Sony Spin-Off Sony's Spider-Man Universe is now the official title for Sony's own Marvel Cinematic Universe

[XtremelyBaneful]

Sony's SMU, or SSMU I guess we can abbreviate it as, used to be Sony Picture's Universe of Marvel Characters. This news comes on day after the Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer was officially revealed.

A couple of takeaways here:

• Venom is still the first official installment of the SSMU.
• The Morbius trailer had a cameo by Michael Keaton in the exact same prison outfit he was in at the end of Spider-Man: Homecoming
• The Morbius trailer also had a poster on the wall of Spider-Man with "murderer" vandalized on top of it. Notably the suit in the poster is of Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man and the image itself used is from the Ps4 game
• The first Venom: Let There be Carnage trailer had a Daily Bugle newspaper with the same logo used in Tobey Maguire's films
• The Let There Be Carnage trailer also had a scene of Cletus Kasady smacking a spider on a seemingly prison surface
• JK Simmons will reportedly reprise his role as J. Jonah Jameson in Let There Be Carnage
• Sanford Panitch said "there is a plan" to connect Sony's Marvel films with Disney's MCU films
• Collider and Tom Holland said NwH is the final film in the 2019 Sony/Disney contract, but Variety reported that that contract includes Spider-Man in one more Marvel Studios film
• Kevin Feige also said in 2019 after the renegotiation that "...[Spider-Man] also happens to be the only hero with the superpower to cross cinematic universes..."

They should have just called it Spider-Verse.

They should have just called it Spider-Verse.

I think that will be in the title of a movie eventually (it already has been) so it would be confusing. I think the best name would just be the Spider-Man Cinematic Universe. SMCU.

Yeah just like Marvel Studios. But Venom 3 is a no brainier. They are probably keeping it secret since Morbius isn't out yet and who knows how is that movie going to perform.

I'm assuming Venom: Let There B3 ToXin would be released in October 2024. 3 years after the 2nd one.

Good. I always thought SSU was the best name for it if they were gonna have one

Hmmm they probably should have called it VenomVerse (VV). Especially Spider-Man hasn't even appeared in any of the films..

 

[Spider-Fan83]

it does seem to be hinting at the fact that we'll met a Spider-man in this Universe soon

But Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters is so much more catchier!

Marvel Sonyverse would be easier to say and remember.

How about Sony Pictures Inter-Dimensional Entertainment Reaching Marvel Audiences Nationwide?

Too long to memorize.

Just have to use the first letter of each word.

 

[psylockolussus]

Just have to use the first letter of each word.

SPIERMAN is still long.

But it reads like Spearman/Pierman so okay.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

first letter of each word...

E.W.?

 

[XtremelyBaneful]

E.W.?

it would be s. p. i. d. e. r. m. a. n.

I don't even know if I should try to defend a poorly landed joke from nearly a year ago, but...

I was being sarcastic...

 

[psylockolussus]

It feels completely unhinged that at one point Sony was going to release three of these things just this year.

In the multiverse, the madness eXists.

At least now I got to see and appreciate your poorly landed joke.

sarcasm is difficult to detect on the internet

 

[Spider-Fan83]

^for whats its worth now { nearly 2 years later} the joke was...

E.W. = Each Word (as in the first letter of "Each Word")

in case it wasn't still clear
