Sony’s working hard to expand its ‘Spider-Man’ film franchise by focusing new features on various side characters in the lore. We’ve seen this already with “Venom” and its sequel, as well as “Morbius.” This is soon to be followed by “Kraven the Hunter” in 2023.

You’d be right to have a little concern about the future of Sony’s plethora of ‘Spider-Man’ spinoff films after the monumental blunder that is “Morbius.” Hell, even though “Venom” and its sequel did great box office business, there are many that think those films are pretty terrible too. Basically, when Sony isn’t teaming up with Marvel Studios on ‘Spider-Man’ films, fans are a bit skeptical.

If you’re a fan of superhero films or just good films, in general, you have to be excited about “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.” The sequel to ‘Into the Spider-Verse’ (which won the Best Animated Feature Oscar, btw) features animation that looks to push the boundaries of what was even done in the previous film and it actually has an even beefier cast than before. And the cast just keeps growing, as Sony announces even more familiar voices joining the animated sequel.

Is there anything better than watching a major corporation trying to make money off of an internet meme and failing badly? Viral moments are often the product of real enthusiasm on social media, and they are damn near impossible to replicate on purpose.

Is Jon Watts‘ love affair with Marvel Studios over? It might be?

Back in the day, Sony Pictures and Drew Goddard (“The Cabin In The Woods,” “The Martian”) had once been developing a “Sinister Six” film during the Andrew Garfield era of the franchise. “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” ended with a tease for that project, but it ultimately didn’t happen as Sony shuttered that iteration of ‘Spider-Man’ and instead decided to reboot the franchise with Marvel Studios as the producers.

Spider-Man: No Way Home.The actors, who each played the neighbourhood superhero in a different iteration of the character, reflected on the first encounter in the latest Marvel film.“There was just such an open-hearted coming together, embracing each other and supporting each other,” Maguire told Digital Spy. “It was really beautiful.”Garfield added: “Tom, Zendaya, Jacob [Batalon] and Jon [Watts], it was like me and Tobey arrived and all of their arms were just open in a way that felt respectful, really caring, really loving and gave us a lot of freedom to create what we wanted to create.”In other Spider-Man news, Kirsten Dunst said she isn’t ruling out a return to the comic universe to reprise her role as Mary Jane Watson, which she played alongside Maguire.She told Deadline: “There’s still time.

The ‘Spider-Man’ spinoff universe that Sony is creating is about to grow some more. After two successful “Venom” films, the studio is ready to launch its second franchise, “Morbius,” in a couple of weeks.

It’s not a surprise that Sam Raimi loves superheroes. Even before he directed three ‘Spider-Man’ films in the 2000s, the filmmaker already made “Darkman.” So, we’re not all that shocked that he came on board to helm “Doctor Strange in the Multiverses of Madness,” which is arriving in May.

Jared Leto hopes so! The 50-year-old star caught up with ET's Lauren Zima at the 2022 Critics Choice Awards on Sunday where he discussed his upcoming anti-hero role. «I think it's a different take on the Marvel Universe, and it's a brand new character, so I'm super excited to share that with audiences,» he told ET of his role as biochemist-turns-vampire Michael Morbius. In the comics, Morbius served as a villain and antagonist for Spider-Man, so is there a chance that fans could see him and star Tom Holland on the big screen together?«I would love to get in the ring with Spider-Man,» Leto gushed. «I think Tom Holland is amazing, and we'd make quite a dynamic duo.»But when asked if that meant he and Holland, 25, had already filmed something together, Leto insisted, «I'm manifesting.» which also stars Michael Keaton, Matt Smith, and Adria Arjona, hits theaters April 1. The 27th Annual Critics Choice Awards aired live on Sunday, March 13 at 7:00 p.m.

Next up for the studio after “Morbius” in their Spider-Verse is “Kraven The Hunter,” the next villain to receive the solo film treatment.

The “Spider-Man” franchise couldn’t be more popular as “Spider-Man: No Way Home” is approaching $2 billion at the global box office. Sony is looking to continue to flesh out its own cinematic universe without the help of Marvel Studios after the success of the “Venom” films.
