Part 10/11:
The Future of Spider-Man and Beyond
Despite current setbacks, Sony still plans to develop Spider-Man 4 with Tom Holland, slated for release in 2026. There are also new projects on the horizon, such as a Spider-Man Noir live-action film in development at Amazon, based on the animated character from Across the Spider-Verse.
The ongoing rumors—that Sony might relinquish some rights—are largely considered unlikely and speculative, especially given the immense profit potential and strategic importance of Spider-Man IP. Yet, industry analysts and insiders remain wary, acknowledging how fragile the multi-company ecosystem has become amid their internal disputes and changing audience tastes.
