Spider-Man isn't so new to the Marvel-verse after all.Tom Holland, who plays teen Peter Parker in the upcoming confirmed a long-held fan theory about Peter's first introduction in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.Holland himself debuted as the character in 'Captain America: Civil War,' but a younger version of Peter appeared way back in 2010's 'Iron Man 2.' In that movie, there's a scene where a little boy wearing an Iron Man mask faces off against a killer robot. Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) flies in at the last second to save the boy, and then tells him, 'Nice work, kid.'
Fans theorized that this kid in the mask was Peter Parker. He would be the right age, the Expo was held in Queens (Peter's neighborhood), and he's a big fan of Iron Man.Now, Holland has confirmed that theory. 'It is Peter Parker,' he told theHe added, 'I can confirm that as of today.
I literally had a conversation with Kevin Feige only 20 minutes ago. Maybe I've just done a big, old spoiler, but it's out there now. Crazy dino park guide. I like the idea that Peter Parker has been in the universe since the beginning.' 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' opens in theaters July 7.
We're barely a month and a half into 2020, and already we have a strong contender for. Taken at face value, may seem like a very loose adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' iconic story The Man in the Iron Mask, starring Jackie Chan and Arnold Schwarzenegger for some reason. But the truth, appropriately enough, is much, much stranger.If you haven't already, check out the new trailer in the embed above or the video player below, then follow along as we try to break down what this nutty fantasy movie is actually about. Arnold Schwarzenegger vs. Sort ofDespite the title, The Iron Mask doesn't really draw much inspiration from The Man in the Iron Mask, beyond a subplot involving a character locked away in prison wearing an iron mask. But in this case, said prisoner is the Russian Tsar, who's been imprisoned in the Tower of London.
The Tsar happens to be locked up alongside Chan's character, 'Master.' Master is the one who orchestrates a jailbreak and winds up battling Schwarzenegger's prison guard character, James Hook. Wait, as in Captain Hook? We're not exactly sure on that front. But none of this actually matters, because the trailer is doing its best to disguise the fact that neither Chan nor Schwarzenegger are the stars of the movie.
In fact, they only appear for a few minutes during this Tower of London sequence. What Is The Iron Mask Actually About?Instead, the actual star of The Iron Mask is Jason Flemyng, who plays a globetrotting adventurer named Jonathan Green. The movie is actually about Green's journey from England to China and his encounters with various colorful characters and magical creatures along the way, including the mythical Dragon King.
The Tower of London is just one stop along that journey. The movie also stars Charles Dance as Lord Dudley and in one of his final roles as an ambassador. The Iron Mask was originally released in Russia and China under the title Viy 2: Journey to China. It's a sequel to a 2014 movie called Viy, which in turn was based on an 1835 horror novella by Ukranian author Nikolai Gogol. The original Viy movie also follows Flemyng's character as he travels through Eastern Europe and explores a cursed Ukranian forest. So basically, you have a Russo-Chinese film that draws in fragments of all sorts of public domain stories from both East and West (The Man in the Iron Mask, Peter Pan, Journey to the West, etc.), and with a cast comprised of equal parts British, Chinese, Russian, and American actors.
Plus Chan and Schwarzenegger, who seem to be there mainly to help give the film a marketing boost. That doesn't seem to have helped its box office prospects overseas, but who knows? Maybe a title change and one really weird trailer is enough to build a following in the US. If nothing else, we can't imagine audiences responding to The Iron Mask any worse than they did The Grudge and The Turning, both of which. And regardless, we have.
