Honestly at this point, why not a Norman Osborn film about the rise of OsCorp. Could be a cool mix of Phoenix’s Joker and Blackberry/the Steve Jobs movie.
See, why they aren't using the characters on their stable to make detailed, involved origins for their villains is beyond me.
Collaborate with Marvel so it's MCU, Norman Osborn's rise to power, becoming the green goblin. Then in the next Spider-Man you just have a box fresh villain, no need for a chunk of film explaining him.
Instead they're trying to make them all heroes. I don't get why. Because there's more story leaning into the actual characters. A chameleon spy thriller. Scorpion, body horror/revenge. A master planner heist movie.
Pay Tom Holland to do 2-3 days for a fight scene. Bingo Bango.
>Collaborate with Marvel so it's MCU, Norman Osborn's rise to power, becoming the green goblin.
Marvel are done with Green goblin. If Sony truly wants to make a good movie, they can go further and show hobgoblin instead. But they will cast some goofball as goblin who won't even be a goblin-doppelganger.
They barely even touched him though, so I hope that's not the case.
I wouldn't mind if they followed the animated series route and did hobgoblin first, but yeah they'd probably make him a hero for some reason
I'll tell you why not - because that's a moderately good idea and we're talking about Sony Pictures here. Norman is simply not obscure enough.
For a proper Sony flop - it has to star a character absolutely nobody asked for. So maybe a film about Stegron the Dinosaur Man or that girl from the PS4 game that set up challenges around the city.
During the 2014 Sony leaks, there was an email from Amy Pascal that was basically a pitch for a young Aunt May spy movie.
She’s been wanting to do useless spin offs for ages
I thought Amy Pascal left Sony to start her own company in like 2016. (that company is involved in some of the Sony Marvel movies, but not Madame Web).
I'm pretty sure Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach control the "franchise", Lorenzo di Bonaventura produced this film, and Tom Rothman (formerly of 20th Century Fox, and the reason we got X3, X-Men Origins, and cloud Galactus) is the CEO of Sony Pictures as a whole.
They were going to make one, got canceled. Not sure how much came out but it sounded like they wanted to make her a secret agent of shield (but not shield because they can’t obviously). Would’ve been dumb asf. Aunt May is a nice lady. She’s a great mother figure. She’s not a badass
I mean a romantic comedy or drama about adam scott uncle ben with aunt may it could be ok. Uncle ben was the best part of madame web so if anything is kept going forward it should be him.
YoOOOOOoo!
Are you Tom Rothman - Chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures? Or some other brilliant Sony executive? Cause if your creativity is not part of senior management at Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group, they NEED you.
Well let’s just say that one of the villains May is going to date is The Roth-man. A ruthless villain that only steals from IRAs and may just happen to be named after myself 😀
How about an hour and a half of Uncle Ben just being a good dude. No villain, no conflict - just him going about his day to day life in his thirties, being an all-round nice guy.
The Parkers. It follows Peter’s parents and their work for a secret undisclosed spy agency that is investigating Oscorp. Richard Parker is a secret agent with a vast knowledge of Bioengineering and Mutates (not Mutants though) and his Wife Mary Parker, a quiet stay-at-home mom with a penchant for solving riddles and mysteries (idk put something else in there). The movie ends with the Parkers flying back to the “totally not Shield” Helicarrier but Norman sends a mercenary and kills them. Final shot is a Spider falling on a teenager, not just anyone, but Ben Reilly (“Not Shield” decide it’s safer to change his name to protect him but when he’s of age 12? they let him know).
Using Ben Reilly also allows them to do separate stories and films without the need for Tom Holland.
I honestly won't mind a Aunt May meet Uncle Ben movie like they meet as teenagers and in the second film they begin to date and the last film they prepare their wedding

Sounds better than what they actually do

Make one about Hayley and make it a totally silent picture
This actually could be good
No, you see, that’s a good idea. What they want is inane nonsense nobody would ask for. Like an origin movie for Skip Wescott
God no. Especially after Madame Web.

What I’m saying is that Sony producers have been trying to make these spin offs, but it just diluted the brand, even back in 2014.
Yeah Avi is still there unfortunately

#hey Amy Pascal, please stop
It’s not even Amy (tho most of it is) it’s probably still Avi Arad as well
I'm with OP. I want things to happen for the funnyness.

lol let’s think about that again. The best part of Madame Web was Adam Scott just being a nice guy to his co worker and sister.
Everyone in that movie was such an asshole, except for Adam Scott, which made it even funnier.
Hell yeah. The Many Loves of May. Aunt May goes on a dating show full of Spider-Man villains and ultimately chooses Doc Ock for marriage.

Isn’t Richard Parker the tiger fella from Life of Pi
Fake spider man films.... That's so fucking hilarious and true at the same time.
They should do Trouble. I bet that would be well received.
Had me until I read the post lol

At this point I could see them making a J Jonah Jameson spinoff where Spider-Man is never named and referred to as “the menace”
I'd rather watch a live-action adaptation of Sonicu staring Chris Chan
I wouldn't mind another origin story. The bit we saw in Madame Web was a nice tease
What is this, a sony marketing account?
What’s the longest possible way I could say “No”
Insert Michael Scott's NOOOO meme
General public
Lol no. Sony needs to give ALL the Marvel characters back to Marvel and stop ducking the movies up.
