Tom Holland says he’ll play Spider-Man as long as he’s wanted, Mark Ruffalo pitched a Hulk solo film and the Russos say filming on Secret Wars begins soon. That’s the headlines for this MCU news roundup, so let’s get started. Most of the news cycle right now is focused on the release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day as the cast do interviews upon interviews. I’ve come across some interesting details outside the usual discussions about the film itself.
It seems likely Sony and Marvel are happy to make more Tom Holland starring Spider-Man films and in a recent interview Holland said he’ll play Spidey until they don’t want him to anymore.
“I will do it for as long as they’ll have me. So if this movie does good, I guess we’ll see.”

Well we already know it’s a success on day one of previews, so I guess he will be back then.
Meanwhile in a conversation with Variety, the film’s director Destin Daniel Cretton says Mark Ruffalo has pitched ideas that are really good for a Hulk solo film.

Of course the problem for a Hulk solo film is that far as we know there is still a rights issue between Disney and Universal.

Finally the Russos spoke to Collider about where they are on Doomsday and they tell the outlet they begin filming Secret Wars very soon.
“Soon. So soon it makes us sweat a little bit,” said Anthony Russo.
“We’re deep into finishing the movie, into finishing Doomsday. All of the grace notes, the music, working with Alan Silvestri, sound mix, creating Alan’s incredible original music. Wait until you experience what he’s cooked up for Doom. That, and then we’re prepping. We’re prepping Secret Wars. So, it’s a complicated time in our lives, but thrilling”
That’s your Marvel news roundup that’s not just people desperately trying not to spoil Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Some of them have failed in that task as well which is why I’m being wary. Just go watch it for yourselves, its on right now, or tomorrow depending on where you live. Leave any thoughts about this news roundup below.
