Justin Bieber was recently joined by Tom Holland on an Instagram live session, where Tom gave Justin a TV show recommendation and Justin showed off his massive property. As the world of IG live quickly becomes the latest hot spot to hang out during quarantine, Justin Bieber has been live streaming fairly often. On Tuesday, the singer accepted Tom Holland’s request to join his latest session, despite the two apparently never having met before. As soon as Tom appeared on the live (2:34), Justin expressed how much of a fan he was of the current Spider-Man, a sentiment that Tom shared. Biebs also thanked Tom for the kind words he said about his documentary series, Seasons, before Tom urged Justin to watch the reality show, Alone.

According to Tom, the series follows “ten people” who are left to fend for themselves “in the wilderness, and they have to survive for as long as possible.” Justin proceeded to ask Tom if he’d been working on the set of any projects prior to the coronavirus-induced shutdown of virtually all productions. Tom revealed that he’d completed only one day of shooting in Berlin for an upcoming film called Uncharted, based on the video game, before production was shut down. When Justin asked how much he’d prepared for the role, Tom confessed, “I mean, I did a bit. I played the video games, and I got into shape, but I wasn’t putting my heart and my soul on the line for it.”

Justin also met a friend of Tom’s during the live session, before giving a brief virtual tour of his massive property in Ontario, where he and his wife, Hailey, are isolating during the coronavirus pandemic. It was just announced that Justin had to postpone his entire 2020 Changes tour amid concerns over coronavirus.

The future of Spider-Man in the MCU was looking pretty grim last year, that is until Sony and Disney agreed on a deal in September that would keep Peter Parker on Team Marvel after all. Thankfully, it looks like Zendaya’s standout role as MJ will be back for another spinning adventure as well after Tom Holland recently confirmed a few slight details about the status of Spider-Man 3.

While speaking with Philippine Daily Inquirer during the promo run for his new animated film Onward, Holland spoke about his excitement to suit up as Spider-Man once again and even described the plot as “absolutely insane.” While he kept plot details to a mum, Tom did confirm that shooting for the film will begin this July in Atlanta and that Zendaya will “most definitely” return as MJ. However, their future as a couple is up in the air, with Holland adding, “As to the relationship between Peter and MJ, I’m not too sure what it will be.” Hopefully love in the MCU continues to develop between these two!

Although coronavirus seems to be making people do strange things, like stock up on endless toilet paper, it doesn’t appear to have hurt the box office. According to Variety, this weekend was an exceptionally slow one for ticket sales, but experts believe it was because of the movies themselves and not the coronavirus scare. Disney and Pixar’s Onward, starring Avengers buddies Chris Pratt and Tom Holland, took first place at the box office with a $40 million haul. The opening is one of Pixar’s worst, and with a nearly $200 million price tag before marketing it doesn’t look good for Disney. Ben Affleck’s “comeback” film The Way Back also hit theaters this weekend, earning $8.5 million on a $20 million budget. It took third place, and reaffirmed Affleck as a lead actor in contemporary adult dramas. 

The Invisible Man, which was released earlier this month, placed second with another $15.5 million for a total of $98.3 million worldwide. The film only cost $7 million to make, marking another big win for Blumhouse. Sonic the Hedgehog took fourth with $8 million for a total of $300 million worldwide. The family film was made on a budget of $85 million. Disney’s The Call of the Wild finished off the top five, earning $7 million for a worldwide total of $100 million. The adaptation of Jack London’s novel starring Harrison Ford cost $125 million to make.

Tom Holland became a household name in Hollywood by taking on the role as iconic superhero Spider-Man in the highly-coveted Marvel Cinematic Universe. Many felt like the synergy between his version of Peter Parker and Robert Downey Jr.’s award-winning performance as Iron Man deserved to be seen outside of the MCU, perhaps in another iconic movie franchise like a Back To The Future remake. Before you start screaming “NOOOO!” in the voice of Marty McFly, Holland and Downey Jr. will not be starring in the remake — there isn’t even a remake in the works! — but that doesn’t mean the Onward star wouldn’t be up for a lighthearted recreation.

While speaking recently with film critic Ali Plumb for a BBC Radio 1 interview, Holland answered the question that many have been wondering since that now-infamous deepfake fan-made video that shows his face imposed on Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly and Robert Downey Jr.’s mug in place of Dr. Emmett “Doc” Brown, played to perfection by Christopher Lloyd (seen above). “I’d be lying if I said there hadn’t been conversations in the past about doing some sort of remake,” Tom said, continuing by adding, “but that film is the most perfect film- or one of the most perfect films, one that could never be made better.”

He did have some fun in regards to the possibility of at least a scene remake, telling the BBC Radio 1 host, “That said, if [Robert Downey Jr.] and I could just shoot that one scene that they remade for fun – he could pay for it cause he’s got loads of money – I would do it for my fee and we could remake that scene. I think we owe it to deep fake because they did such a good job. I think I’m gonna speak to Robert and see if we can try to recreate something for deep fake.”

Sony’s upcoming Uncharted film has been delayed, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The film will now be released on March 5, 2021, a date that was previously held for Sony’s “Master of the Universe.” “Masters of the Universe” no longer has a release date scheduled.

Uncharted stars Tom Holland as Nathan Drake and Mark Wahlberg as his mentor Sully. The director spot is currently vacant. 

Earlier this month, The Hollywood Reporter reported that Ruben Fleischer was the company’s first choice to take over behind the camera. He’s recently lent his talents to Venom and Zombieland 2. Travis Knight had to give up the job after a scheduling conflict.

Uncharted has seen six directors and faced numerous delays since it was announced in 2008. Wahlberg was originally set to star as Drake, but in the time since, he’s aged out of the character and has been moved into the Sully role.

The story is expected to take place prior to the events from the first installment of the PlayStation video game series created by Naughty Dog. The latest game in the series is 2017’s Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. Naughty Dog’s newest game has also been delayed. The Last of Us Part II releases on May 29, 2020. 

Sony Pictures is eyeing Ruben Fleischer to direct the upcoming Uncharted film starring Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg.

Though Spider-Man’s cinematic ownership has been, to be frank, a pain in the ass at times, it would appear harmonious ground has been reached. With Sony and Marvel having recently secured shared rights to use Spidey in their respective films, many have speculated that Tom Holland would be swinging his way into Tom Hardy’s ongoing Venom series. After all, Spider-Man and Venom go hand-in-hand, and seeing them separated by studio politics would be a damn shame. Luckily, it would appear that cooler heads are in the process of prevailing, and the gap between the MCU and the Venom-verse may very well be bridged in the near future.

According to a report from Hypebeast, who in turn caught the scoop from Screenrant, Tom Holland is currently in talks to cameo in the upcoming Venom 2. The keyword, of course, being cameo, which speaks to something along the lines of Woody Harrelson’s post-credits scene in the first Venom. Still, should it come to manifest, it would certainly bode well for future Sony films. Remember that Sony owns a bushel of Spidey villains rights, and it would certainly be strange to see them wreak havoc unimpeded by Spidey’s pesky heroism.

Of course, it’s entirely possible this whole thing simply falls apart, and Venom is forced to play the role of a more straightforward hero. Either way, the Andy Serkis-directed movie will rake in the dough. Especially if it gets hit with that coveted R-Rating.
