US Edition'Spider-Man' Film Series Officially Being Rebooted, Tom Holland Unlikely To Reprise Role
Sony Pictures will reboot its Spider-Man spin-off universe with new creators after multiple critical and box-office failures, including Morbius and Kraven the Hunter, CEO Tom Rothman said.
- Tom Rothman, Sony Pictures CEO, confirmed Sony will reboot its Spider-Man Universe with a `fresh reboot` and `new people`, but kept specifics private and said it will take time to spin up.
- After a string of weak releases, studio leaders cited Sony's Spider-Man Universe struggles since its 2018 launch with Venom, and outgoing CEO Tony Vinciquerra called Kraven the Hunter "probably the worst launch" of his tenure.
- Despite box-office for some entries, reviews stayed weak and online reaction worsened as critics scored SSU films poorly and IGN's Rebekah Valentine reported sequels like Madame Web 2 are unlikely.
- Rothman noted the film's $1.9 billion global haul and China issue, confirming Spider-Man: No Way Home was banned there due to its Statue of Liberty climax.
- Internal debate persists, with Sony executives blaming critics, while Rothman said they will still release Brand New Day on July 31, calling it a `fresh reboot.
