These films would be entirely Sony, with no participation from or collaboration with Marvel, for better or worse.
According to a new report, that’s exactly what’s happening, but things may be decidedly darker this time around.
Between these recent updates and ongoing developments with the animated Spider-Man film, it doesn’t take any fancy detective work to deduce that Sony is gearing up to expand their Marvel universe.
(As Deadpool shows, those films can even lead to starting little sub-franchises of their own.)
