Following a summer of major hits forSonyand its superhero franchise, the company seeks to continue its high by adding two futureMarvelprojects to its roster. Though there are no details about the films, there is speculation these could dictate the future ofSpider-Manand the company.
Sony Pictures Entertainment first acquired the rights toSpider-Manin 1999, and they created two film series with the character, theSpider-Mantrilogy starring Tobey Maguire and twoThe Amazing Spider-Manfilms featuring Andrew Garfield. In 2015, Sony, Marvel Studios, and Disney agreed to share the film rights and introduced Tom Holland’s Spidey into the MCU. In 2019, a hiccup in the companies almost saw the character exiting the cinematic universe. But due to fans' outcry, the studios reached a settlement, which resulted in the making ofSpider-Man: No Way Homeandthe uniting of the three live-action Spider-Man actors. Since then, Sony has also releasedInto The Spider-VerseandAcross The Spider-Verse, which both have seen critical and box-office success.

Amid the success of theSpider-Versesequel released earlier this month, Sony has added two new mysterious projects to their slots. The first one, labeled “untitled Sony/Marvel,” is set to release on May 28, 2025, and the second one, “untitled Sony/Marvel live-action,” is scheduled for June 19, 2025. The lack of specification in the former could indicate that an animated film is on the way, perhaps even more Spider-Verse stories.
No further details have been revealed about each project, but what box-office competition they will face can already be seen. So far, the November 2024 film has no rivals, except forGladiator 2, which will be released a few weeks later. Meanwhile, the June 2025 project will faceDisney’s live-action adaptation ofMoanaand an untitled Blumhouse film.
Multiple Sony/Marvel films already have release dates, includingKraven The Hunter(May 28, 2025), Bad Bunny’sEl Muerto(Jul 23, 2025), andSpider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse(June 01, 2025). Nevertheless, there are a few possibilities of what these projects could be alluding to.Venom 3still has no release date, though there was confirmation that it would start filming soon. There’s alsoTom Holland’sSpider-Man 4, for which Kevin Feige said writers have a story (though it is now on hold in solidarity with the WGA strike). There’s also speculation of a live-action Miles Morales film and a Gwen Stacy animated series. When asked about futureSpider-Manprojects, producer Amy Pascal said there are “a lot of movies to make about Miles and a lot of movies to make about Peter.”
