VENOM 2: Let There Be Carnage
|
Written By Alaina Mast
Entertainment Editor On October 1, 2021, Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures released the second movie of the Venom series, the original idea coming from the Spider-Man comics. Venom 2: Let There Be Carnage stars Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock and Venom, Woody Harrelson as Cletus Kasady and Carnage, Steven Graham as Detective Patrick Mulligan, and Michelle Williams as Anne Weying. According to ‘The Hollywood Reporter’ Venom 2 made $90.1 million in the first three days of the release, which is the biggest box office weekend since the COVID-19 pandemic started. In comparison, Venom, the first of the two, opened to $80.3 million in 2018 during its initial release. Before Venom 2’s release, Black Widow was the holder of the highest box office opening since the pandemic, earning almost $81 million. Venom, which was released 3 years prior, is about a journalist, Eddie Brock, who is trying to take down Carlton Drake, the founder of Life Foundation, an American genetics corporation. While investigating the corporation, Eddie’s body merges with the alien Venom, giving him the ability of superhuman strength. Venom 2: Let There Be Carnage, on the other hand is quite different from the first movie. It starts out showing Eddie Brock still struggling to coexist with Venom then after a misshapen event, serial killer, Cletus Kasady, also becomes a host to an alien symbiote. Putting their differences aside, Eddie and Venom team up to stop the new coming alien. Venom 2: Let There Be Carnage is set in the summer of 2024, where a lot of the latest Marvel films and shows have been taking place. Movies like Spider-Man: Far From Home, Shang-Chi, and The Eternals, and shows like WandaVision and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier are taking place during this year. When it comes to Marvel movies, the fans are well aware of the mid-credit scene that plays after the movie. And while this is debatable, the mid-credit scene from Venom 2 was the best I have seen and it had excited many other Marvel fans. If you do plan on watching Venom 2: Let There Be Carnage, it is highly recommended to stay for that scene, but if you are a Marvel fan and aren’t going to watch this movie, it is safe to say that you will be missing out.

GET out and go to concerts: 2021 concerts in utah
|
Written By Kailene Meiners
Student Life Editor As the year of 2021 comes to an end, many concerts are being held right here in the valley. In some cases they are completely open and back to normal as concerts were before COVID hit, but others do require minimal restrictions. Before a performance, certain concert halls will need confirmation of a vaccination, or a negative COVID-19 test. Audiences will need a vaccination card or a negative test to attend this fall's Amy Grant and Los Angeles Azules shows at Eccles Theater. “To keep everyone touring across the country without interruption and to protect the health and safety of fans, Live at the Eccles will require all fans to provide proof of vaccination or a negative test in order to attend our shows until further notice,” according to a Live at the Eccles Facebook post. The vaccination requirements are sparking anger among some fans, but others see no harm, as it is the only truly safe way to have concerts completely back to normal. Artists John Legend rescheduled his tour multiple times before finally taking the road to share his “Bigger Love” album. The singer originally had mixed feelings about returning to touring in the first place, but when asked about how he felt about his final decision he seem enthusiastic about the result: “There are a lot of folks who have been telling me on social media that this is the first show that they have been to since the pandemic... I feel honored that they would come to their first show with me and I feel a responsibility to give them a great time. So I want to give them a great time and I want it to be celebratory and full of love and connection and inspiration.”(John Legend). John Legend will be at the Sandy Amphitheater on October 2nd, but if you were too late to get tickets don’t even worry, many more shows will be taking place in Utah in the next few months. Another artist performing soon for example is Daughtry on November 30th at the Complex in Salt Lake City. Again one who had to cancel his tour, a CCHS student could not be more excited about his appearance: “I think it’s really great that artists are able to come back out and share with us in person again, Daughtry is someone I listened to all through the pandemic so it’d be really cool to hear him.” Many other touring artists include but are not limited to, JP Saze on October 26th, Jeremy Zucker on October 30th, and Beach Bunny on December 1st.

NEW NINTENDO switch GAMES COMING OUT IN 2022
|
Written By Madison McGee
Staff Writer Hold onto your Nintendo Switch because there are so many new and highly anticipated games coming out in 2022 which are going to be awesome. A lot of the games that I’m excited for are coming out sometime in the next few years. It seems like 2022 is too long of a wait but an important person at Nintendo, Shigeru Miyamoto, once said, “A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad.” Quality things take time to produce. So, while we’re waiting for the release of these games, we can talk about them instead. There are too many games coming out within the next two years to fully discuss them all, but there are two that I want to highlight: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is set to be released during Spring 2022. This game captures all 9 Star Wars movies, and I think that this will be one of the coolest games ever. There’s going to be well-made cut-scenes, dynamic battles, a wide range of characters, and more. “Fans can play through all nine Episodes of the core saga, travel through hyperspace and explore over 20 unlockable planets...Players can also unlock and choose from over 300 characters.” |
Along with many others, I grew up playing the LEGO games, and I remember especially loving the LEGO Star Wars games, so this is going to be really nostalgic for me and the rest of the community.
The second game I was to discuss which is understandably the most anticipated game that will come out in 2022- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sequel. This is probably the game that I’m most looking forward to playing seeing as the first one was so amazing. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was ahead of its time, with a compelling story, amazing soundtrack, and breathtaking graphics, it did not disappoint. The first game actually won multiple awards including “Game of the Year” and many others. There are definitely high expectations set for the sequel but judging from the trailer, which was released on June 15, 2021, this game seems like it will be perfect. The trailer literally left me speechless, I was so in awe and shocked at how amazing everything was. There were so many elements, and it’s a lot to unpack and analyze but there’s a few things to note. “There’s some paragliding up in the clouds, along with more a freefall mechanic that seems ripped right out of Skyward Sword, and a new glove that looks to be taking the place of the Sheikah slate for Breath of the Wild 2...There’s even a short clip of a splashed puddle… reverting in time?” |
Along with that, it shows the Hyrule Castle lift up at the end, surrounded by smoke, as the sun sets. The music choice for this trailer is so interesting and perfect, and I can’t wait to hear all the main themes in the game.
I can’t tell which one I’m more excited for but I do know that they will both be amazing. Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 TrailerList of other anticipated Nintendo games coming out:

DINOSAURS: The Opinion of the Students at COrner
|
LUKE FEATHERSON
STAFF WRITER Dinosaurs are widely regarded as very cool animals. This may sound like an opinion- however, it is an irrefutable fact. There Is a very rampant myth that dinosaurs are Not cool- not only is this statement filled with misinformation, and this statement is usually involved with emotion. So I set my life aside and looked around the school to find just how misinformed corner canyon is- what is the Consensus among us about dinosaurs. I began by asking my CCHS chronicle buddies- “Yes I like Dinosaurs” - Claims one of my peers “I really like brachiosaurs” Claims Stephanie Guzman-De La Hoz It would appear my Journalism friends are correct so far, so I went around the school and interviewed people. Sam Free claims, “Dinosaurs are very cool- you just like- gotta respect them, if you don't its an outrage” However- Sam says that dinosaurs are only strong when they don't need to deal with asteroids. Sam afterward makes a very bold claim- “I could beat a velociraptor in a boxing match” Noah Geertson Comes around and says that velociraptor was his favorite dinosaur. We discussed and we both believed that dinosaurs would have evolved intelligence. |
“If dinosaurs developed intelligence- they would surely be racist” and even says that we would eventually get into a world war with dinosaurs- “Dinosaurs should be around- so we can make a peace treaty with them.” I'm now getting curious about what Dinosaurs corner students could take in a fight. Noah says he could take “A bunch of Compsognathus in a fight- with a scythe- and a velociraptor if he had knee pads.”
Boston Carlson claims “I could take a Trex in a fight” when asked how to deal with the Trex in a fight- She says “I don't know- but I surely would not Handcuff the dinosaurs.” and even says she could, “Take a second Trex if I had a knife” Kenzie Zimmermann claims to be able to take A velociraptor in a fight- and could “Take 2 velociraptors with a knife- but I would be wounded” I asked Kenzie if she could take a Trex. Kenzie said she could- when asked how- she would “Climb on top of the Trex- they can't get you up top. We both agreed that dinosaurs would evolve intelligence- and Kenzie says she would “Be in a group project with a dinosaur- so long as they actually do the work” POSTED 10/4/21 |

MET GALA 2021: biggest CELEBRITY event of the year
|
Written By Marley Richardson
Staff Writer The Met Gala is an annual fundraising gala hosted by the Costume Institute of New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is known for being a red carpet event attended by celebrities dressed in over the top attire created by exclusive fashion designers. The theme for this years Met Gala was ‘American Independence’. This years Met Gala was smaller due to the ongoing pandemic with about a third of the usual guest list invited. The Met Gala has been blowing up the media and has made its triumphant return on September 13th and the expectations surrounding Met Gala were understandably high. This exclusive event also marks the opening of its annual spring exhibition. This year the exhibit is split into two parts. The first part being titled “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion” and is a celebration of American design. Despite what many might argue, American fashion has a rich and iconic history that fans were hoping to see play out on the white carpets of the Met Gala. With such source material, the options were endless and the room for interpretation ample. |
Each year, the Met Gala never fails to draw a crowd of at-home fashion critics who both celebrate and side-eye every gown and suit. While some fans were left questioning whether everyone got the memo, we can’t overlook the shining list of stars who absolutely understood the assignment for the Met Gala 2021.
Two celebrities that surprised the media was Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. Both celebrities dressed in full black clothing head to toe covering every inch of their skin including their face. Many of their fans thought of it as a joke. Kim and Kanye have also received controversy with some saying how hijabs, full face veils, and other forms of covering within the Muslim religion receives hate for it but Kim and Kanye gets praised and compliments. Kim Kardashian stated that the reason behind her look is she wanted to make a new subculture and fashion statement. The source explains that there’s no face, no logo, but everyone knows it’s her. All in all, the Met Gala would be considered a success. The attendees went all out and definitely made it one to remember. POSTED 9/26/21 |

Olivia Rodrigo: A Disney Star to the next Music STar
|
Written By Madison McGee
Staff Writer Olivia won the VMA awards for Best New Artist, Song of the Year (drivers license), and Push Performance of the year (drivers license). Olivia Rodrigo sang her record-breaking song, “good 4 u” for her VMAs performance. Nothing was less than perfect when it came to Olivia Rodrigo’s first performance at the VMAs. It can easily be said that the openings to her performances are absolutely iconic, and her first VMAs opening performance was not an exception. Purple lights shone behind Olivia, as she literally descended from above on a purple cloud. The way in which she performed the song fit perfectly with the genre- she understood the assignment. Olivia even high-fived her fans, and then joined the rest of her dancers to finish the song while confetti exploded throughout the crowd. Olivia did not disappoint with the ending of her performance. After singing the last line, she stared into the camera and then punched it with her microphone, shattering it. Before Olivia Rodrigo became a record-breaking music artist, she was an actor. |
Olivia’s hit song, “drivers license” was released on January 8, 2021, and it quickly became popular. This record-breaking song was the first song of 2021 to hit 1 billion streams, and the song spent 8 consecutive weeks in the number 1 spot. This song also broke the Spotify record for having the most streams in a single week (65,873,080 streams, according to Spotify’s global weekly Top 200 chart). It also had the most streams in a day for a non-holiday song.
Shortly after on April 1, 2021, she released another single that reached number 3, “Deja vu,” which is one of my favorites, and then she released “good 4 u” on May 14, 2021, which broke her own record of having the most global spotify streams in a week and it spent 7 consecutive weeks in the number 1 spot. On May 21, 2021, Olivia Rodrigo released her highly anticipated debut album, SOUR, and it did not disappoint. This album broke so many records, and it’s a no-skip album for many people. She’s the first female artist to chart 11 songs on Billboard’s Top 100’s top 30, having two number 1 songs. Her album also broke the global Spotify record for the biggest opening week for an album by a female artist. It’s called SOUR because it expresses the sour emotions that people feel. This album ranges from ballads to pop-rock music. If you haven’t already, give SOUR a listen. |
I think it’s really cool to see someone I watched on Disney Channel become one of the top pop artists in the world.

The Series Continues: THE next Michael vey book releasing soon
|
Written By Marley Richardson
Staff Writer In 2011, Richard Paul Evans released the beginning of a series: Michael Vey. The first book was named, ‘Michael Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25’. The story follows Michael Vey, a teenager with the ability to pulse or surge electricity out of the palms of his hands. Michael Vey is a 15 year old teenager with Tourette's Syndrome and an electrical superpower that he desperately works to keep hidden from the world. His abilities allow him to shock people through physical contact whether its the skin or through metal much like an electric eel. He manages to remain inconspicuous and "normal" until the high school bullies, Jack, Mitchell and Wade, attack him. Michael loses control and shocks them, all in front of a popular cheerleader Taylor Ridley. Michael worries that Taylor will tell everyone what she saw, but when she seeks him out over the next few days, Michael figures out that she also has electrical abilities. Michael, Taylor, and Ostin, Michael's genius best friend, form a small club called The Electroclan which is for people with unique electrical abilities. Michael and Taylor discover that they were both born at the Pasadena General hospital in California within a few days of each other, and that many infants born in that same time in the same hospital had mysteriously died. Soon after this discovery, the three of them realize that Michael and Taylor are being tracked by a secret organization called the Elgen. Both Michael and Taylor receive scholarships from the Elgen Academy but they grow nervous. When Michael tells his mother about the scholarship on his birthday a few days later, she is proud and excited, until he mentions the name of the school. Without explaining herself, she makes him leave PizzaMax, the restaurant where they are eating. On their way to the car, a man attempts to rob them. Michael shocks him, and another man appears, accompanied by two teenagers. The man identifies himself as Dr. James "Jim" Hatch. He knows about Michael and Taylor's abilities. The teenagers with him also have special electrical abilities. One of the teenagers, Zeus, shocks his mother, and the other, Nichelle, drains Michael's electricity until he passes out. Michael wakes up in a hospital and is told that his mother has been kidnapped. The story continues on as Michael, Taylor, Ostin, Jack, and Wade set on to save his mother. The story goes on ending in 7 books. This series is amazing and I highly recommend to all those interested in sci-fi and adventure. POSTED 9/15/21 |

New Percy Jackson Television series coming soon
|
Written By Kailene Meiners
Student Life Editor Did you grow up reading Percy Jackson? For the past year or so, fans of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series have been patiently waiting for their promised adapted TV show. Work has just now been gone into the casting of the show after a long period of script writing. The author of the book series, Rick Riordan, has kept his fans in the loop of the process every step of the way. This choice has both helped with the build up, but also increased the anxiousness as fans realize how far away the making and releasing of the show actually is. The character of Percy Jackson is a teenager when we first meet him in the pages of The Lightning Thief, bouncing around schools with his single mother, Sally. After they are attacked by monsters from Greek mythology, Percy learns that he is the half-human son of one of the Olympian gods, and is brought to Camp Half-Blood to learn alongside other demigods. The rest of the series follows his adventures, leading up to an inevitable battle discussed throughout the series. The goal for the show is to follow the series, which each season a book, but the initial goal is to adapt the first book into the series and reevaluate based off of the reactions. The upcoming series is a chance to revive the franchise as a whole, as it strives to bring older grown up fans together with the new targeted age group. Every day we learn more and more about the series, it’s not set to release until 2023. Despite the far out time frame, the hype has not died down as fans leach on to any new info they can get. POSTED 9/10/21 
I AM CONFIDENT IT WILL BE THE SHOW WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR.

looking for a new hero? look no further than shang-chi

By Marley Richardson
Staff Writer On August 16th, 2021 Marvel Studios and Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings premiered in Los Angeles starring Simu Liu Shang-chi along with Awkwafina, Meng’er Zhang, Fala Chen, and many other important characters. The movie will be officially released on September 3rd, 2021. The story is one of the many movies in phase 4 of the MCU. Shang-chi was inspired by many movies and tv shows in the 1970s specifically by the film star Bruce Lee. This also led to comics made such as “Master of Kung Fu.” The film received positive reviews from critics, praising the choreography of the action scenes, exploration and representation of Asian culture, and the performances from Liu and Leung. The plot revolves around a character that discovered ten rings which are mystical weapons with grant their user with immortality and great power. The storyline takes place after the blip that happened in Avengers: Infinity War when |
Thanos snapped his fingers and half the universe disappeared.
The main character Shang-chi is accompanied by his best friend Katy. They are on a bus on their way to work when they are attacked by the Ten Rings. Whilst Shang-chi fights them off, he came to realization that his pendant given to him by his mother had been taken. Shang-chi is now on a mission to stop the Ten Rings and prevent chaos and danger. Shang-chi has shown great production and action. Viewers have said that it is a unique style of storytelling that stands out from any of Marvels titles. This movie really gives a relatable stance to people apart of the asian culture. Many Marvel movies/characters don’t show too much asian representation and this movie did a great job of showing it. This film has received fantastic ratings and 92% on rotten tomatoes. It was also rated a 8.1/10 on IMDB. The most important point of the movie is Shang-chi is the first Asian superhero in the MCU so it’s important that all people interested to go watch this movie right away. POSTED 9/8/21 |

The Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋節)
|
By Madison McGee
Staff Writer The Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋節) is coming up! The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, is an important traditional holiday about family, food, worship, and celebration. It is celebrated every year, during the time in which the moon is at its brightest and fullest, on the 15th day of the eight month in the lunar calendar, or from September to the beginning of October in the Gregorian calendar. It is celebrated in East and Southeast Asia and it has also become one of the major traditional Chinese festivals as famous as Chinese New Year. This festival originates in ancient China. The celebration of the autumn harvest began in the Shang Dynasty and Western Zhou Dynasty. The name first appeared in the “Rite of Zhou.” The "Book of Rites," said, "The Mid-Autumn Moon nourishes senility and eats porridge." As it gained popularity, the festival truly started during the Tang Dynasty, when the emperor began celebrating it and rewarding his officials. It prevailed during the Song Dynasty, when the popular folk festival officially started on the 15th day of the eight month. However, this festival peaked during the Ming and Qing Dynasties when it became an official folk festival in China. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a holiday that brings families together. People come home to eat delicious food together, reunite, and worship their ancestors. Food is a really important part of this holiday. The food signifies completeness and reunion and reflects the moon. We eat a lot of fruit such as 柚子, which is Chinese grapefruit. |
However, dessert is the most notable part of the holiday. Mooncakes are for dessert and they're absolutely delicious. Its round shape symbolizes completeness and reunion, like the moon. There are many different fillings in mooncakes, but my personal favorite is red bean. This festival is based on the Chinese legend about Chang’e. She becomes immortal and lives on the moon, so we worship the moon. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the peak era in which this became a major traditional festival in China, the moon was admired and worshipped. According to the "Zhengde Jiangning County Chronicles," Families come together to watch and admire the moon, which is called, “Celebrating Reunion.” People sitting and drinking together is called, “Full Moon,” and going out to the city is called, “Walking Moon.” Lanterns are also used in celebration. This festival also celebrates the autumn harvest and worship the land gods. According to the lunar calendar, August is the second month of Autumn, which explains why this is the Mid-Autumn festival. This festival is a time to celebrate the autumn harvest, when the crops have ripened and are ready to eat. This is comparable to Thanksgiving in that we give thanks to the harvest, and that food unites people together. Junior Kiera Lee said, "The Mid Autumn Festival is a chance to catch up with family amidst our busy lives. We get to chat, eat moon cakes, view the moon- it’s a great time in general!” POSTED 9/8/21 |
The Legend of Mid-Autumn Festival: Chang'e Flying to the Moon.

There are many versions of this tale. This is the version that I grew up learning.
Ten suns in the sky, making life unbearably hot. By request of the emperor, the great archer, Hou Yi, shot down 9 suns leaving 1. He was rewarded with two elixirs of immortality. Hou Yi was reluctant to consume it, so he gave them to his beautiful wife, Chang’e, for safekeeping. However, Hou Yi’s apprentice, Peng Meng, coveted the immortal medicine and planned to steal it. One day, while Hou Yi was out hunting, Peng Meng went to Chang’e to force the elixir out of her hand. Chang’e consumed both of the elixirs so that the apprentice could not have it. She became immortal and ascended into the skies, taking the moon as her home, so that she could be close to her husband. |

Never underestimate the power of a good book: Books are magic
By Emma Johnson
Science and Tech Editor "Books are a uniquely portable magic." – Stephen King. If you’re here, I don’t need to explain to you what a book is, but I am going to explain to you why they’re important. Every student has had at least one teacher tell them to read books, but how many have heard them say why, other than saying that it’s good for you? According to the school of education and social policy at Merrimack College, there are five major reasons to read books: self-esteem, improved concentration, critical and analytical thinking skills, stronger memory skills, and expanded vocabulary. Today, I’m going to focus on what I think are the most important for high school students: self-esteem, and concentration. First, self-esteem. There are so many books dedicated to self-help, including many written by professional psychologists. These books can be a great way to get help when you’re struggling mentally. Plus, it’s easy to take a book around when you can’t meet with someone in person. Most high school students struggle with some kind of self-esteem. The act of having a book that you can read for help and advice is so important. Dr. Jennifer Lachs says, “There’s no better time to start reading books that help you become the best, happiest, most successful version of yourself than while still at school.” Learning about self-esteem while still in school can be critical for developing those skills later, and you can’t learn them without the book. Next, improved concentration. Harvard neuropsychologist Kim Willment says, “Read something for 30 minutes...By training your brain to monitor if your mind is wandering, you strengthen the monitoring process and the ability to maintain focus on a single task.” When you read, you have to sit down and focus all of your attention on what you’re reading, or else you won’t comprehend it. By doing so, you train your brain to focus. If you read for a specific amount of time, then you can train your brain to focus even when you are under a time limit. High school students need to be able to focus on what they’re reading because we read so much in a day while we’re at school. So, please read books. Posted 9/8/21 |

SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME TRAILER RELEASED
|
Written By Alaina Mast
Entertainment Editor On August 23, 2021, Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures released the first official trailer for the third Spider-Man movie starring Tom Holland (Peter Parker), Benedict Cumberbatch (Stephen Strange), and Zendaya (M.J.). The movie was announced on February 24, 2019, and is set to be released on December 17th later this year. Spider-Man: No Way Home is set after the sequel Spider-Man: Far From Home, directly after Peter Parker’s battle with Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal). In the previous movie, there was a positive fan-based reaction due to a well-written teen romance and suspenseful cliffhanger. The film, being one of the many new additions to Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe focusing on the plot of the Multiverse. The Multiverse was first introduced in Thor: The Dark World (2013), but more prominent in the shows WandaVision (2021), Loki (2021) and What...If? (2021) The fourth, and newest, phase of the MCU has at least ten upcoming movies in the next four years. Some movies include Doctor Strange: In the Multiverse of Madness, Thor: Love and Thunder, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Many fans theorize the comeback of Tobey Maguire’s 2002 Spider-Man and Andrew Garfield’s 2012 Spider-Man in the upcoming movie. The trailer revealed that actor Alfred Molina, who portrayed Dr. Otto Octavius (also known as Doc Ock), and Willem Dafoe, who portrayed Green Goblin in the original live-action depiction of Spider-Man would appear in the movie. Other actors like Jamie Foxx, who played Electro in The Amazing Spider-Man trilogy, and J.K. Simmons is said to be seen as well. With the information, many believe that all three Spider-Man actors would be involved with the Multiverse. Loki Director Kate Herron revealed that the multiverse is more chaotic than fans may think, saying “...but if the branch extends beyond a certain point, it will then connect to other physical timelines…” making it possible that the fan theory could be true. In a 2019 Entertainment Weekly interview, Tom Holland claimed that Spider-Man: Far From Home was his greatest work because of the acting range in the film. In the movie, the audience saw an immense variety of action scenes that we would love to see again in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Executive Producer Kevin Fiege also said the third movie will be "a Peter Parker story that has never been done before on film” in July of 2019. Even if the theories involving Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield coming back aren’t true, it is still safe to say this movie will be a great addition to Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
