Sony CEO says no new Spider-Man spin-off films in development

Sony Pictures Entertainment chief Tom Rothman told Variety that the studio has no Spider‑Man‑related movies in active development. He said recent releases – Morbius, Madame Web and Kraven the Hunter – failed to satisfy audiences, and the company sees no worthwhile projects for its Marvel characters at this time. Rothman added that Sony does not view its output as a "Sony‑Marvel Universe" and will only consider new films if they prove viable. While a strong box‑office showing for Spider‑Man: Brand New Day could inspire future plans, the current slate contains no spin‑off titles.

The comments signal a pause in Sony's effort to build a separate Spider‑Man franchise beyond the MCU, leaving the future of characters such as Venom uncertain.
