Sony CEO Tom Rothman Says Sony Spider-Man Universe Reboot Is On The Way

When Kraven the Hunter premiered in theatres back in December 2024, many realized that the Sony Spider-Man Universe was dead in the water. Despite multiple successes (in the form of the Venom trilogy), the universe failed to keep afloat and never really launched into huge success. Now, in an interview with Puck’s Matt Belloni on his The Town podcast, Tom Rothman spoke about the state of the Marvel productions at Sony Pictures Entertainment. Read about the Sony Spider-Man Universe reboot.

The Sony CEO stated that they will be employing new people for a reboot of their slate. He also went on to comment that their deal with Marvel Entertainment, is a “big upside” for the studio and one of their great deals made at Sony.

The Sony Spider-Man Universe in its previous form consisted of Venom, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Morbius, Madame Web, Venom: The Last Dance, and Kraven the Hunter. The movies used star power as the key draw for the films, with Tom Hardy, Woody Harrelson, Jared Leto, Dakota Johnson, Sydney Sweeney, Aaron Taylor Johnson, and Russell Crowe among the main cast.

Other films that were in development included an El Muerto film starring Bad Bunny, and a Hypno Hustler film featuring Donald Glover. Sony also develops the Tom Holland Spider-Man films, Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse and its sequels as well as upcoming TV spin-off Spider-Noir.

It will be interesting to see how fans react to the news given the poor reception to the Sony Spider-Man Universe, with the guarantee of new projects.

The Chief Executive Officer also commented on how Spider-Man: No Way Home, a co-production with Marvel Studios, wasn’t permitted to be released in China due to its inclusion of the Statue of Liberty in the film’s third act.
