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

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..."

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.

 

damn, they announced dates but they didn't even announce the projects?
