The “Venom” trilogy was huge, but other spinoffs like “Kraven the Hunter” and “Madame Web” were misfires. Why didn’t those work?
Ultimately, the audience wasn’t satisfied enough with them. Whether that’s a fair assessment of those movies, who knows. That’s howling into the wind. The audience is the boss, and they didn’t respond. It’s as simple as that.
Are there plans to keep developing Sony’s universe of Marvel characters?
Right now, we don’t know. We never looked at it as the “Sony-Marvel Universe.” We looked at if there were worthwhile movies to make with other characters. At the moment, there are none in active development.

This movie should in theory have less draw than No Way Home and people are eating it up. Shows what a good story can do. There is for not at least no Spider-Man fatigue.
I hope the lesson here is not “just make more Spider-Man” movies.
