So I don't know if y'all heard, but Tom Holland (aka the MCU Spider-Man) recently revealed in an interview that he's attached to a new biopic about one of MJ's biggest idols: Fred Astaire. I'm not exactly sure how they got the rights from the Astaire estate, considering that Fred himself has gone on record saying he never wants a biopic to be made about his life, since Hollywood will just end up screwing up the historical accuracy for the sake of drama.
Anyway, I already have an idea for the inevitable post-credits scene:
An elderly version of Astaire meets a young black teenager. He goes up to shake his hand and says:
"Hi, Mr. Astaire. I just wanted to let you know I'm your biggest fan! I learned everything I know by watching your films!"
"You look familiar... what's your name, kid?"
"Michael"
*cuts to black*
(It is a Sony movie, so it's not impossible)
