Marvel‑Sony Spider‑Man franchise plans

Entities: Amy Pascal · Sony Pictures Entertainment · Tom Hardy · Sony Pictures Animation · Tom Holland

Overview

Since the July 29 2026 announcements, Sony Pictures Animation confirmed an animated Venom film directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein, with Tom Hardy attached as producer. Producer Amy Pascal disclosed the project on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, though no release window was provided. In the same period, Tom Holland outlined Marvel’s long‑term succession plan for the Spider‑Man mantle, a strategy begun after *Spider‑Man: No Way Home* and slated to be reflected in the upcoming *Spider‑Man: Brand New Day* release. Kevin Feige reiterated his hope for a future Spider‑Man/Venom crossover, keeping the possibility open while details remain undefined. These developments build on earlier announcements that Miles Morales will transition to live‑action under producer Amy Pascal, and that the animated Spider‑Verse trilogy will conclude with *Spider‑Man: Beyond the Spider‑Verse* in June 2027.
