Sony’s Spider-Man Universe Webslings Its Way Onto TV

Oh, did you assume the MCU had a monopoly on Marvel TV sequence? Sony Pictures, license holders of the Spider-Man (But Technically Spider-Man-Less) Cinematic Universe, has introduced that the Webslinger’s prolonged solid of characters will prolong itself to tv as rumored again in 2020, starting with Silk: Spider Society, coming finally to Prime Video.

I personally am a giant fan of Silk, who was a fellow scholar of Peter Parker named Cindy Moon; she attended the identical science lab tour as him, acquired bitten by the identical radioactive spider, and acquired a largely comparable set of powers. But what many of us will seemingly be most excited by is the announcement that Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse administrators Phil Lord and Christopher Miller will govt produce Silk. The Walking Dead’s Angela Kang will function the showrunner which, in case you’ve been watching The Walking Dead (and also you nearly actually haven’t been) could also be much less heartening.

The solely different issues we all know are that Sony intends to make many extra Spider-Verse sequence than simply Silk, they usually’ll all head to Prime Video and the MGM+ cable/satellite tv for pc TV channel (previously Epix) once they’re prepared. Given the latest mess that was the Morbius film, I’m probably not certain why I’m feeling so optimistic about Sony pulling this off. Maybe it’s simply because this challenge lastly stars an precise Spider-hero?
