News Spider-Man Sony’s Spider-Man Universe Is Dead. Long Live Sony’s Spider-Man Universe Sony Pictures’ CEO confirmed that the Spider-Man Universe will be rebooted By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on February 24, 2026 Screenshot: Sony/Marvel Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: Sony/Marvel Even after the box office (and critical) horrors of Morbius, Madame Web, and Kraven the Hunter, it’s not surprising that Sony can’t quit making more Spider-Man films: the IP is just too big! But given those major Sony Spider-Man flops, it’s even less surprising that the powers that be at the company want to wipe the slate clean and start anew. Tom Rothman, the CEO of Sony Pictures, effectively said as much during an interview on The Town (via /Film). Rothman confirmed that the live-action Spider-Man Universe is not dead, but when host Matt Belloni asked if the universe would be a “fresh reboot” with “new people,” Rothman agreed in the affirmative. (Rothman also joked that Belloni should audition for the Marvel character they own called Mr. Negativity when the host called the agreement for Disney’s Marvel to have Spider-Man in their Cinematic Universe a “tail between the legs” moment for Sony, but I digress.) When will we see a new Sony Spider-Man Universe? It’s unclear, but Rothman had this to say about the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s recent downswing, which seems relevant here. “Scarcity has value—you’ve got to have the audience miss you.” I don’t know if time will make me fonder of Jared Leto’s Morbius, but with the clean slate Rothman is promising, it sounds like that won’t be a problem.
