Sony, which has released the financially successful Venom and highly critically successful Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, is teasing it has the next “seven or eight years” of its Marvel properties laid out, for both movies and TV.
In an interview with Variety, Sony Pictures Entertainment chairman Tony Vinciquerra and Sony Pictures Television chairman Mike Hopkins discussed Sony’s plans for its Spider-Man related properties in the future, and it appears Sony has a pretty clear vision of where they’re going.
“We have the next seven or eight years laid out as to what we’re going to do with that asset, and that will not only be on the film side — it’ll be on the TV side,” said Vinciquerra. “Our television group will have its own set of characters from within that universe that we will seek to develop.”
Avengers: Endgame\r\n
\r\n
\r\nAs far as the MCU Spider-Man goes, Avengers: Endgame is the next time we\u0027ll see that version of the character. That\u0027s despite the fact that Tom Holland\u0027s Peter Parker was among the numerous heroes who died at the end of Avengers: Infinity War. We\u0027re expecting most, if not necessarily all of these characters to be resurrected in Avengers 4, but actual plot details remain scarce right now.

According to Hopkins, the team on the television side is “pretty far down the road in terms of working through which characters we think could be their own star of a series.”
“We’re developing a lot of Marvel-related content, and I think we’ll be out in the market very soon with something really, really big and transformational for us, because we’ve not done any shows with Marvel before, with Marvel IP,” said Hopkins. “So that’s a big piece of development that we’re onto… I think we aspire to have several shows in a universe that we create that can pollinate between each other, and to [be] working with a partner to make that happen.”
While it’s currently unclear if Sony intends to partner with a streaming service like Netflix or Hulu to facilitate its Marvel shows, Hopkins reportedly didn’t deny the Disney+ streaming service is also a potential name in the mix.
Sony has several Spider-Man spinoff movies in development, including Jared Leto’s Morbius, which recently released its first on-set photo, as well as Black Cat, Silver Sable, Kraven the Hunter, and Silk. There are two Marvel-Sony movies set for 2020 releases, one of which is Morbius, and the is likely a sequel to Venom.
On top of this, the critically acclaimed animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is reportedly getting a sequel, and an all-female spinoff. On top of this, Sony is reportedly planning one or more television shows based off characters from Into the Spider-Verse.
