Sony is rebooting its Spider-Man universe, the shared films featuring characters like Venom and Morbius. This comes after earlier entries bond at the box office and with critics, aside from the first Venom movie Solid Start. The studio holds rights to the Spider-Man side characters but can't put the main web slinger in their own projects. Meanwhile, Marvel's Tom Holland Spider-Man films raken huge profits like nearly $2 billion for No Way Home and Sony gets a cut too. Fans and observers wonder why Sony keeps pushing without Spider-Man, irritating audiences and failing to build lasting hype. Earlier this week, execs hinted at fresh takes but the track record raises doubts. According to industry chatter, multiverse tricks could let Sony add a different Spider-Man without deal issues, much like DC plans too.
