During an appearance on The Town podcast, Sony CEO Tom Rothman confirmed the Spider-Verse is not dead and they will make more movies at some point. He also confirmed that the universe will be a “fresh reboot” with “new people.”
“To your question about Spider-Man: Scarcity has value,” Tom said later in the episode. “You’ve got to make the audience miss you. It’s the old thing. I always had trouble getting girls to go out with me twice, but until fortunately, my wife took pity on me, but absence makes the heart grow fonder.”
The next Spider-Man movie, a collaboration between Sony and Disney’s Marvel Studios, wrapped filming back in December and will hit theaters this summer, on July 31st!
Nicolas Cage is also starring in a new Spider-Man TV series, Spider-Noir, which will debut on Prime Video and MGM+ on May 27th. Watch the teasers here!
