Spider-Verse Thread #4857: Sony Considering a TV series
- Thread starter BWoog
- Start date
this.
Last I read, they don't hold the rights for any TV adaptation.
LOL that is was what I was wondering, that is why Spectacular was canceled, cause Sony gave back the rights and Disney wanted to start fresh
I've never seen a studio so quick and shamelessly to milk anything remotely successful. It's like anytime a Spiderman movie shows promise they already have spinoffs, other media ideas, multiple sequels and toy lines all lined up
OP

Is there a loophole that they could do Miles if they don't mention Peter at all?
Nope Sony only has film rights, they could release 30 minute eps in theaters every week I imagine that would be a way around it
yeahhhh jeez
i mean i like spider-verse a lot and i would like something to follow up on that but sony gotta chill the fuck out
I assume that they probably negotiating the deal with Disney since they do have a good relationship, but eh Sony kinda needs Disney/Marvel more than Disney/Marvel needs Spider-Man in the MCU.
That's Sony for you, throw pie on the wall to see what sticks and then milk it for all its worth.
To be fair it's a movie about the multiverse so it's already kind of set up for lots of spinoffs.
Fox didn't own the TV rights to X-Men and they were able to get a deal to get Legion and Gifted done. What will Sony give up to be able to get a deal with Disney done?
45 mins+. IIRC that's what was in the contract.
Marvel already gets all the merchandise money.

They're going to completely destroy what they just started to build with the financial success of Venom and critical success of Spider-Verse.
(I have to make sure to differentiate due to how terrible Venom is.)

I can't see a TV series being successful unless they bring in someone like a Greg Weisman.
I wonder what he could do with a Spider-Man serial.
Oh right! Now I remember.

I have to imagine Disney and Sony are in talks over a animated series if this is the case. If this were to come to fruition I have to wonder what the TV series would look like considering how long and how much effort was needed to make Into the Spider-Verse look so damn good.
Yeah, good thing you put that in I'm sure people aren't tired of the nonstop Venom hate on this forum.
From Disney? Pfft fat chance of that, Disney isn't going to sell it. License it out probably but not outright sell it, especially when they got it for dirt cheap from Sony in the first place.
0% chance Disney sells it.
180MM plus paying a BE of up to 35MM per theatrical release for 25% of merchandise rights is not really dirt cheap IMO. Fair value.
Miles is already on the current Disney Spider Man show. His name is "Kid Arachnid" cause he can't be Spider Man cause Peter is the main character and is already Spider Man.
If Marvel are going to angle for anything it'll be a more permanent place for Spidey in the MCU.
It's dirt cheap in the long run when you consider that Spider-Man merchandise rake in the profit. All Sony has is the box office and pray hope that their movies doesn't bomb whereas Disney doesn't have that problem.
Oh so that's why I kept seeing toys of him with that title, I thought it was Marvel trying to rebrand him like how Spider-Gwen is now Ghost Spider.
It's actually a fantastic trade to use Sony's desire to do a Spider-Verse TV show for an extension on MCU Spider-Man for Marvel.
As I mentioned Marvel/Disney already get all the merchandise money for any SM related merch, including anything from pictures and tv. Anything can happen, but I still wonder if all that Disney got from Fox for Legion and Gifted were money. If that's the case, Disney will certainly be open to being overpaid to license it to Sony and Sony won't have to give up more of Spidey.
Long term, yeah. I was thinking short term. Your point is especially true now that the 2015 deal lowered the BE fee that Disney has to pay Sony.
I'm guessing if Disney was going to do a deal like that, they would want an expiration date on the contract, or at the very least significantly loosen Sony's grip on the movie license. There's not a lot to them to just extend the deal on an as is basis.
Agreed. If they want a series, then make a series of films and keep them relatively infrequent so they get the time they need in the oven and for refinement. Into The Spider-Verse was a huge surprise because I think a lot of people just expected it to be a cash-in... it would be a shame to see it devolve into just being a cash-in.
The Spider-Man franchise has had its best animated stuff under Sony.
Spectacular and Spider-Verse are great.
Do some of you just like to immediately jump on the Sony hate wagon? I am sure someone at Sony would go "no shit" to all the comments regarding Disney owning the tv rights...maybe open up to the idea that if Sony are talking about doing these tv spinoffs that maybe they are negotiating with Disney or already did? Marvel did promote this movie on its social media channels( something that they totally avoided for venom) and it is possible maybe they negotiated with Sony for tv series or maybe it is coming to the disney streaming service.
Why bother even coming into these threads if this is the kind of post you're gonna make? Just don't click on them. Problem solved.
I think that was in the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon before the latest, not the current one
When a god awful film ends up making $1b at the box office, it'll be a hot topic of discussion.
(But also, they were both successes in very different ways so I think it was important to explain what I meant by that. Spider-Verse is not the massive hit people were thinking/hoping for.)
...you sure? I know it was definitely in the last one but I thought it carried over. I dunno. I watch it but barely pay attention. Lol.
Or just, bring back Spectacular Spider-Man
Spider-Man movies have never bombed, ASM2 came the closest but even that made a profit eventually
Extending the MCU deal and keeping Holland out of the Venom-verse would satisfy Marvel

Some films are so bad that it becomes enjoyable. I get that.
But either way, it's a poorly made film that was a massive success. Spider-Verse was a brilliantly made film that had modest success. And now Sony is planning on milking both to hell and back.
nope, Miles goes by the much more bearable Spider-Kid in "Marvel's Spider-Man"
