Spidey Producer on If Miles Morales Will Appear in the MCU

WARNING: This article contains MAJOR SPOILERS about Spider-Man: Homecoming. If you haven't seen the wall-crawler's new movie yet then bookmark this page, go see the movie, and come back and read this interview with the producers!

I recently chatted with Spider-Man: Homecoming producers Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal about the Marvel-Sony movie, during which time we spoke on the record about some of the biggest moments and spoilers in the movie.

In the movie, Davis does mention having a nephew so I asked Feige if there was a real chance of fans seeing Miles on the big screen in the future.

WWE Great Balls of Fire’s 5 Best (and 4 Worst) Moments

It's time to look back on WWE's Great Balls of Fire - the oddly themed and terribly named RAW branded PPV/Network Event that had a surprisingly strong (on paper) card thanks to solid feuds built between Samoa Joe and Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman, Enzo Amore and Big Cass, and the Hardys and Shesaro/The Bar.

So how did it all play out? What were the highs and lows? The peaks and valleys? How many balls were there and were they, in fact, on fire? Let's do the thing!

It was a wise move to open the show (Kickoff match, notwithstanding) with Seth vs. Bray since this little angle is sort of a stalling, wheel-spinning storyline for both dudes containing very murky, undefined themes. So might as well catch the crowd at the open when they're hot.
