Sony has been moving fast since the split of their merger with Marvel and Disney. They have announced a number of projects that they are now moving into development (meaning writing the scripts and looking at actors, not actually filming.) Three of these projects that stood out the most were quite interesting.
The first is that Sony is being reported to be working on a Madame Web movie. She was first introduced in Amazing Spiderman #120 and is capable of telepathy and prescience. She is often depicted as an older woman, but not always. She is hooked up to a life support system which resembles a spider web, and with her last name being what it is, became Madame Web. How she is to fit into their Spider-Man Universe remains to be seen, but she may be used to help connect the other Spider-Men from other universes, similar to Into the Spider-Verse. This is just in the beginning stages, so as I learn more I will let you know.
The second bit of new is that Sony is reportedly wanting to make a Mysterio solo film with Jake Gyllenhaal. Gyllenhaal is already on board, so the only thing that Sony needs to do is write a story around how Quentin Beck survived. It wouldn't be too hard, he is the master of illusions, so there are any number of scenarios that they could use.
The final bit of news that is being rumored that Sony is wanting to make a Hobgoblin movie. Since Venom did so well last year with his origin movie, they want to keep moving in the same direction and introduce the Hobgoblin, although who will actually be the Hobgoblin in this universe remains to be seen. There have been a number of people that have donned the moniker, such as Roderick Kingsley, Arnold Donovan, Ned Leeds...the list keeps going. Once I hear more on this, I will let you all know.
Those are the three new bits of news pertaining to the Sony Spider-Verse. we already know that they are making a Venom 2 and a Carnage movie that will feature Woody Harrelson, so Sony has a lot on their plate. The question is, is it too much? Are they moving in the same direction that they were when they were in charge of The Amazing Spider movies and trying to do too much too fast? We'll just have to wait and see. I am curious to know what you all think, though. Leave your comments in the section below, or you can leave them on my Facebook page.
