Sony’s attempt at building an independent Marvel cinematic universe has stumbled, with several films failing to impress audiences and critics alike. Insiders claim that outside of Spider-Man, the studio’s Marvel movies are not up to par, citing “poorly executed” films as the main issue. The lack of quality control is seen as a major problem, leading to flops like Morbius, Madame Web, and now possibly Kraven: The Hunter.
According to sources, Sony has moved on from its plans for B-tier Spider-Man villains and will focus on upcoming projects featuring Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, the next animated Spider-Verse film, and the Spider-Noir television series with Nic Cage. These films are expected to build upon the success of Spider-Man, rather than relying on lesser-known characters.
Industry experts point to poor quality control as the root cause of the studio’s failures. The Wrap article suggests that Sony needs to revamp its approach to developing new franchises and IP to avoid further disappointments. With several high-profile projects scrapped or struggling at the box office, it seems that Sony’s Marvel universe may be on the verge of collapse.
