By The butt of two jokes at the Oscars last night, “Madame Web” has marked the latest failure of Sony to get its Marvel universe outside of Spider-Man going.
It follows on from the successful if mixed reception to the “Venom” films, and the outright lambasted “Morbius” – the latter of which featured a post-credits scene in which Michael Keaton’s Vulture from “Spider-Man: Homecoming” seems to be pulled from the MCU and zapped into Sony’s Marvel-verse.
In a recent Happy Sad Confused interview with Michael Keaton to promote the actor’s new directorial effort “Knox Goes Away,” the former Batman star says not only does that brief scene make any sense to him, it made none to those who made the film as well.
Asked he knew what the cameo was or what it was leading to, he says:
“No. No idea. None, zero. Then they said okay, and even they couldn’t quite explain it. [I was like], ‘I really don’t quite know what you’re talking about or [who] some of these people are’, and [the director] said, ‘Okay, let me explain. But it was complicated because they were, obviously, looking down the road.”
Eventually he just went with the plan, saying: “And I go, ‘Okay, I’m in. Let’s try it.’” As for reprising the Batman role again, he says: “I don’t think about it much, but never say never.”
