Several new Spider-Man spin-offs were reportedly revealed after the news that Spider-Punk is getting his own movie made its way online. After its live-action Spider-Men universe went out in a blaze of glory, Sony Pictures returned to the drawing board with its wall-crawling big-screen fare. In doing this, it reevaluated what it wants to accomplish with its cinematic takes on Spidey and the characters around him.
One bright spot on Sony’s sole Spider-Man ventures is the animated Spider-Verse films, which have (to this point) produced two of the best-reviewed superhero movies of all time in Into the Spider-Verse and Across the Spider-Verse. So, for its future web-slinging adventures, Sony seems to be leaning into what works.
In the wake of Daniel Kaluuya’s Spider-Punk movie getting officially revealed, news of two new animated Spider-Man spin-offs popped up on social media. Responding to the announcement of the Spider-Punk film, insider Daniel Richtman posited that he’s heard two more animated Sony Pictures Spider-Man films are in the works, revolving around Venom and Spider-Woman:
“There’s also an animated Spider-Women and Venom films in development.”
Before this, the future of Sony’s Spidey-based fare (outside of Spider-Verse and its MCU co-productions with Marvel Studios) was relatively unclear; however, now it seems as though the studio has a new direction: animated spin-offs centered on other Spider-Man-adjacent characters.
It is unclear if either the Venom or Spider-Woman animated movies would be centered around characters already seen on screen (either Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock for Venom or Issa Rae’s Jessica Drew for Spider-Woman).
Given Kaluuya’s involvement in the newly announced Spider-Punk, one cannot count out these past character/actor pairings for these other two new Spidey spin-offs.
The Spider-Punk movie was recently revealed in a new Deadline report, with Kaluuya set to reprise his role as the anti-establishment superhero from the beloved Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Kaluuya will star in the animated feature and co-write the script.
The Future of Spider-Man at Sony
Sony Pictures
After months of wondering, the picture of Sony’s future Spider-Man plans finally became clearer.
Since The Amazing Spider-Man in 2012, Sony’s live-action Spider-Man films have floundered. The studio has failed to produce any even middling movies centered around the character outside the Tom Holland MCU Spider-Man movies and the Spider-Verse film.
After the disastrous Kraven the Hunter last December, something had to change. What that would look like, though, remained a massive question mark for fans.
However, the studio seems to have found its new direction and is embracing it with all its might: animated Spider-Man spin-offs. This is a smart move, seeing just how successful Sony has been with its Spider-Verse saga.
Both Spider-Verse films are some of the most celebrated of the genre, and with its upcoming third (and final) movie, Beyond the Spider-Verse, coming in 2027, why not set up several animated spin-offs spurring from the Multiversal web-slinging epic?
This at least gives the studio three more movies on the runway to rethink its live-action Spider-Man strategy while capitalizing on the part of the Spidey brand that works well for the Hollywood giant.
