Chapter 347: Spider-Man 3: The Sinister Six! Venom Joins!

"Baby, what's wrong?"

"Nothing much, just trained a bit too hard last night, it's fine."

"Will that affect the filming?"

"No problem, I'm still that Spider-Man."

"That's good... finally able to film with you again. Do you know how many film offers I turned down?"

With one arm around Xu Can's waist, Emma Stone gently punched Xu Can's chest with her small fist, full of grievance.

"I know, those offers were all turned down by me for you."

"Hateful..."

The day after the Spider-Man versus Black Widow battle once again, Xu Can waited for Emma Stone in New York.

Yesterday's battle consumed too much energy; Black Widow's combat skills improved greatly, it seems her training for playing Black Widow was not in vain.

A Black Widow of mortal flesh could actually fight the mutated Spider-Man to a standstill; Xu Can was truly surprised by her physical constitution.

Fighting, so satisfying!

However, Xu Can still didn't understand why she got so excited when he told Black Widow the plot.

It seems she really wants to act in those two movies, 'Lucy' and 'Her', maybe arrange them next year.

This year probably won't work; next, besides supervising 'The Avengers', acting in 'Spider-Man 3',

there is also an important plan for a sci-fi masterpiece 'The Three-Body Problem'!

'The Three-Body Problem' is absolutely an SSS+ major project; the company will need to tilt all resources to 'The Three-Body Problem' at that time.

This is the largest-scale original movie Xu Can has filmed since his transmigration.

Referencing only the original novel, and the future TV versions of 'The Three-Body Problem' by Wang Luyi and Yu Hewei,

the movie version has no reference material at all; it relies entirely on him writing the script and designing the storyboards, making it hardly different from an original movie.

Fortunately, Xu Can awakened a god-level director talent,

and also adapted parts in movies like 'Dying to Survive', 'Captain America', 'Iron Man 2', 'Spider-Man 2', etc., creating quite a bit of original content.

He has gained some experience with original movies, and with the reference of the TV version and the original novel,

Xu Can is quite confident about the movie version of 'The Three-Body Problem'.

Of course, the scheduling for 'The Three-Body Problem' plan is around November at the end of the year, depending on the production progress of 'The Avengers' and 'Spider-Man'.

If everything goes smoothly, the first movie of 'The Three-Body Problem', 'The Three-Body Problem: Memories of Earth', will be released in the summer of 2010!

Just in time to coordinate with the simultaneous release of the original book 'The Three-Body Problem 3', creating a world-shaking momentum!

In 2011, 'The Three-Body Problem 2: The Dark Forest' will be launched accordingly, and in 2012 'The Three-Body Problem 3: Death's End', bringing the trilogy to a perfect close.

This schedule is actually quite fast; for example, 'The Wandering Earth', each part is separated by four years.

Xu Can hadn't even seen 'The Wandering Earth 3' before his transmigration; he didn't even have the chance to see the solar helium flash in a cinema.

It seems he can only continue filming 'The Wandering Earth' trilogy after 'The Three-Body Problem' to make up for the regret.

Back to 'Spider-Man 3', with the formation of the 'Avengers 1' crew, the 'Spider-Man 3' crew is actually also proceeding simultaneously.

Xu Can's capable assistant Vanessa is recruiting candidates at headquarters, with director Marc Webb conducting the casting.

Marc Webb even has the idea of the Russo brothers; he plans to have Xu Can co-direct 'Spider-Man 3'.

Xu Can is already an Oscar Best Director, and even has the chance to win Best Director for two consecutive Oscars, achieving an unprecedented feat.

He, Marc Webb, still rose to fame thanks to Xu Can; he really feels ashamed and inferior.

In the end, he was persuaded by Xu Can:

"No, the film style must be consistent; I believe in you. At worst, we can discuss it during filming."

If the lead actor is strong enough, they can indeed greatly influence the movie's creation, and the director might become a puppet.

For example, Stephen Chow; in the movies he participates in, the directors are often awkward, and some people are unwilling to cooperate with him.

Stephen Chow's personal style is really too strong.

Xu Can is slightly better; he doesn't forcibly interfere with creation, only has his own control over the general direction.

This makes Xu Can have very good relationships with the several directors he has cooperated with,

he influenced the movie creation, gained a bunch of friends, and thrived in Hollywood.

"Alright, casting is basically complete. You can take a look; if there are any inappropriate parts, I will adjust them."

Marc Webb sent the casting list to Xu Can's email.

Xu Can glanced at it; it basically met his expectations.

Spider-Man is naturally himself, the Spider-Gwen of the parallel world is Emma Stone,

Vulture is the original Batman actor, Michael Keaton;

Electro is the black Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx;

Mysterio is Jake Gyllenhaal;

Sandman was originally intended to invite Thomas Haden Church from the original 'Spider-Man 3',

later an actor volunteered, and Xu Can agreed to his request.

That is "Zhao Xina", John Cena! A former WWE wrestler!

Later, the meme "I love eating ice cream" exploded in popularity, making his popularity much higher.

Now Zhao Xina has just left WWE and hasn't made a name for himself in Hollywood yet; Xu Can belongs to the category of giving him a boost.

Doctor Octopus is still the original Alfred Molina,

as for the last seat, Xu Can replaced the obscure character Hunter Claven with the imprisoned Little Green Goblin!

Besides the Sinister Six, there is also an anti-hero who is neither good nor evil, who will join Spider-Man's side as a temporary companion.

That is the Renqifan Sect's Venom! Played by the original Tang Mu Hardy.

Michael Keaton, Jake Gyllenhaal, James Franco, Jamie Foxx, Tang Mu Hardy — these five are already Hollywood male actors with extremely high popularity!

Each one of them has the ability to single-handedly carry a box office!

Relatively speaking, Zhao Na's Doctor Octopus is a role with a smaller star power.

Xu Can has reason to believe that once the casting of "Spider-Man 3: The Sinister Six" is exposed, it will cause an enormous stir!

As for the plot, with the limited runtime of a film, the origin stories of the Six plus Venom simply cannot all be filmed,

Too many characters, too complex — the difficulty for film creation increases almost geometrically.
