Sony’s Spider-Man Universe has had a rocky start this year, with the disappointing debut of ‘Madame Web.’ However, there’s still hope for redemption with two promising releases on the horizon: ‘Kraven the Hunter’ and the concluding chapter of the ‘Venom’ franchise.
That’s right, ‘Venom: The Last Dance’ marks the final installment in the Ssu’s ‘Venom’ series. While there’s speculation about the character’s potential inclusion in the MCU, these are just rumors for now.
New rumors have emerged, shedding light on a significant plot development in ‘Venom: The Last Dance’ and its anticipated cameo appearances. According to 3C Films, in this installment, Venom discovers a chilling prophecy: Spider-Man is fated to end his life. To prevent this, Venom urges Eddie to pursue Peter Parker across multiple dimensions. However, complications arise when Eddie encounters a 10-year-old Peter.

Sony’s Spider-Man Universe is not off to a good start this year, as the cinematic universe opened 2024 with a majestic flop ‘Madame Web.’ Luckily there are ample opportunities to turn this around since there are two notable releases awaiting us this year, ‘Kraven the Hunter,’ and the final installment of the ‘Venom’ franchise.
Yes, you’ve read that correctly, ‘Venom: The Last Dance’ is the final ‘Venom’ movie in the Ssu, with some speculations pointing in the direction that the character could be included in the MCU going forward, but as I’ve said those are just rumors.
A different set of rumors however resurfaced that reveal pretty much a massive plot point for ‘Venom: The Last Dance’ and who is set to appear in it. According to the 3C Films in ‘Venom: The Last Dance’ Venom learns that Spider-Man is destined to kill him, so Venom persuades Eddie...

For some fans, the arc of X-Men as mutant outsiders fighting for their right to fit in, be represented, or at best, to co-exist beside humans, feels more real than the world they live in. As such, Professor Xavierʼs never-ending struggle to mediate, guide, lead, train, shelter, and sometimes pioneer the war against injustice and suffering also resonates among fans who see themselves as outsiders.

In Charles Xavier, the Billy Jean singer saw himself while the rest of the world associated themselves with the remainder of the X-Men.
Michael Jackson Dreamt of Playing Charles Xavier in X-Men
It is inherently foolish to disregard the iconography of Michael Jackson in modern pop culture and music.

Tom Holland has given some of the best performances of his lifetime in star-studded projects like those from Marvel including the Avengers and the Spider-Man film series, and has even garnered a massive fan following. However, his latest project isn’t gaining the best of reviews from anyone, including not only critics but a considerable majority of his fandom as well.

The project that has been getting all this hate is his latest play Romeo and Juliet with Francesca Amewudah-Rivers, and one of the biggest reasons behind this backlash is only understandable: the glumness and lack of energy in the drama. However, even through such tough times, Holland has his biggest supporter and the love of his life still right by his side: Zendaya.

Sony Pictures initially planned spin-off films featuring Spider-Man villains after “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” (2014) but abandoned the idea due to its reception. In February 2015, Sony collaborated with Marvel Studios to integrate Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
This partnership led to the release of “Spider-Man: Homecoming” (2017), “Spider-Man: Far From Home” (2019), and “Spider-Man: No Way Home” (2021). Meanwhile, Sony independently developed “Venom” (2018) and its sequel “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” (2021), along with “Morbius” (2022), which featured connections to the MCU through mid-credits scenes.
When ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ was released and Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield were a part of it, the fans of the MCU took it as a good sign that the actors (and the characters) might return to a more permanent role.
Now according to the latest rumors, this likely won’t be the case. Sony is considering bringing back both actors but not to the MCU. Apparently, Sony...

Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s entry into the MCU was one of those iconic moments in superhero cinema, that Sony badly wants to recreate. If it were up to them, the Tom Rothman-led studio would have reunited the three heroes once again in the hopes of making another $2 billion phenomenon. Marvel’s constant objection to this plan may have forced Sony to consider another option for Maguire and Garfield.

Kraven the Hunter has been delayed several times already, but the release was pushed back yet again last month. The film is now set to hit theaters on December 13th. While speaking with Collider, Kraven the Hunter producer Matt Tolmach explained the reason behind the delay, saying it’s a sign of how highly Sony Pictures thinks of the film.
“Kraven moved to Christmas because we’re excited about it and Christmas is the best release period there is, when you get people with time to go back to the movies over and over again,” Tolmach said. “That was a real reflection of how the studio felt about the movie. We’re really excited. But that’s a great move that reflects just the feeling about the movie.“

The MCU flicks may not impress moviegoers that much anymore, but they still have a chance to get some hype from online viewers, however bad they might initially be.
Marvel’s recent big failure, Madame Web, surely didn’t have its best time during the theatrical run back in February, but it seems to be in a much better position now that the movie made its way to Netflix a couple of weeks ago.
As expected, Madame Web’s poor reviews and underperformance in the box office didn’t stop it from getting into the streaming’s top 10 chart quite soon after the digital release.
According to the latest data provided by FlixPatrol, Madame Web is holding a second place at Netflix’s top, competing only with the Blake Lively starrer comedy thriller A Simple Favour that to-date is the streaming’s most-watched movie.

While they expected a Spider-Man cameo in the film, they never expected to get an answer to the biggest cliffhanger of the ’90s.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson is not only stealing hearts, but he seems to be stealing quite a few perfect roles from major franchises too. Besides having his recent film The Fall Guy released in the theatres (he stars as Tom Ryder in it), he has another Marvel movie lined up, which, unfortunately, recently faced yet another postponed release date: Kraven the Hunter.

Although it is not new for the franchise to shift the release dates further down the road, this news still has fans springing up with conspiracy theories. That being said, one theory states that this further delay is presumably because of Taylor-Johnson’s casting as the new James Bond. And, as much as it would sound appealing to his fans, this theory might as well piss off Henry Cavill fans.

Raimi Productions, the genre-focused company run by Sam Raimi and Zainab Azizi, has signed a first-look film and television deal with Ara Keshishian and Petr Jákl’s development and financing company Zq Entertainment.
The deal extends the long-standing relationship between the two companies, which most recently collaborated on the upcoming thriller “Locked,” directed by David Yaroveksy and starring Bill Skarsgård and Anthony Hopkins, and the horror-thriller “Don’t Move,” which was acquired by Netflix earlier this month.
“Don’t Move” follows a seasoned serial killer (Finn Witrock) who injects a grieving woman (Kelsey Asbille) with a paralytic agent while the two of them are isolated deep in the forest. As the agent gradually takes over her body, she must run, hide and fight for her life before her entire nervous system shuts down.

While we never got to see Peter losing Uncle Ben in the MCU, which makes sense as it has been done to death in other iterations, No Way Home did leave fans teary-eyed with Aunt May’s demise. Although heartbreaking for sure, this could be regarded as this version of Peter’s canon event, as her death and Nwh‘s ending set the path for a more traditional Spider-Man story moving forward.
However, per new reports, it seems this wasn’t the last of Marisa Tomei’s Aunt May in the MCU, as Spider-Man 4 is reportedly planning to bring her back in some form.

Ever since Norman Osborn's sins were supernaturally cleansed, he's been a force for good in the Marvel Universe, both as the ethical C.E.O. of Oscorp and as the heroic Gold Goblin.
To ensure Norman wouldn't fall into old psychotic habits, Peter agreed to work for him at Oscorp and the two have since bonded. However, thanks to Kraven the Hunter, the former Green Goblin's sins recently returned and inhabited Spider-Man for a time.
That turned him into a very sinister Spider-Man, leaving Norman and Kraven to use a sci-mystical spear to remove the sins from Peter. Or did they? Norman has been acting strange lately. But, then again, so has Peter.
In today's Amazing Spider-Man #50, The Living Brain begins malfunctioning and declares, "Peter Parker Is Not Spider-Man." It also prints out a series of random words which, when read in Norman's office, reveal his cache of Green Goblin weaponry.

Sony’s Spider-Man Universe began with grand intentions, aiming to assemble the crucial supporting characters from the Spider-Verse. However, they overlooked a crucial aspect: Spider-Man himself.
With several films already released, the Ssu has faced its share of failures, with the latest disappointment being ‘Madame Web.’ The female-led superhero film was heavily criticized by critics and failed to recoup its investment. Despite this setback, recent reports indicate that Sony is forging ahead with the Ssu, with several new projects currently in development.
The year 2023 got off to a rocky start, but there’s still hope for the studio’s redemption with the upcoming releases of ‘Kraven the Hunter’ and ‘Venom: The Last Dance.’ ‘Kraven the Hunter’ was recently pushed back to December 13, after initially being slated for release on January 13, 2023, then rescheduled for October 6, 2023, and later August 30, 2024.
However, the latest delay has nothing to do with the film’s development or the SAG-AFTRA strike.

The year 2023 got off to a rocky start, but there’s still hope for the studio’s redemption with the upcoming releases of ‘Kraven the Hunter’ and ‘Venom: The Last Dance.’ ‘Kraven the Hunter’ was recently pushed back to December 13, after initially being slated for release on January 13, 2023, then rescheduled for October 6, 2023, and later August 30, 2024.
However, the latest delay has nothing to do with the film’s development or the SAG-AFTRA strike.

Sony’s Spider-Man Universe started with the best intentions, it was supposed to gather the most important supporting characters from the Spiderverse, but they forgot one important thing, Spider-Man himself.
Ssu has several movies under its belt at this point, and most of them failed, the most recent failure being ‘Madame Web.’ Female-led superhero flick was panned by critics and did not come close to earning what was invested in it, but according to recent reports Sony moves on with Ssu, and several new projects are in development.
2024 started badly, but there’s still time to redeem the studio as ‘Kraven the Hunter‘ and ‘Venom: The Last Dance’ are scheduled to arrive this year. Recently, ‘Kraven the Hunter’ was moved all the way to December 13.

Spider-Man projects have always been a soft spot for superhero fans. Be it films, animated masterpieces, or videogames; projects featuring any version of the websligger are bound to reach impressive numbers. This has been the case for many years, dating back to when Tobey Maguire’s film was first released in 2002.

However, Marvel fans collectively agree that there are three main live-action Spider-Men; Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland. All have had iconic runs, shared the screen together, and caused conflicts among fans.
Many have argued about who did their job as the character best, and a recent number may clear one contender completely off the list.

As part of Sony's celebration of Columbia Pictures' 100th anniversary, every live-action Spider-Man movie is swinging back into theaters.
Dropping every Monday as part of the studio's "Spider-Mondays," we've seen over the past 5 weeks that there's a real appetite among moviegoers to see the wall-crawler back on the big screen.
Unfortunately, Spider-Man: Homecoming webbed up the lowest box office haul to date with a disappointing $285,000 opening day. With 466 theaters in the U.S. screening the movie, that works out to a far from amazing $612 per theater average.
Some will likely jump on this news to tear into the MCU, forgetting that Marvel Studios actually saved Spidey back in 2017 (following his memorable debut the year prior in Captain America: Civil War).
Understandably, there's less interest in seeing Tom Holland's Spider-Man back on the big screen because he's really not been gone that long. Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy and...

Marvel Studios brought the famous friendly neighborhood web-slinger over to the MCU back in Captain America: Civil War in 2016. Ever since then, it has been one magnificent ride with some shocking yet exhilarating multi-versal events. While Tom Holland aced the elements required to play Peter Parker and Spider-Man, Marvel Studios did equally well when it came to storyline, narrative, and action sequences.

If Chris Evans hated one thing about his role as Captain America, it was the time he spent making public appearances for the promotions. Evans shared that his anxiety made him a less-than-ideal candidate for such appearances. He mostly avoided appearing in shows where he had to perform in front of an audience, which meant he was one of the few MCU lead stars not to host an SNL episode.

The legacy of Marvel is embedded in the arc of Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans as Iron Man and Captain America respectively and no one cares less about their impact than Christian Bale. The actor who once portrayed an iconic DC character himself – came out the other end branded as a legend who never knew where to start when it came to Marvel.

As an official entrant into the Marvel universe, it is time to throw Bale under the microscope and study the indifference with which he handled an era of Cbm icons that had such a hold over the entire world for 11 straight years.

When we talk about dedication to a particular role, method acting often springs to the forefront as an emblem of an actor’s commitment to embodying a character, and who better to exemplify this than Andrew Garfield?

Venom 2 teasing Spider-Man in the end, the symbiote in No Way Home could be the next story the MCU might go with. A recent report claims that a symbiote movie of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man is in the works, which essentially means fans will get to see Spidey wearing the Venom suit.

This is not something new, Venom has been a long-time Spider-Man rival, and Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man 3 has been extensively featured. Also, Spider-Man wore the venom suit, albeit fighting it in the end. But Sony’s new Venom with Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock has been presented in a different light, and it would be interesting to see how the movie creatives fit the two franchises into one narrative with Spider-Man 4.

Spider-Man: No Way Home was Sony Pictures' biggest movie ever, grossing just shy of $2 billion at the worldwide box office. However, the studio has since delivered two critical and commercial flops with Morbius and Madame Web.
Talking to Deadline about Sony's upcoming slate of projects, Sony Motion Pictures Group Chairman Tom Rothman singled out Spider-Man 4, Venom: The Last Dance, and the undated Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse as three of their most must-see releases.
"I think a healthy slate going forward is not going to be one side of the divide or the other," he started. "It’s going to have a balance of big IP solid sequels. Let me tell you when the last of the Spider-Verse movies comes with Phil Lord and Chris Miller, it’s going to be a significant event, as will the next Tom Holland Spider-Man film."

Spider-Man: Far From Home introduced audiences to Mysterio, one of Spider-Man’s most important and dastardly villains. Jake Gyllenhaal’s portrayal of the character had audiences believing that the character was genuinely heroic, even those who thought they knew how the character was in the comics. However, the film also introduced another important character into the MCU: Spider-Man’s very first antagonist from way back in The Amazing Spider-Man #1.

Earlier this week, we learned of plans for Noir, a new Spider-Man TV series coming to Amazon's Prime Video. While it's still early days, the project will see Nicolas Cage suit up after first playing the title character in 2018's animated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
There was no mention of Silk: Spider Society during Amazon's Upfronts earlier this week and, yesterday evening, we learned that the streamer has scrapped plans for the series.
The Hollywood Reporter has since chimed in, confirming that Phil Lord and Chris Miller remain attached to Sony's small screen Spider-Verse. The filmmakers "were handed control of the studio’s Marvel slate" as part of a deal first made with the studio in 2019.
"Plans for the interconnected Marvel slate of Sony shows remains in place, sources say, though only Noir will be part of that now unless another buyer for Silk emerges," the trade adds.
