After the spectacular success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it was only natural that other Studios would try creating a shared universe too. And Sony Pictures Entertainment, which owns the rights to Spider-Man and related characters, lept at the first opportunity. But unlike what most Studios would do, Sony started their universe with villains, rather than the heroes. They based their universe on 2018’s Venom’s success, and needless to say, it is a strong base and now they are planning other Sony Spider-Man movies too.

As of now, they have already created 3 projects(Venom, Venom 2, and Morbius) in this universe and many more are on their way. But that’s not all. Sony knows the potential that the character of Spider-Man and characters related to him holds, and they are cashing t every chance they get. Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse kickstarted another franchise for the series and Sony is not ready to leave it at that. They have a lot of stuff planned and here’s your guide to all the upcoming SSU movies.

 

1. KRAVEN THE HUNTER

RELEASE DATE: January 13, 2023

Sony has been doing a great job by keeping the movie under wraps so we don’t much about its plot. But what we can tell from the cast is that it will follow the source material. Kraven, or Sergei Kravinoff, will take birth in a Russian aristocratic family and growing up as a natural hunter, with his half-brother Dmitri Smerdyakov who will later turn into another Spider-Man villain, Chameleon. And it will be him who asks Kraven to hunt Spider-Man. And the witch Calypso(Ariana DeBose) will give Kraven a potion that will grant him the powers of a wild jungle cat. So far, there is no evidence of Spider-Man being in the movie and this might continue for a while.

CAST: Aaron Taylor-Johnson(Kraven), Russel Crowe, Ariana DeBose(Calypso), Christopher Abbott(the Foreigner), Alessandro Nivola, Fred Hechinger & Levi Miller.

 

2. MADAME WEB

RELEASE DATE: July 7, 2023

Another Spider-Man spin-off is a movie about the titular character of the infamous Madame Web. Madame Web is the alter-ego of Cassandra Webb, an elderly woman who has been a mentor to a series of Spider-Men and Spider-Women. Her ability to predict the futures of Spider-Men and -Women helps her train her students in the best possible way. In most of her appearances, she is paralyzed and lives with the help of a specially-designed web-like life support machine. Sources have revealed that 50 Shades of Grey- actress Dakota Johnson has been cast to play the titular character.

CAST: Dakota Johnson(Madame Web), Sydney Sweeney

 

3. EL MUERTO

RELEASE DATE: January 12, 2024

Recently announced at the 2022’s CinemaCon, all we know about this movie is that it will follow another Spider-Man villain, El Muerto. Much like Black Panther, El Muerto is from a long line of El Muertos. But unlike the heart-shaped herb, the source of their power is a traditional mask. This film will probably be about Juan Carlos Sanchez rising to power as the next in line to be El Muerto. He will don the mask, that will grant him superhuman strength and endurance. corrupted by his power, he might face Spider-Man in Sony Spider-Man movies. But this is pure speculation as Sony has not revealed anything about the movie.

CAST: Famous Rapper Bad Bunny(El Muerto)

 

4. VENOM 3

RELEASE DATE: N. A.

Another movie that Sony announced at this year’s CinemaCon is Venom 3. Sony plans to finish their Venom trilogy, after 2 successful movies. Fans speculate that this movie will mark the first time Venom will directly interact with Spider-Man. If this is true, it will be a fitting end to a good trilogy. As for Venom, he might join the Sinister Six next and appear in their movies only.

CAST: Tom Hardy(Eddie Brock), Michelle Williams, Stephen Graham(Patrick Mulligan/ Toxin) & Reid Scott(Dan)

 

5. NIGHTWATCH
