Spider-Man Universe Reboot Focuses on Characters Beyond Spider-Man, Announced by Sony Pictures
Sony Pictures plans to reboot its live-action Spider-Man universe following the poor performance of films like Morbius, Madame Web, and Kraven the Hunter. While other spin-offs struggled, the Venom films starring Tom Hardy were generally well-received. Sony Films CEO Tom Rothman confirmed the reboot on The Town podcast with journalist Matt Belloni, stating definitively that the expanded universe of Spider-Man movies is not dead but will undergo a “complete reset.” This reset will involve new actors, new stories, and potentially new characters within the Spider-Man universe, which focuses on characters connected to Spider-Man but without Spider-Man himself. Rothman did not specify when the reboot would occur. Despite the ongoing Venom, Carnage, and The Last Dance projects, Sony is focusing this reboot on its underperforming spin-off movies. Some speculate that the reset could lead to a live-action adaptation of the animated Spider-Verse franchise, which centers on Miles Morales and has been critically acclaimed as innovative. In the meantime, Sony is preparing for the release of Spider-Man: A New Day, which arrives in Brazilian cinemas on July 30 and worldwide on July 31.
