Holland is expected to reprise his role. However, the report goes on to add that director Jon Watts, who directed the first two movies, might not return. Apparently, this is due to his contract in which he was only contracted for the first two movies, and that now both Sony and Marvel are trying to court him for future movies.

When it was announced that Sony and Disney would be working together to bring Spider-Man into the MCU, it was a huge deal. Sony has attempted several Spider-Man movies in the past, but due to the fact that it existed separate to other Marvel movies, it always felt that something was not right.

The partnership has since spawned two very successful movies, with Spider-Man: Far From Home earning over $1 billion. Unfortunately, as you might have heard, that partnership seems o have come to an end, where negotiations between Sony and Disney have broken down, resulting in Spider-Man being taken out of the MCU.

Following the success of Spider-Man: Far From Home and with the way the movie ended, it was largely assumed that there would be a third Spider-Man movie in the works. While there still might be, it seems that Marvel/Disney’s involvement with the movie could be at an end, at least according to a report from Deadline.

The publication claims that due to Disney wanting a 50/50 co-financing stake in future Spider-Man movies, Sony has ultimately decided to walk away from the partnership, putting Spider-Man’s future in the MCU at jeopardy. For those unfamiliar, Sony still owns the rights to Spider-Man’s appearances in movies, which meant that while the films were produced by Marvel, Sony would still have the right to pull out the character whenever they wanted.

Spider-man: Far From Home has yet to be released, but it seems that the rumors about the third movie have started to make their rounds. According to a series of tweets by an alleged Marvel insider calling themselves Roger Wardell, the third installment in Marvel’s Spider-Man movies could see Tom Hardy’s Venom character introduced.

If this is true, it would officially mark the introduction of Venom into the MCU. In many ways, it makes sense, given how big a role Venom plays in the history of Spider-Man. It also makes sense financially, with Hardy’s Venom movie raking in over $800 million in sales, despite it being panned by critics.

FCA and Mazda have announced two separate recalls involving the 124 Spider and MX-5 “cousins”, as well as the Chrysler Pacifica people carrier, over transmission and steering issues.

Marvel’s Spider-Man, the PlayStation 4 game developed by Insomniac Games, is receiving two new suits for our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. The suits are based on Fantastic Four, another one of Marvel’s comic book superheroes, in fact, it’s first modern superhero cohort. While the Fantastic Four has taken a backseat to more popular Marvel characters in the cinematic universe, the comic giant is bringing themed suits to Spider-Man based on Peter Parker’s appearances in Fantastic Four comic issues.

Marvel and Insomniac today announced the addition of two new costumes for Spider-Man in the PlayStation 4 title. They’re part of the patch version 1.14 that’s available for download today. The first is the Bombastic Bag Man Suit. It gives Spider-Man the trademark Fantastic Four blue costume with a paper bag to hide his true identity.

The new Spider-Man game for PlayStation 4 has been very well received. It has got glowing reviews and players seem to love it. They now have something to look forward to next week as the first part of the DLC for this title is due this coming Tuesday. The DLC itself is called The City That Never Sleeps.

The DLC is going to have three chapters which will tell an interconnected story. The first part that’s due on October 23rd is titled The Heist. Black Cat will be introduced in this part as Spider-Man works to solve an art heist. Players will also be up against a whole new faction of enemies in addition to new challenges, crimes, and trophies.

With the Sony PS4 Pro, the company essentially introduced a more souped up version of the PS4 that would allow it to play games at higher resolutions and smoother frame rates. However we expect that not everyone has hopped on board the PS4 Pro bandwagon yet, but if you are looking for an excuse, just last month Sony launched a limited edition Spider-Man PS4 Pro that looks stunning.

In fact if you were tempted by it, you might be interested to learn that Amazon now has the bundle up on its website where you can pre-order it. The bundle is priced at $400 which makes it slightly more expensive than a standalone PS4 Pro, but you get a copy of the game along with a rather striking Spider-Man design, which we have to say is one of the more exciting designs we’ve seen for the PS4 Pro in recent times.

If you have yet to jump on the PS4 Pro bandwagon and you are thinking about it, Sony might have something that could tempt you. The company has recently unveiled a limited edition Spider-Man themed PS4 Pro which we have to admit is probably one of the more striking limited edition PS4 consoles we've seen to date.

The limited edition console will be released in conjunction with the new Marvel Spider-Man video game which everyone seems to be raving about these days, namely due to its graphics which makes it one of the best looking Spider-Man games that we've seen so far, and of course Sony wants gamers to enjoy it on the PS4 Pro, which is the company's latest and most powerful console to date.
