Nice costumes. I feel sorry for the costume designer that their work ended up so marginalized and associated with such a dud of a movie.

its crazy how the sony and disney are still sharing the movie rights and i guess trademarks for the spiderman movies

I might be mistaken, but I don't think that's quite how this is working. I believe the movies rights all still belong to Sony, they're just working with Marvel to make the movies, and I believe the trademarks would just apply to the characters, and those all belong to Marvel.

Yes. Marvel owns the characters, but Sony bought an exclusive license to the movie rights long ago, and they get to keep it as long as they keep making movies (which was probably a large part of the incentive behind their movies about Spidey supporting characters like Venom, Morbius, Madame Web, and Kraven).

Sony doesn't need Marvel's participation to make Spidey movies, but after the Andrew Garfield movies were less successful than they hoped, they made a deal with Marvel Studios and basically let them take charge of the creative direction of the Spidey movies, in exchange for licensing Spidey back to Marvel for inclusion in the Avengers movies.

lol theres a reason why its called film noir

It isn't called that because it's in black and white, it's called that because it involves dark themes and situations, cynical and amoral characters, tragic endings, and an emphasis on literally dark cinematography, an abundance of night scenes, etc. Certainly filming in B&W enhances the dark and shadowy feel of noir, but there are plenty of color noir films: Chinatown, Body Heat, Blade Runner, L.A. Confidential, much of the Coen Brothers' and Quentin Tarantino's canons, etc.

More specifically, it's believed that the French film critic who coined the term, Nino Frank, based it on "Série noire," a publishing imprint featuring French translations of American hard-boiled detective fiction.

i wonder if the soundtracks will be from the 1930s to 1950s film noir

There's not mention on Wikipedia of who's composing the music for it, but I have feeling it will have it's own music, and won't be taking music from old movies. I could see whoever they pick, if they haven't yet, going for a film noir style, but I can't imagine they'd use music from actual noir movies.
