Every upcoming Spider-Man film and TV show in development

Everyone needs a friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man, and perhaps that is why the character's legacy — and universe — has endured for so long on the silver screen.

Sony has kept a tight hold of the rights to the Marvel franchise since bringing the character to audiences with Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy starring Tobey Maguire, though they chose to make a landmark deal with Marvel in 2015 that allowed Tom Holland to don the webslinger's suit for the MCU.

Over the years, Sony has been expanding the Spider-Man universe little by little, and things kicked into high gear after the box office success of Venom. The film opened the door for Sony's own cinematic universe, one they had long sought after, which focuses on various iconic villains from the Spidey comics.

This means that there are plenty of films in the Spider-Man universe for fans to look forward to.

Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse | TBC

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse delighted audiences worldwide but the third film in the franchise, titled Beyond the Spider-Verse, is currently stuck in a bit of web-tangle.

The film will follow on from the events of the second animated film, which saw Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) learn that he is an anomaly in his universe and was never meant to be Spider-Man.

Rejecting the idea that all Spider-people have to follow the same path as Miguel O'Hara (Oscar Isaac) tells him, he escapes and ends up in the universe where he Miles Morales is the Prowler.

Spider-Man 4 | TBC

Spider-Man 4 is still in the works at Sony, with Tom Holland expected to return to the franchise as Peter Parker after the dramatic events of Spider-Man: No Way Home.

In an interview with Deadline in April 2024, the British star said "everyone wants it to happen" and that Marvel has "the best in the business" working on the film.

"The simple answer is that I'll always want to do Spider-Man films," he said. "I owe my life and career to Spider-Man. So the simple answer is yes. I'll always want to do more."

Spider-Man Noir (TV) | Prime Video

Nicolas Cage is set to reprise his role as Spider-Man Noir for an upcoming live-action TV series for MGM+ and Amazon's Prime Video.

Cage previously voiced the character in 2018's animated film Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, and the show will mark the legendary actor's first ever regular television role. "No one else could bring such pathos, pain, and heart to this singular character,” said Katherine Pope, president of Sony Pictures Television Studios, said about Cage when Amazon announced the project in May 2024.

Noir will tell the story “of an aging and down on his luck private investigator (Cage) in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life as the city’s one and only superhero.” It will be produced by the Spider-Verse team of Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Amy Pascal. The showrunners will be Oren Uziel (22 Jump Street, Mortal Kombat) and Steve Lightfoot (Hannibal, The Punisher).

In July 2024, a flurry of casting news made its way online with Brendan Gleeson joining New Girl actor Lamorne Morris in boarding the project. While Gleeson's role remains a mystery, it was revealed that Morris will play a gritty journalist Robbie Robertson.

“Driven, hard-working, and won’t take no for an answer. A dedicated journalist trying to make it with the odds stacked against him as a black professional in 1930s New York," says the official character synopsis. "He takes on riskier stories that no one else would touch in order to catch attention and a paycheck. He is willing to do whatever is necessary for his career.”

Silk: Spider Society (TV) | TBC

In 2022 it was confirmed that Amazon would be moving forward on multiple live-action shows based on Sony's world of Marvel characters. The first series coming to Prime Video is said to be Silk: Spider Society, based on the character Cindy Moon "a Korean-American woman bitten by the same spider that bit Peter Parker, as she escapes imprisonment and searches for her missing family on her way to becoming the superhero known as Silk.”

The series, also produced by Lord, Miller, and Pascal, is being developed by Angela Kang, best known as a showrunner on AMC's zombie series. The Walking Dead.

El Muerto | On hold

El Muerto was set to star musician Bad Bunny in the title role with Jonás Cuarón directing it. The Spider-Man character is a wrestler with super-human strength and a notable villain in the comics.

However, because of the rapper's busy touring schedule and the 2023 Hollywood strike, Sony decided to delay the release of El Muerto. It's still without an ETA, and in May 2024, Bad Bunny confirmed that he had left the project.

Sony has a number of Spidey-related projects currently in development. These include villain-movie The Sinister Six, a Nightwatch adventure, a Jackpot adaptation, a Hypno-Hustler feature that has been linked to Donald Glover and untitled films attached to both Olivia Wilde and Roberto Orci.
