Spider-Man Confirmed For Avengers: Infinity War - Collider Movie Talk

On this episode of Collider Movie Talk (January 11th, 2017) John Campea, Kristian Harloff, Jeremy Jahns, Jon Schnepp, Ashley Mova and Wendy Lee discuss the following:

-Tom Holland confirms Spider-Man will be in Avengers Infinity War

-Rian Johnson says Luke Skywalker is the “emotional entry point” into Episode VIII

-AMC Rewind

-The PGA nominates Deadpool

-First full trailer for Cars 3

-First trailer for Dark Night

With the Avengers: Infinity War production beginning soon, it looks as though Marvel Studios won’t be able to keep the cast of the massive superhero sequel under wraps. Just as Zoe Saldana confirmed to MTV news that she will reprise her role as Gamora, one other future Avenger also confirmed their involvement: Spidey. Spider-Man star Tom Holland recently sat down with Italian magazine L’Uomo Vogue (via ComicBook.com), where he confirmed his part in the movie, saying Robert Downey Jr and Chris Evans gave their personal stamp of approval in his casting - saying he could handle three Spider-Man films, including Avengers Infinity War. We’ll see for ourselves when it lands in theatres on May 4th, 2018.

In their continuing coverage of Episode VIII as part of their must-see movies of 2017, USA Today revealed even more comments from writer-director Rian Johnson about his upcoming sequel to The Force Awakens. First off, if you’re looking for a darker middle chapter a la Empire Strikes Back, you won’t find it with Episode VIII. Johnson said he wants the film to be a blast and to be funny the way The Force Awakens and the original Star Wars movies were. And in regards to the character of Luke Skywalker, fans who wanted more from the Jedi Master will be in luck with this film.

The Producers Guild of America have announced their nominations for the Best Picture of 2016 and by far, the biggest surprise of the bunch was a nomination for 20th Century Fox’s wacky superhero action-comedy Deadpool. As for what it means for its newly invigorated Oscar chances, we’ll have to wait and see when the Oscar Nominations are announced on January 24th.

Disney has released a new Cars 3 trailer, adding more plot and character info to the third movie in the franchise. Directed by Brian Fee Cars 3 tells the story of legendary Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) who is suddenly pushed out of the sport he loves. To get back in the game, he will need the help of an eager young race technician, Cruz Ramirez, with her own plan to win. Cars 3 features the return of Larry the Cable Guy as Mater, Bonnie Hunt as Sally Carrera, and Cheech Marin as Ramone. It’s set for release on June 16, 2017.

The first trailer for Dark Night has hit online. The movie, loosely based on the Aurora, Colorado theatre shooting that happened during The Dark Knight Rises, debuted at last year’s Sundance Film Festival to rave reviews. The movie follows the activities of six strangers over the course of one day, from sunrise to midnight, with the shooter among them. It is directed by Memphis director Tim Sutton and is scheduled to hit theatres in a limited release on February 3rd.
