In less than a month, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the new Spider-Man movie, will be released. Sony has bet everything this year that it will perform extraordinarily well, and this is evident in the marketing campaign they are running: not only advertising but also all those involved speaking with the press.
This has included Tom Holland doing something tremendously unexpected. He has talked about what he hopes for what will come after he stops being Spider-Man.
An actor thinking about the future
In an interview with Empire, Holland talked about how “for whoever is next, whether it’s Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen, Spider-Woman, or something like that, I would love to be involved in creating the next chapter,” emphasizing that it doesn’t have to be Spider-Man, Peter Parker: it could be another superhero who takes up the mantle.
“I don’t know what it will be like. But I could do what Robert Downey Jr. did for me, then I would feel completely happy to step away.”
Here Holland refers to how he debuted in the MCU in Captain America: Civil War, aligning himself with Tony Stark, who became a mentor to his character in his next film, Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thus creating a relationship between the characters that added more meaning and depth to their integration into the Marvel cinematic universe.
Although many people have wanted to see in Holland’s words a hint of what is to come, there is no official plan regarding him stopping being Spider-Man or that there will be any other associated character introduced to replace him. Therefore, we should read it only as a personal wish, even if, given how the MCU works and the relationship between Sony and Marvel, it is not far-fetched that it could end up happening.
Sony has made the drastic decision to completely restart its Spider-Man cinematic universe, a move that comes after a series of box office failures and a clear lack of narrative coherence. Movies like Morbius and Madame Web not only disappointed critics but also failed to convince audiences, leading to a notable decline in interest and profits associated with this universe. Sony has not been able to exploit the Spider-Man universe. Sony’s initial strategy to capitalize on characters linked to the Spider-Man mythology promised great potential; however, the execution […]
Movies like Morbius and Madame Web not only disappointed critics but also failed to convince the audience, leading to a notable decline in interest and profits associated with this universe.
Sony has not been able to exploit the Spider-Man universe
Sony’s initial strategy to capitalize on characters linked to Spider-Man’s mythology promised broad potential; however, the execution has been marked by disconnected proposals that never managed to establish a solid narrative thread.
despite the failures of most of its productions, the connection between Sony and Marvel Studios remains strong, which is essential for the development of web-slinger stories in the MCU.
In an attempt to revive public interest, the company plans to reduce the number of releases, generating anticipation and desire around its future projects. Tom Rothman, president of Sony Pictures, has confirmed that the new approach will seek to welcome fresh faces and innovative narratives, with figures like Miles Morales being considered for a leading role in this renewed universe.
This reinvention of the spider universe emphasizes the importance of a clear vision and authentic connections with the audience, elements that have been lacking in its recent projects. As Sony prepares for this first step towards a new era for Spider-Man, the expectations of fans and the industry are focused on how this fundamental restructuring will unfold.
Spider-Man is one of the most beloved characters in American comics. Outside of Batman and Superman, there is probably no other character more recognized, loved, and adored around the planet. And there are plenty of reasons for it. With a rich and deep story, with comics that continue to this day and numerous adaptations for different generations, Marvel has done an excellent job of making him our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. That doesn’t change the fact that neither Marvel nor Disney+ is the big beneficiary of his time in cinema. Not in modern times. Because if you want […]
Spider-Man is one of the most beloved characters in American comics. Outside of Batman and Superman, there is probably no other character more recognized, loved, and adored around the globe. And there are plenty of reasons for that. With a rich and deep story, with comics that continue to this day and numerous adaptations for different generations, Marvel has done an excellent job of making him our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
That doesn’t change the fact that neither Marvel nor Disney+ is the big beneficiary of its time in theaters. Not in modern times. Because if you want to watch Spider-Man streaming, we fear it has been more difficult than it should have been for a long time. At least until the man in red decided to get to work and bring us our favorite spider. Because Spider-Man is coming home for Christmas.
Spider-Man arrives with all his movies to streaming
The first movie to arrive in the HBO Max catalog on December 22 is Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. An animated film directed by Peter Ramsey, Rodney Rothman, and Bob Persichetti that surprised both fans and newcomers for several reasons. The first is that this Spider-Man was not Peter Parker, but the more recent Miles Morales. The other is that it took place in a comic book line that has been very popular in recent years: the Spider-Verse.
For the uninitiated, the Spider-Verse is a comic book series published since 2014, featuring Spider-Mans from different universes within the continuity of Marvel comics. This means that there are all kinds of Spider-Man, with all kinds of unique characteristics, something that had been explored previously in Spider-Man comics, but which began to be exploited more methodically starting with this comic book series.
With Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, they wanted to bring this to the big screen with a movie that not only introduced as many different Spider-Men as possible but also featured a striking and very dynamic visual style. And they succeeded. With a vibrant and very unique style, this movie cost 90 million dollars and managed to gross over 384 million dollars, becoming one of the most beloved and appreciated Spider-Man films to date.
So much so that even the critics surrendered at its feet. Winning the Award for Best Animated Feature at the Annie Awards, the Golden Globes, the Critics’ Choice Awards, the BAFTAs, and the Oscars, it was the big winner of 2018 among live-action and animated films. Demonstrating that there were still many things to do with Spider-Man.
Three for the MCU and a much-anticipated return
But Spider-Man doesn’t end here for Christmas. On the 24th, to have the best possible Christmas plans, the three most recent movies of the web-slinger will arrive on the streaming service Max: Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home, and Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Directed by John Watts, the three films need no introduction. Although they cost 200 million dollars each, they made ten times their budget at the box office and were a tremendous success for Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures, who made a joint investment in these films to allow Spider-Man to appear in the MCU. With Tom Holland as Peter Parker and Zendaya as MJ, they have already become three films that, for an entire generation, are synonymous with Spider-Man.
The next movie in the franchise, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, is scheduled to be released on July 31, 2026, and we only know one concrete detail: this time it will be directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the director of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. This also explains why this trilogy is now coming to streaming services.
On December 27, just in time to close the year, we will get the last of the Spider-Man movies we were missing, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. A sequel to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, directed this time by Joaquim dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson, and which expands the premise of the original by having Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy travel through the entire Multiverse to save the rest of Spider-Man from a threat that could jeopardize their existence.
Thanks to the success of the previous film, its budget swelled to 150 million dollars, but with the audience already familiar with the movie, they also responded better. Achieving over 690 million dollars at the box office, it was one of the big successes of 2023, being considered by critics as the best animated film of the year and even one of the best films of the year, overall.
With a sequel in development, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, scheduled to be released on June 25, 2027, we will still have to wait to see the continuation of the stories of Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy. But in the meantime, thanks to Max, we have a fantastic way to spend this Christmas.
The highly anticipated movie Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse will be released on June 18, 2027, a week earlier than expected. This third installment of the animated trilogy about Marvel’s iconic superhero, produced by Sony, promises to continue exploring the adventures of young Miles Morales.

The highly anticipated movie Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse will premiere on June 18, 2027, a week earlier than expected. This third installment of the animated trilogy about the iconic Marvel superhero, produced by Sony, promises to continue exploring the adventures of young Miles Morales. Originally, its release was scheduled for June 25, which makes this advance notable and exciting for fans of the saga.
A very, very brief preview
The new release coincides with Father’s Day and other festivities, which could increase attendance at cinemas. This scheduling strategy has the potential to attract a wider audience, as families are often looking for activities to enjoy during those holidays. Sony has been skilled in using significant dates to maximize box office, a move that has worked well in the past with its previous releases.
Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse takes place within the expansive and acclaimed Spider-Verse universe, which has redefined animated cinema and expanded the superhero narrative on the big screen. The first installment, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, received numerous accolades for its innovative visual style and fresh approach to storytelling, making this new film highly anticipated by critics and enthusiasts alike.
With the success of its predecessors, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse has high expectations to meet. With a robust production team and a narrative that promises more action and humor, fans are eager to see how the story of Miles Morales and his interactions within the multiverse will unfold. This update and its new release date are undoubtedly a reason for celebration for lovers of animated films and superheroes.
La franquicia de animación de Spider-Man sigue expandiéndose con el anuncio de nuevos proyectos que prometen ampliar el ya vasto universo del superhéroe, más allá de las historias de Peter Parker y Miles Morales.

The Spider-Man animation franchise continues to expand with the announcement of new projects that promise to broaden the already vast universe of the superhero, beyond the stories of Peter Parker and Miles Morales. This boom is largely due to the success of previous films, such as Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which won an Oscar for Best Animated Feature and grossed $375.5 million, and its sequel, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, which surpassed $690.8 million at the box office.
Daniel Kaluuya, no solo Spider-Punk, sino también co-escritor
In this context, Sony Pictures is developing a movie centered on Spider-Punk, a character who made his debut in Across the Spider-Verse. Hobart Brown, the real name of Spider-Punk, is an anarchic hero focused on destroying corrupt systems. Oscar-winning actor Daniel Kaluuya will reprise his voice role and co-write the script alongside Ajon Singh. Although the plot details have not yet been revealed, expectations are high, especially since Kaluuya will also voice the character in the upcoming installment of the saga, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.
In addition to Spider-Punk, the spider universe will expand with a live-action project centered on Spider-Noir, with a story set in 1930s New York. This character, voiced by Nicolas Cage, will be the protagonist of a series that will premiere on Prime Video in 2026.
On the other hand, the Spider-Man saga with Tom Holland will also move forward; Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the fourth installment of the series, will premiere on July 31, 2026. Currently, the film is in full production and is being directed by Destin Daniel Cretton. With these new projects, it seems that the Spider-Man universe will continue to weave new stories that go beyond what many knew.
Miles Morales, the popular African American web-slinger, has sparked great interest and a legion of followers since his introduction in the animated trilogy and in the successful video games from Insomniac Games. However, Marvel fans will have to wait a bit longer to see him in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as his arrival is restricted by the current agreements between Marvel Studios and Sony.

Miles Morales, the popular Afro-American wall-crawler, has sparked great interest and a legion of followers since his introduction in the animated trilogy and in the successful video games by Insomniac Games. However, Marvel fans will have to wait a little longer to see him in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as his arrival is restricted by the current agreements between Marvel Studios and Sony.
Don’t expect to ever see Miles Morales in the MCU
In a recent interview with Variety, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige confirmed that there is currently no possibility of including Miles Morales in the MCU. “It’s not possible. We’ve been told to stay away,” Feige commented, emphasizing the character’s demand among the public. Many fans were hoping for an appearance alongside Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, something that would have created a cinematic event similar to No Way Home.
Despite the frustration, there is hope on the horizon. There is an expectation that, after the release of Spider-Man: Beyond the Multiverse, Sony may be more flexible in its plans and offer long-term development for the character, allowing for the possibility of future collaborations with Marvel Studios. “It is a constantly evolving process, and after the release of the movie, it is possible that the door will open to a multi-year approach focused on the Puerto Rican Spider-Man,” commented a source close to the project.
Impatience is growing among comic and movie lovers, who see in Miles Morales a vital and current representation in the world of superheroes. With the promise of a bright future on the big screen, fans will need to be patient while Sony and Marvel develop their plans. Undoubtedly, the inclusion of Miles Morales in the MCU would be a significant step towards greater diversity and representation in the superhero universe.
Marvel Spider-Man 2 is shown at Comic-Con to give us all the clues about its story, hinting at a complex and tasty narrative
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is one of the most anticipated games of the year. And not without reason. Marvel’s Spider-Man is a fabulous game that, despite being an open world, knew how to perfectly combine the combat and stealth phases with the spectacular movement that is expected of a character like Spider-Man. Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, on the other hand, knew how to expand the formula, taking it to a more intimate terrain in the narrative while emphasizing more aggressive mechanics in combat, giving a little twist to the formula that made it even more enjoyable than possible, apart from the pleasure of moving through the streets of Manhattan.
Now Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, released at the Comic-Con that is being held in California these days, offers us its story trailer where we get a glimpse of what to expect from the game at the narrative level. While it is true that it does not seem that many things are clarified, fans of the first game, and especially fans of the character, will have noticed that there are many threads that hint that this is not exactly going to be a short game or without conflict.
As we already know, in the game we will embody both Peter Parker and Miles Morales, with a particularity. Now Peter Parker will have the symbiote suit, which will give him a new set of powers. Something that seems to be very imbricated in the plot, as we can see in the trailer, with the concern of MJ, and the fact that Harry Osborn and his father, Norman Osborn, seem to have something to do with the symbiote. Considering that the trailer has confirmed that Venom will appear, and the developers confirmed in the past that Eddie Brocks will not appear in the video game, but Eddie seems concerned about his son’s condition, it’s not too hard to predict who Venom may become in this new iteration of the Spider-Man story.
Similarly, it seems that Miles Morales will have his own problems to deal with. While he will have to deal with the threat posed by the symbiote and deal with his friend and mentor being under its influence, a villain from the first game reappears: Mr. Negative. Which, as those who played Marvel’s Spider-Man know, is guilty of killing Miles’ father and almost killing him and his mother as well. So hopefully there will be at least some sort of closure in that area.
But we can’t skip what happens at the beginning of the trailer itself either. Suffering an attack from what looks like Grizzly, a supervillain who is a relatively unknown wrestling wrestler who after losing his legs got an exoskeleton that gave him superhuman strength plus a questionable grizzly bear costume, a brief gameplay scene gives way to what looks like it will be the other major villain of the story. Kraven The Hunter. A truly classic villain, who is going to get his own movie soon, who while he has relatively little screen time in this story trailer compared to Venom and the symbiote in general, will hopefully be of notable importance, as he was the star of the game’s first trailer.
With all these threads, it’s easy to imagine where the story of this Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will be heading. Kraven is a hunter. Symbiote is, if not a prey, at least an object of desire; one that also, in the purest Faustian realm, can offer powers beyond what is imaginable to mere mortals. And both Spider-Man, like Harry Osborn, have an extremely troubled relationship with their father figures that make them always looking for a way to redeem themselves in their face, which makes them easy prey for a symbiote. Something that we have already seen many times in the comic, which always works, and that it is difficult that in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 they are not able to give it a new interesting twist, now, by also involving Harry Osborn and Miles Morales at the same time.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will arrive on October 20 of this year exclusively for PlayStation 5. It is expected to arrive on PC at some point in the future, as did the previous two games, but nothing has been confirmed. The next Insomniac Games game after Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is already in development and it is Marvel’s Wolverine; a game with no release date and which have not yet transcended more details, but in which we will embody Wolverine, of the X-Men. And which we hope to see, even as a wink, in this long-awaited Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
