Sony Pictures has confirmed it will reboot its Spider-Man<\/a> spinoff universe films.<\/p>\n In a new interview on The Town With Matt Belloni<\/em> podcast, Tom Rothman, chairman and CEO of the Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group, revealed the studio plans to eventually reboot<\/a> its Spider-Man spinoff movie universe.<\/p>\n Though vague regarding details, Rothman was quick to answer \u201cno\u201d when he was asked if the \u201clarger Spider-Verse\u201d outside of the animated Spider-Verse was \u201cdead,\u201d and he answered \u201cyes\u201d when pressed if Sony will eventually revisit their spinoff IPs via a \u201cfresh reboot [with] new people.\u201d<\/p>\n READ MORE:<\/strong> Spider-Noir<\/em> Show Will Be Available in Color and Black-and-White<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Despite owning the exclusive film rights to Spider-Man, Sony\u2019s most recent Spider-Verse spinoff films such as Morbius<\/em><\/a>, Madame Web<\/em><\/a>, and Kraven the Hunter<\/em><\/a> haven\u2019t exactly been the most well-received by fans or critics.<\/p>\n Whether tonally inconsistent, misaligned with their original source material, or weak in script, these spinoffs within Sony\u2019s Spider-Man Universe, or SSU, have mostly served as expensive misfires for the company.<\/p>\n Madame Web<\/em>, released in February 2024, comes to mind as one of Sony\u2019s worst Spider-Man spinoffs. The movie was a box-office failure, making just a little over $100 million against an $80 million budget. While former Sony Pictures CEO Tony Vinciquerra suggested the film<\/a> starring Dakota Johnson \u201cunder-performed in the theaters because the press just crucified it,\u201d the superhero flick suffered from cheap-looking visual effects, bizarre ADR, a convoluted plot, and weak script, leading to it being viewed more as a meme than a movie.<\/p>\n Released December the same year, Sony\u2019s Kraven the Hunter<\/em> film starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson suffered a similar fate, earning a mere $62 million against an estimated $130 million budget. The movie was criticized for featuring weak dialogue, subpar CGI, and a thin story.<\/p>\n A few years prior, 2022\u2019s Jared Leto-led Morbius<\/em> also flopped thanks to a record-breaking 74 percent second-weekend box-office revenue drop. The internet then turned the vampiric anti-hero movie into a cultural laughingstock with a viral \u201cIt\u2019s Morbin\u2019 Time\u201d campaign that led Sony to drag the dull film back into theaters weeks after release, only for more box-office humiliation.<\/p>\n Still, it hasn\u2019t been all doom and gloom for Sony. Its Tom Hardy-led Venom<\/em><\/a> franchise was hugely successful at the box office, with all three films \u2014 2018\u2019s Venom<\/em>, 2021\u2019s Let There Be Carnage<\/em>, and 2024\u2019s The Last Dance<\/em> \u2014 making major money despite mixed-to-negative critical reviews, thanks largely to strong audience support for the chaotic, fan-favorite character.<\/p>\nWhy\u00a0Sony\u2019s Spider-Man Spinoff Movies Flopped<\/strong><\/h3>\n
