[Movie News] Sony Developing ‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’ Sequel and Spinoff
I am a massive Spider-man fan. I admittedly did not have high hopes for Sony doing their animated movie after seeing their multiple live-action attempts which always felt just ….. ok.
But, as I said I’m a massive fan and I went to see Spider-man: Into the Spider-Verse and it was amazing, it was spectacular, it was sensational. It was easily one of the best movies to come out in 2018 and it’s arguably THE best Spider-man movie we’ve seen animated or otherwise. The movie won a well deserved Oscar.
So it comes as no surprise that Sony wants to do a sequel and a spinoff for Spider-Gwen who was a big hit. The actual surprise is that it looks like Peter Ramsey may not be involved.
Wait — IT IS?!? https://t.co/10ROVTmckG

Spider-Man’s web of movies is about to grow. Sony Pictures is already developing a sequel and spinoffs to its upcoming animated film, “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,” sources said.
The news comes more than two weeks before “Into the Spider-Verse” hits theaters. Though the latest Spidey project launches on Dec. 14, the studio is moving ahead with installments with sources citing “incredible buzz.”
Amy Pascal will produce, and it’s likely that Marvel Studios founder Avi Arad and “Spider-Verse” producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller will also be involved. Sony is said to be planning a “Spider-Verse” sequel that will continue Miles Morales’ story.
The studio is also looking for other spinoffs, and one that is gaining traction is a Spider-Women film that will focus on three generations of women with Spidey powers. Though no decisions have been made, one of these characters could be Spider-Gwen from the Spider-Verse. Bek Smith will write.
