But as comic book fans know from the new trailer – he isn’t the only Marvel character making an appearance. Aside from a neatly placed Spider-Man reference, the Morbius trailer also concludes with a cameo from Michael Keaton’s character Adrian Toomes aka Vulture from Spider-Man: Homecoming. Of course, while the cameo does seem to suggest that Morbius – and therefore Sony’s Venom film – take place…

While the Halloween franchise has been rather uneven regarding the consistency of returning cast members, actress Jamie Lee Curtis has still managed to appear in almost half of the franchise’s installments. Her character Laurie Strode has remained one of the most beloved and iconic final girls in horror film history, and she’s no doubt part of why the 2018 Halloween film was as successful as it was. While her role in the franchise has become synonymous with her evil counterpart, Michael Myers, it turns out she actually also participated in the only installment that had nothing to do with Michael…

Sony has had an interesting run with their take on the Spider-Man franchise and its characters over the last few years. They’ve not only teamed up with Disney to allow Tom Holland’s version of Peter Parker/Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but they’ve been busy making their own film adaptations as well.
