After 2018’s  Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was a commercial and critical success it’s no surprise that Sony has greenlighted a sequel shortly after.

The first movie made 375 million dollars at the box office and it even won an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. Some consider it to be the best outing in the web-slinger movie roster. 

Now the sequel’s production, which began on June 8th is getting an additional boost with animator Octavio E. Rodriguez joining it. Rodriguez confirmed this move in his twitter account by posting a quick 10 seconds teaser featuring the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2 spider symbol, alongside the hashtag #headofstory.

Peter Ramsey, the first movie’s director, reconfirmed the animator’s involvement, tweeting he is “so excited” to see him joining the crew. 

Not many details are known of the sequel, but we do know is that it will also center around the character of Miles Morales and that his relationship with Gwen Stacy will play a central role.

Over his long career in animation Rodriguez has worked with various animation studios including Disney, Lucasfilm, and Cartoon Network. Some of his most notable projects are Incredibles 2, Monsters University, and Coco, which all garnered acclaim for their animation style.

 Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2 is set to be released in October 2022.

In an interview with Howard Stern, Seth Rogan revealed why, despite hints and rumors, Pineapple Express never got a sequel. According to Rogan, at least some of the blame rests with Sony refusing to budget the project.

“We tried to make one and thanks to the Sony hack you can actually find the email when Sony decided to kill the movie and not make it,” Rogan said. “It was something we were very open to several years ago, but Sony was not that interested in it. I think we probably wanted too much money. Studios, they don’t like giving away money. Weird thing.”

The 2014 big Sony hack revealed an email from producer Judd Apatow to the studio, in which he expresses excitement about making a sequel. “I am so glad we are so close to getting Pineapple Express 2 figured out. I am very excited to make this thing real. We are very inspired creatively on this one. We have hilarious ideas. It is gonna be awesome,” the email said.

As was later revealed, the production asked Sony for a budget of $50 million but the studio agreed only to a $45 million budget. The parties never reached an agreement and the project never took off.

Will it ever see the light of day? The long-awaited Uncharted movie just hit another bump with yet another director, Travis Knight, leaving the project.

Since the beginning of the movie’s active development back in 2008, the project had seen David O. Russell, Neil Burger, Seth Gordon, and Shawn Levy as the attached directors. It seems now that Sony will push back the movie’s release date and is now looking for a new director.

The project has hit other hurdles along the way. the most recent is due to Tom Holland’s Spider-Man scheduling which interfered with the production. Holland is still due to wear the webslinger’s suit this summer and him and his co-star Mark Wahlberg are still on board for the project. Wahlberg was originally meant to star in the film, but he is now supposed to play Sully – a mentor for Drake – Holland’s main character.

Although both Uncharted and Spider-Man are important to Sony, it’s obvious that Spider-Man will take precedence over the struggling film. Spider-Man: Far From Home is the highest-grossing film of all time for the studio and fans are eager to see the continuation of Peter Parker’s adventures.

Sony Pictures’ Spider-Man spinoff adds to its cast. 

Jared Harris has been cast in Morbius, one of the serval projects currently in development based on characters from the Spider-Man comics. 

The films center on the infamous biochemist, Dr. Michael Morbius, created by writer Roy Thomas and artist Gil Kane. Dr. Morbius first debuted in the 1971’s The Amazing Spider-Man #101 issue. In the comics, he is a Nobel Prize-winning biochemist who is transformed into a vampire while attempting to cure a rare blood disease. After treating himself with serum derived from bats, he turns into an anti-hero, which includes a taste for human blood. 

Harris, whose role is being kept under wraps, will star opposite Jared Leto, who plays the titular villain. 

Set to direct is Daniel Espinosa from a script by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless. Avi Arad, Matt Tolmachm and Lucas Foster are producing. 

Harris’ credits are many, including television’s Mad Men and The Crown, as well as the features The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.

The hotel now seems open for business once again, with Sony Pictures Animation announcing a fourth instalment!

Hotel Transylvania 4 will be released on December 21, 2021, just in time for Christmas, with it possible that the film will take on a festive feel.

The third film in the series has so far been the most successful, grossing $528.6 million worldwide, and forming part of the series’ $1.3 billion global reach.

Starring Adam Sandler, Selena Gomez, and Andy Samberg, we’re crossing fingers that all will return for number four.

Sony has confirmed two dates for movies set in the Spider-Man universes.

It might be a long way off, but an untitled Sony-Marvel movie will be released on July 10, 2020. An untitled sequel in the same universe will follow on October 2.

No specifics have been revealed yet, but we can make an educated guess. It is likely that the July project will be Morbius, starring Jared Leto. Morbius is a living vampire from the Marvel universe. The villain seeks a cure for a blood disease and then ends up transitioning into a vamp. The project is set to be directed by Daniel Espinosa.

It is also reasonable to assume that the scheduled sequel is for Venom, which was generally well-received upon its release earlier this year. Although critics did not respond particularly well to the Tom Hardy film, it fared well in the box-office and has earned close to $570 million worldwide. It is therefore highly likely that Sony would want to capitalize on the movie’s success by bringing out a sequel.

Nonetheless, all we can say for sure is that there are two Sony Marvel movies on their way. We will share more details when they are announced.
