A report says that Sony plans to feature Spider-Man as a bisexual in an upcoming movie.
The entertainment blog We Got This Covered said, citing anonymous but reliable sources, that Sony is developing a live-action Spider-Verse movie that would unite Holland with his predecessors, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, and that the studio is “particularly keen on getting Garfield back, as they want to portray his version of the hero as bisexual and give him a boyfriend in the film.”
In an interview with The Sunday Times last year, Holland, who currently plays Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, was asked if a gay Spider-Man could make it into the movies. “Of course,” he responded. “I can’t talk about the future of the character because, honestly, I don’t know, and it’s out of my hands. But I do know a lot about the future of Marvel, and they are going to be representing lots of different people in the next few years.”
Holland added, “The world isn’t as simple as a straight white guy. It doesn’t end there, and these films need to represent more than one type of person.”
Garfield also said in 2013 that Spider-Man could be portrayed as gay. “I was kind of joking, but kind of not joking about MJ (Mary Jane, or Spider-Man’s main love) … And I was like, ‘What if MJ is a dude?’ Why can’t we discover that Peter is exploring his sexuality? It’s hardly even groundbreaking! … So why can’t he be gay? Why can’t he be into boys?”
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige had also earlier confirmed that Marvel would be debuting an openly transgender superhero. During a Q&A session at the New York Film Academy last October, he was asked about plans to introduce more LGBTQ characters into the universe, “specifically the T — trans characters,” he said, “Yes. Absolutely. Yes. Very soon. In a movie we're shooting right now.”
Movies and television programming geared toward young children are increasingly featuring of LGBT-identified characters.
Last July, Disney Channel series “Andi Mack” made history by depicting the network’s first teenage gay couple. The season three finale of the series concluded with the scene between Cyrus Goodman (played by Joshua Rush) confessing his attraction to his classmate TJ Kippen (Luke Mullen).
Also last year, a major gay rights organization, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), started pushing for 20 percent of all television characters to be LGBT by the year 2025.
In a report called “Where We Are on TV,” GLAAD President Sarah Kate Ellis noted that “less than one-quarter of Americans have a close friend or family member who is transgender,” meaning that many Americans “learn about trans people from what they see in television, movies, and news.”
And just like that Spider-Man movies started losing money....
There goes any guest appearance from Black Widow then.
RE: There goes any guest appearance from Black Widow then
I thought she died in Avengers EndGame?
“Where does Spidey’s web fluid come from?”
Just, Pleez.... make it stop.
Why? Why do they have to "represent" anything?
I didn't see Holland's last Spiderman movie. I'm done with Marvel Superhero Gay Movies.
I thought Disney owned Marvel. Is this some joint venture between the studios?
And that would be the end of Spiderman for me
I was being facetious.
Sorry.
F them.
And presto............the Spiderman franchise dies a 1000 deaths.
She did. Black Widow will be a prequel, and may introduce a replacement Black Widow.
Those who control the media control the mind.!!!!
Another character series that has run its course. Typical when the writers run out of show ideas, they pull out the LGBTQ show script. I am sick of it. I really don’t need to know how people have sex and I hate it when I am forced to care. BS!
They always float these kinds of stories, heck, they even did it with James Bond, and it never happens.
Why not, they already made Mary Jane one of the most annoying characters on film, might as well make the hero a poofer as well...
The bombardment of interracial couples on TV ads this year has been impressive, to say the least.
well Peter Parker was raped as a boy.
DC wanted to make Flash a member of the lavender mafia in Justice League...
But don’t kid yourself.. sooner or later they willl
Leftists destroy EVERYTHING they touch.
Toby Mcguire was pretty close.
