The announcement comes at an unexpected time, just before the premiere of the latest film starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson. This decision puts an end to a franchise that began in 2018 with Venom and which included other titles such as Morbius y Madame Web.
An ambitious project that lost its way
Sony’s original idea was to build a Marvel-style cinematic universe, but focused on Spider-Man’s villains, without the presence of the spider hero. Although Venom started on the right foot by raising more than 850 million dollars, the sequels and spin-offs such as Morbius y Madame Web They did not achieve the same impact, neither at the box office nor with critics.
As reported The Wrapone of the main reasons for the failure has been the “lack of quality control”. Many of these films were poorly received for their script and execution, and in some cases, as with Madame Webeven its relevance was questioned.
The comparison with Universal’s Dark Universe, which also failed after the premiere of The mummy (2017), it is inevitable. Both projects shared the ambition of creating connected universes, but were stalled by poor creative decisions and lukewarm public reception.
Closing with ‘Kraven The Hunter’
Despite this abrupt ending, Sony has high expectations for Collar The Hunter. The film, starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson alongside Russell Crowe and Ariana DeBose, will explore the origins of Sergei Kravinoff, a Russian hunter without superpowers, but with superhuman abilities and unmatched tactics.
However, its premiere, delayed several times, comes at a time when the saga no longer generates enthusiasm among viewers.
With this closure, Sony plans to refocus its efforts on projects that have proven to be successful. Upcoming movies Spider-Man: a new universe will continue to expand the acclaimed animated universe, while other projects such as Spider-Blackwith Nicolas Cage, will seek to attract new audiences.
In addition, according to Infobae, Tom Holland will continue playing Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, collaborating with Disney in future installments of the Avengers.
Although the Sony Spider-Verse closes its doors, it leaves important lessons about how to build a successful cinematic universe. The future for Sony will now depend on its ability to capitalize on projects that truly connect with fans and maintain the quality that audiences expect.
Con Collar The Huntera chapter closes that promised a lot, but that failed to reach the expected level. Now, everything seems to indicate that the focus will once again be on the spider hero and his multiple versions, both animated and in live action.
