What Emily Carmichael revealed to Vulture paints a clear picture that Sony’s goal is to build a shared universe, where the many characters of Spider-Man’s rogues gallery, his allies, foes and frenemies will all populate, exist and interact in the same universe.
So if there was any doubt, it looks as though Sony will join the MCU and the DCEU in the shared comic book universe game.
As someone who was in the running for Silver & Black, Emily Carmichael was naturally shown some of what Sony is hoping to do with that film and the wider universe.
It’s all more than enough to build out a shared universe.
