Hailee Steinfield’s engagement to Buffalo Bills superstar quarterback Josh Allen is making life difficult for her Spider-Man co-star, Shameik Moore, on social media.
Over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, actress Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen announced their engagement to much fanfare from her 20.4 million followers and disappointment from single men.
According to the post’s caption, the epic proposal, which saw the couple in front of a flower arch, with Allen on bended knee proposing with a candlelit walkway in front of the ocean, occurred on 11•22•24, during Buffalo Bills’ bye week.
What is easily good news for the couple has been turned into a moment to clown Steinfeld’s Across The Spider-Verse co-star. It’s been a running joke about Moore’s apparent crush on his animated Gwen Stacy.
Social Media Can Be Cruel
Users on X, formerly Twitter, have been trolling Moore, reminding him that after Steinfeld said yes to Allen, he is the only actor to play the wallcrawler who has not hooked up with his co-star.
Moore did seem to respond to the trolling with a very cryptic message on his X account: “There’s still more people to meet. More opportunities to come. And more chances to try. Live, learn, apply.”
Moore wasn’t done reacting, writing in two follow-up posts, “Also crazy what yall decide to engage with when I post,” adding, “yall been twisting my words and fuckin wit my name for years now.”
In reply to his post, a user on X wrote, “in every other universe gwen stacy falls for spider-man” shameik really is the original anomaly.”
Others offered encouragement, telling him to use the moment to deliver a performance of his life in the next animated Miles Morales adventure.
“PICK YOURSELF UP BROTHA THIS IS NOT HOW YOU RESPOND I NEED YOU TO DELIVER THE PERFORMANCE OF A LIFETIME,” another post on X said.
Damn, y’all couldn’t even let that man enjoy his Thanksgiving break.

Wait, are we going to finally get ALL the Spider-Man actors in one single film together?
No, we’re not talking about Spider-Man: No Way Home, we’re talking about Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse as the latest trailer teases some voice over work from Tobey McGuire (OG Spider-Man), Andrew Garfield (Overlooked Spider-Man), and Tom Holland (Zendaya’s Boyfriend Spider-Man). In the minds of fans it’s only right that the three live-action Spider-Men finally get familiar with the lone Black Spider-Man, Miles Morales (Shamiek Moore) even if it’s only in animated form.
In the 30-second clip to the upcoming Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse, we hear McGruire, Garfield and Zendaya’s man (we love ya, Tommy), speak about the hardships that come with being a Spider-Man from previous films before Moore gives his own assertion on the matter saying “Anyone can wear the mask… but how you wear it, that’s what matters.”
While Sony has been mum on the possibility of McGuire, Garfield or Holland actually do some voice over work in Across The Spider-Verse, after the Into The Spider-Verse released, the writers did say they wanted Tobey McGuire to take on the voice of OG Spider-Man (that gig went to Chris Pine), but didn’t think he’d be interested in reprising his iconic role. Then years later we got No Way Home and all of a sudden, maybe he wouldn’t be so opposed to returning to the Marvel universe even in animated form. As for Andrew Garfield, y’all know he’s itching to be Spidey in anyway he can and surely wouldn’t turn down a check these days. Tom Holland, he seems like he’d be down for it.
Guess we’ll have to wait till June 2nd to find out if any of the three or all three make guest cameos but until then check out the quick spot below and let us know if you think they’ll surprise fans with some voice over work in the comments section below.

It’s Cinemacon time, and to kick things off, Sony showed off its slate of upcoming films.
Cinemacon is underway in Las Vegas, and Sony came through with some updates on a bevy of its highly-anticipated movies.
We already reported on the upcoming sequel to Ghostbusters: Afterlife and The Equalizer 3, but those were not the only films Sony has up its sleeve.
Kraven the Hunter

For those who have forgotten, Sony still owns the rights to Spider-Man despite his exploits in the MCU. The studio is still actively building out its cinematic universe around the web-slinger and his villain, despite how awful you thought the Venom and Morbius films were.
Another famous Spidey villain getting his feature-length film is Kraven the Hunter. The film’s star, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who played Quicksilver in the MCU, addressed the crowd in a prerecorded message IGN reports revealing that Kraven the Hunter will be the first R-rated Marvel movie for Sony.
A roughly 2-minute teaser trailer was shown, and in it, Taylor-Johnson’s Kraven is performing some gruesome kills. Russell Crowe is in the film and will play the father of Sergei Kravinoff. It was also revealed The Rhino is the antagonist in the film, and in a clip, Alessandro Nivola, who is playing the villain in the movie, skin can be seen changing into rhino skin.
The trailer also featured a brief shot of Sergei holding up his signature fur costume that Kraven wears in the comic books.

Attendees saw 14 minutes of the highly-anticipated animated sequel, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Per IGN, the footage showed a grounded Miles Morales defying his parents’ orders to stay in his room to hang out with Gwen Stacy, aka Spider-Gwen.
The two young heroes swing through Brooklyn before stopping and talking about saving dimensions from collapsing, the possibility of dating each other, and how dangerous that could be for the both of them.
The footage ends with Gwen and Miles at a festival, with Gwen leaving and Mile’s mother showing up to comfort her son, giving him confidence and support for his next mission.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse swings into theaters on June 2.
Bad Boys 4
We knew Bad Boys 4 was on the way, and now we know the film is currently in production. Will Smith and his co-star Martin Lawrence appeared a Cinemacon virtually from the film set.
Lawrence told the audience the film was in its fourth week of shooting, with Smith adding he was “hyped” and “excited” about what he and the rest of the crew have been working on.
Of course, Lawrence threw in some comedy relief, adding, “glad they weren’t there because they’re being paid to be on set.”
