For those annoyed with all these Spider-Man films, Sony is obligated to keep making them to avoid losing the film rights. They’re ruining the franchise one movie at a time for this crap. At this point they should just stop and avoid throwing more money away.
For all the people confused about this headline because of the runaway success of the last 5 spider-man films, they’re specifically talking about the spider-man-less spider-man universe films
How many will star Jared Leto?
JUST. FUCKING. STOP. YOU DON’T HAVE THE CHOPS.
hurray. another reboot. just what everyone was asking for.
I’m pretty sure it’s so Sony can:
- Keep as much spiderman out of Marvel’s hands
- Not have to pay much.
I remember Sony had a contract that they have the rights to Spiderman, as long as they keep making movies with it.
yeah that was why we had the crap ff4 movies to.
when they release this many, there’s too many for me to bother keeping up with, and I tune it out
If Sony wants a superhero universe, why not just adapt InFamous?
Make a remake of the Bollywood one. Keep Govinda as Superman. Use all the same effects, but boost the production value. Use the same choreography with floating head digi-doubles, animated by the Little Mermaid FX team.
If you can get the budget over a billion dollars, I’d see it once in theaters.
I was confused because I thought the recent Spider-Man movies did really well, but apparently they’re counting Morbius, Madame Web, and Kraven the Hunter as part of the “Spider-Man universe”. Turns out “Spider-Man” movies without Spider-Man in them don’t tend to do well.
AGAIN? In my lifetime now I have seen… god how many 4 separate spiderman reboots? This is literally the definition of insanity. Take. The hint. Sony, we are tired of superheroes. They’re fun, but god can you give it 2 years without doing a spiderman film?
They literally can’t. If they go too long between spider man movies the rights revert back to Marvel.
Now that I didn’t know, and explains a lot. That seems like either a very smart deal by marvel, and/or a very stupid deal by sony
Sony made the deal in the late 1990s when Marvel was basically bankrupt. They didn’t predict that Disney would eventually own the whole thing and turn it into a behemoth.
To be fair, the fact that it is now a behemoth is probably a factor in why Sony continues to throw money at it instead of letting the rights lapse. The more people Disney gets into Marvel, the more potential for better return on a Sony-made movie in the same universe. At least that’s probably what the execs think.
That doesn’t mean the best course of action is dumping a billion dollars into a movie that flops.
So our only hope is that they keep on making shit movies until they decide they’re only going to keep on losing money and hand it back to marvel
Or… They could just revive the Spectacular Spiderman series, right? Everyone loved that show.
I don’t know all the legal stuff, but my understanding is that use in shows is a separate license. Sony specifically owns the rights to live action feature length films.
Sony,
we areI am tired of superheroes.Ftfy
I’m not tired of superheroes. I’m tired of the same superheroes being rebooted again and again, and then shitty, poorly written, poorly acted money grabs.
This right here. Nothing wrong with a Spider-Man movie, I’m looking forward to the next entry in the animated Spider Verse movies. Solid story telling that’s not rehashing hours origin story for the millionth time
The Uncle Ben must be sacrificed!
Spider Man succeeds? Make more!
Spider Man flops? Also make more!
Maybe…stop. we dont need so many super hero movies? Or at least wait 10 years lol
“You say, ‘$1.9 billion, what’s wrong with [saying] 2?’ Well, it didn’t get into China, but in my mind [the film’s box office is] over 2 [billion] because I know what we would have done in China.”
These people need a fucking reality check, for a litany of reasons.
Spider-verse Trilogy: “Am I a joke to you?”
Yeah, reeeally hoping this doesn’t fuck over the third animated Spiderverse film, myself. The first two have been a glorious breath of fresh air as far as animation styles go IMO.
GORGEOUS animation!
