Is the studio going to go back to those at some point, Rothman confirmed \u201cYes\u201d.  Asked if it\u2019ll be a fresh reboot? \u201cYes\u201d. With new people? \u201cYes\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Rothman says the overall deal with Marvel has a \u201cbig upside for us and it\u2019s been one of the great deals for both companies ever. A true win-win deal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He then discussed his frustration with the last film, \u201cSpider-Man: No Way Home,\u201d making $1.9 billion at the box-office, saying it would\u2019ve been over $2 billion but it didn\u2019t get into China.<\/p>\n<p>He then revealed why: \u201cThey just [said] small thing. They said, \u2018No problem. just cut out the Statue of Liberty, which is where the climax takes place. That was the request.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The host points out that\u2019s \u201clike the last 20 minutes of the movie.\u201d  Rothman responds: \u201cYeah, there was that.  And also, I really didn\u2019t look forward to standing up, sitting in there in front of Congress, telling them why I cut the Statue of Liberty out at the request of the Chinese Communist Party.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He then confirmed that there is no Statue of Liberty in the new Spider-Man.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sony Pictures Sony Pictures CEO Tom Rothman has confirmed that the studio will reboot its cinematic universe of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":501694,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[64,63,142132,134,344],"class_list":["post-501693","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-bigslider","tag-entertainment","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/501693","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=501693"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/501693\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/501694"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=501693"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=501693"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=501693"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
