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.”
>>“less than one-quarter of Americans have a close friend or family member who is transgender,”...
If 2% of people have same sex desires, the number of crossdressers has to be a small percentage of that. No mystery as to why only 25% would possibly know someone walking on the wild side.
even homosexuals don’t necessarily know transexuals.
South Park: “Oh look, Spider-Man is packing fudge!”
I’ll miss this one. But, then again, I missed all but one of the first spiderman movies - they’re totally underwhelming.
I’m calling B.S. on this one.
then they quote Kevin Feige as saying he will portray one...but they don't mention it will be only on TV -- the Disney+ service. There is not one fact proving that Disney/Marvel is planning to destroy the Spiderman franchise with such nonsense.
ROTFLOL...........now thats funny........
Yes. Keep marketing to 1% of the population. Let me know how that goes.
Lol. Fools.
Sony and Disney have a limited ‘partnership’ on Spiderman............
either you **** xxxx or you don't...
You tell ‘em, Dice!
Not ‘woke enough’. Spider-Man needs to be a black transgender lesbian bisexual with a boyfriend.
RE: Spider-Man needs to be a black transgender lesbian bisexual with a boyfriend.
Wait another 10 years after Greta Thunberg becomes an adult. You should see it in the movies.
What’s funny is that now even the terms ‘gay’ and ‘lesbian’ are outdated to the left, it’s too defining.....”Non-binary” is the new cool term.
100%
“It’s hardly even groundbreaking!”
Exactly. It’s not even a novelty anymore, so the only thing it would accomplish would be to alienate a huge percentage of the viewership. Idiots.
“The world isn’t as simple as a straight white guy”.
So true, there is also straight white girl, straight black guy, straight Indian girl. As a matter of fact there are over 7 billion straight people. Very complicated place.
Yes, Sony was failing with their Spider-man reboot so they made a deal to allow Marvel to make Spider-man movies and put him in the Avengers, but they retain the rights and the rights to all the related Spider-man characters and villains.
It is what Hollywood does and they just cannot help themselves. They build the success of a franchise free and clear of the woke culture.
Then, some exec with an agenda says, “now that we got em coming to the theatres to see this, let’s indoctrinate!!”
And so as Star Wars did, Marvel has now fallen into this. Soon we will see a female Thor, more Captain Marvel, Iron Man played by vagina candle girl, Asgard ruled by black female Odin, Black Widow (which might be cool but will undoubtedly be so woke as to kill it) and on and on. Female Captain America?!? Why not transgender.
And now, gay Spider Man. Released just in time to have a poster of Mayor Pete in his room, no doubt and probably busy fighting crime committed by evil Trump supporters against Mayor Pete’s campaign.
I can see it now, Avengers Wokeinity Wars!!!
Coming to theatres soon Black Female Bond, Double O Woke.
Go woke and go broke. But the latest is that if we don’t like it, the problem lies with the audience and not the purveyors of this agenda driven crapola.
Like many people without children I learned things from friends and coworkers. One woman had a little boy who was crazy about Spiderman and had to dress like him for Halloween and get the associated commercial products.
So now his successors will say to mom “Can I get a sex change and be more like Spiderman?” “The teacher at school told us about them this week.”
Beyond sick.
