Its official.Knullhas destroyed Sonys Spider-Man villain universe.
Morbin time is over.
Ezekiel Sims has prevented the future.
Kravens last hunt has commenced.
Or so a cynic might say!
Honestly, its about time.
Look, weve all had our fun.
But lets face it, Sonys shared cinematic universe was a dubious idea from the beginning.
But Sony remains a giant business, run by legions of executives who need to kindly their shareholders.
And so good things couldnt last forever.
The studio began increasingly pressing notes onto RaimisSpider-Man 3, insisting on the inclusion of Venom.
Nonetheless, the new status quo of sharing the character didnt cause Sony to completely reverse course.
Hes overcome by responsibility.
They exist to highlight Spider-Mans qualities, not to replace him.
Theoretically, making these characters into protagonists of their own stories would have solved their secondary status.
The company only wanted to make IP-driven cash-ins, and it showed.
BothSpider-Man: Into the Spider-VerseandSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Verseare miracle movies.
But it sounds like Sonys determined to find out.
But it also means the thirdSpider-Versefilm.
Does this mean thatSpider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Versewill pit Miles and his Amazing Multiversal Friends against Knull?
After a dance with Morbin Time, its fair to say anything is possible.
Kraven the Hunter closes out Sonys Villain Universe in theaters on Friday, Dec. 13.
