Morbius and Madame Web, on the other hand, had a rough time, and that only fed the sense that inconsistent quality control and a Spider-Man universe built without Spider-Man in it were always going to be hard sells. If you keep an eye on Sony\u2019s Marvel strategy, that\u2019s the real takeaway here: Sony seems to view the Tom Holland Spider-Man movies as the thing that actually drives this side of the business, and it reportedly wants Holland to stick around.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s also Brand New Day, a title that\u2019s been tied to the next Spider-Man movie. The name gets a little messy, though, because it also points back to the 2008 comic era that came after One More Day, when Peter Parker was pushed back toward a more familiar status quo. So the movie rumor and the comic history are bleeding together a bit. As for Spider-Woman and El Muerto, <strong>don\u2019t count on either<\/strong> one moving forward. Both spinoffs are reportedly shelved while Sony turns its Marvel attention back to the next mainline Spider-Man film.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sony Pictures chairman Tom Rothman has now said out loud what had been pretty easy to guess: Sony\u2019s Spider-Man Universe is, for all practical purposes, done.
