Sony's Struggles with the Spider-Man Universe: What Lies Ahead

Sony Spider-Man Universe Reportedly Done as Kraven the Hunter Targets Opening Worse Than Madame Web - IGN 🔗

Sony is reportedly giving up on its Spider-Man universe, which includes universally panned films such as Venom and Morbius, as Kraven the Hunter is projected for a worse opening weekend than the disastrous Madame Web.

Sony appears to be stepping back from its Spider-Man universe after a series of poorly received films, including Venom and Morbius. The upcoming film, Kraven the Hunter, is projected to have an even worse opening weekend than Madame Web, which previously set the record for the lowest opening in the franchise. Despite the disappointing performance of these films, Sony has confirmed that a new Spider-Man film will start production in 2025, with a release date set for 2026. Overall, the Spider-Man universe has struggled to achieve critical success, with most films receiving low ratings.

Kraven the Hunter is set for release on December 13 and is expected to earn $13 to $15 million in its opening weekend.
Sony's Spider-Man universe includes six films, with only one (Venom: Let There Be Carnage) rated above a 5/10 by IGN.
The next Spider-Man film, starring Tom Holland, will be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and is scheduled for July 24, 2026.

What is the expected box office performance for Kraven the Hunter?

Kraven the Hunter is projected to earn between $13 to $15 million in its opening weekend, which would be lower than Madame Web's $17.6 million debut.

How many films are in Sony's Spider-Man universe?

Sony's Spider-Man universe officially includes six films: Venom, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Morbius, Madame Web, Venom: The Last Dance, and Kraven the Hunter.

When is the next Spider-Man film scheduled to be released?

The next Spider-Man film, featuring Tom Holland, is set to begin filming in 2025 and is scheduled for release on July 24, 2026.
