    AGAIN? In my lifetime now I have seen… god how many 4 separate spiderman reboots? This is literally the definition of insanity. Take. The hint. Sony, we are tired of superheroes. They’re fun, but god can you give it 2 years without doing a spiderman film?

      Sony, we are I am tired of superheroes.

      Ftfy

      I’m not tired of superheroes. I’m tired of the same superheroes being rebooted again and again, and then shitty, poorly written, poorly acted money grabs.

        This right here. Nothing wrong with a Spider-Man movie, I’m looking forward to the next entry in the animated Spider Verse movies. Solid story telling that’s not rehashing hours origin story for the millionth time

    “You say, ‘$1.9 billion, what’s wrong with [saying] 2?’ Well, it didn’t get into China, but in my mind [the film’s box office is] over 2 [billion] because I know what we would have done in China.”

    These people need a fucking reality check, for a litany of reasons.

    For those annoyed with all these Spider-Man films, Sony is obligated to keep making them to avoid losing the film rights. They’re ruining the franchise one movie at a time for this crap. At this point they should just stop and avoid throwing more money away.

      I’m pretty sure it’s so Sony can:

      1. Keep as much spiderman out of Marvel’s hands
      2. Not have to pay much.

      I remember Sony had a contract that they have the rights to Spiderman, as long as they keep making movies with it.

    Did they ever consider that maybe people are actually tired of Spider-Man? He’s been on TV or in theaters constantly for the last 60 years, retelling the exact same story, rehashing the same few “classic” runs of the comic. Maybe we’re just generally tired of “genius loser with superstrength”. Maybe we don’t need another high school story. Maybe, just maybe, they should look at a genuinely new property rather than Disney dreck.

      This isn’t rebooting the Marvel universe Spider-Man movies. This is rebooting all the ones that specifically had zero Spider-Man despite being about his main enemies: Morbius, Kraven, Madame Web, and Venom.

      Sony has the movie rights to Spider-Man, full stop. They lent Spidey to the MCU for a cut.

        In order to maintain the film rights, they have to make a spider man film every so often (2 years?) or the rights lapse and they loose them.

        Thus. Reboots. And Morbius. Etc…

    I really hope they add more legs this time, it is just unrealistic that they only have four in the old Spidermans.
