I was confused because I thought the recent Spider-Man movies did really well, but apparently they’re counting Morbius, Madame Web, and Kraven the Hunter as part of the “Spider-Man universe”. Turns out “Spider-Man” movies without Spider-Man in them don’t tend to do well.
For all the people confused about this headline because of the runaway success of the last 5 spider-man films, they’re specifically talking about the spider-man-less spider-man universe films
“You say, ‘$1.9 billion, what’s wrong with [saying] 2?’ Well, it didn’t get into China, but in my mind [the film’s box office is] over 2 [billion] because I know what we would have done in China.”
These people need a fucking reality check, for a litany of reasons.
Spider Man succeeds? Make more!
Spider Man flops? Also make more!
Spider-verse Trilogy: “Am I a joke to you?”
Yeah, reeeally hoping this doesn’t fuck over the third animated Spiderverse film, myself. The first two have been a glorious breath of fresh air as far as animation styles go IMO.
GORGEOUS animation!
How many will star Jared Leto?
For those annoyed with all these Spider-Man films, Sony is obligated to keep making them to avoid losing the film rights. They’re ruining the franchise one movie at a time for this crap. At this point they should just stop and avoid throwing more money away.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but the way it sounds is that they’re not touching Tom Holland’s version of Spiderman, but rather they’re starting from scratch with all the extended Spiderman universe (e.g Venom, sinister-six, Madame Web, Kraven, etc…)
Especially considering Rothman is quoted as saying “Never bet against Kevin Feige”.
Yes. Sony has the rights to everything Spider-Man except for modern normal Spider-Man (Tom Holland is Marvel). Sony made Spider-Verse, Madame Web, Venom, they can only make Spider-universe stuff. They could make a real Spider-Gwen movie and it would probably be a hit. That’s what the trailers for Madame Web looked like it was going to be, until I made the mistake of watching it.
That sounds like fun, who you casting as Gwen?
Chris Pratt.
I was thinking Jack Black.
The sinister six, starring Chris Pratt, Jack Black, Jared Leto, the rock, Timothee chalamet and awkwafina
Knowing Sony was behind the Spider-Verse makes me think maybe they can finally make a good LA one?
I wouldn’t mind a movie about a young J. Jonah Jameson in his investigative reporter days.
Set it in the Spider-Man Noir universe.
hurray. another reboot. just what everyone was asking for.
Make a remake of the Bollywood one. Keep Govinda as Superman. Use all the same effects, but boost the production value. Use the same choreography with floating head digi-doubles, animated by the Little Mermaid FX team.
If you can get the budget over a billion dollars, I’d see it once in theaters.
Do we need another Spider Man movie? In my opinion, the first series were the best…
If Sony wants a superhero universe, why not just adapt InFamous?
It is time to give Italian spiderman a try.
Sony should make a deal with Disney. Allow Disney use the Spider rights on movies while Sony could use marvel rights on games.
