Sony's Spider-Man Movie-verse Will Feature Carnage, and May Include Kraven and Mysterio Films
The still atrociously named Sonys Marvel Universe is getting bigger. Sony has lifted the lid off the future of its Spider-Man movies after Homecoming, and it seems like Peter Parker is going to have a lot on his plate, with not just future MCU adventures, but some of his most iconic foes coming to the silver screen.
A far reaching new story from The Hollywood Reporter about Sony Pictures CEO Tom Rothmans plans for moving forward in the studios deal with Marvel to make (and still own the rights to) new films with the most popular superhero on the planet paints a pretty rosy picture for the post-Homecoming world.
Firstly, after Homecoming producer and former Sony Pictures head Amy Pascals comments over the weekend, theres confirmation that Sony is planning on having Tom Hollands Peter Parker appear in its spinoff movies like Silver and Black or Venom, as well as having him continue to appear in Marvel team movies like Infinity War and beyond. Homecomings sequel will also share the love: another MCU Avenger (not Robert Downey Jr.s Iron Man) will make an appearance alongside Peter. Maybe Steve Rogers, given we heard rumors he couldve been in Homecoming at one point beyond his minor cameo?
But despite confirmation that we can expect some Spider-Man in these movies, Sonys spinoffs will still seemingly continue to focus on the characters roster of villains. THRs story confirms that Carnagethe much more unstable and violent symbiote-hosted villainwill be a part of Tom Hardys Venom film. Meanwhile, more standalone projects are currently in the works beyond the currently announced Silver and Black and Venom: including two which focus on longstanding Spidey villains and regular Sinister Six members Kraven the Hunter and Mysterio.
