Good Morning Collider Crew! Now that Spider-Man is officially a part of the Marvel Universe (and was part of Team Iron Man), do you think that Peter Parker had to sign the Sokovia Accords? If not, do you think the film will address it at all? Also, do you think the odds are above or below 80% that the newSpider-Mantrailer beats the number of views thatThe Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2trailer had in a 24 hour period? Thanks for all the entertainment!

Greetings Collider Crew. One the most anticipated films for many people next isWar for the Planet of the Apes, #ApesofHorses. My question is, do you think it will cross the billion-dollar mark? Rise made almost $482 million dollars & then Dawn made a little over $710 million dollars. I personally feel it will come close but won’t due to the massive competition it will face in July. Does it rely on the quality and so – if it’s the best in the Apes series, will it have a chance? Thanks for taking my question & bring on the Filthy!
