Sony Has ‘Seven or Eight’ Years Of Film And TV Plans For The Spider-Man Franchise


Boasting revolutionary computer-animated art and a solid story, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse swung into cinemas a sure-fire winner. Now, after the film's success, it looks like everyone's favorite web-slinger is heading to the small screen.

Speaking in an interview with Variety, Sony Pictures Entertainment chairman Tony Viniciquera opened up about the studio's planned film and television projects for the Spider-Man franchise. According to the Sony big wig, the studio has a lot prepared for Spider-Man fans.

"We have the next seven or eight years laid out as to what we're going to do with that asset, and that will not only be on the film side -- it'll be on the TV side," Viniciquerra said. "Our television group will have its own set of characters from within that universe that we will seek to develop."

Sony has a lot to Spider-Man characters to choose from for its upcoming television projects, so fans won't have to worry about feeling any sort of Spider-Man exhaustion.

"[The team is] pretty far down the road in terms of working through which characters we think could be the star of their own series," Hulu chief Mike Hopkins, who was also present during the interview, added.

It seems like Sony is pretty confident that all these will work out, especially in the face of the success of its Spider-Man spinoff movie Venom, and of course, the success of Into the Spider-Verse.

Sony's upcoming series will add to the piling number of Spider-Man projects, including the upcoming Morbius movie.
