I’ve thought about Sony trying to build a universe around Spider-Man. I think it will almost necessitate turning villains into heroes (or at least anti-heroes) if they want to keep it going. Which I’m willing to bet Sony intends to keep the license for as long as they can.
Is it possible for them to create their own hero? They would have to anchor a hero very well, considering they don’t have comics to back them, but could it legally be done? Might end up like ROM in the end if the rights ever go back to Disney-Marvel and be an odd orphan. Still they are going to have to get creative to keep the show going.
On a side thought, what all these studios are creating with these universes is in a way like the old serials other than being the prime feature.
I am playing catch-up on old episodes and just finished this one. You had lots of news and speculations about future movies and the Spider-Man cinematic universe. With Spider-Man back to Marvel is ALL of that dead now?
