After Venom, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, and Morbius, three films that received mixed to negative reviews, Sony is still believing in their own cinematic universe featuring Marvel characters. It’s safe to say that Venom 3 is on its way, although it seems unlikely that Morbius will get a sequel at this moment, following its critical and commercial failure.

Two upcoming movies set in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, as it’s officially called, are Kraven the Hunter and Madame Web. Kraven the Hunter is currently in production and it’s set to be released in January 2023. And, according to the newest report released by Sony, Madame Web is now set to hit theaters on July 7, 2023.

Dakota Johnson has been cast to star in the titular role earlier this year, and Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney will also star in an undisclosed role. S. J. Clarkson is set to direct the movie from the screenplay written by Matt Sazama & Burk Sharpless, the same duo who wrote Morbius. Let’s hope they’ll do a better job with this film.

Upcoming Marvel Movies: The Complete List

With three movies released so far, Sony’s Spider-Man Universe grossed $1.442 billion worldwide. Both Venom movies were commercially successful, despite the mixed reception from the critics, but Morbius didn’t manage to do the same. It’s hard to say is it because Morbius was delayed no less than seven times before it was released (which reminds us of the situation that Fox had with its New Mutants movie), or the negative reception and the fact that Morbius isn’t such a known character among Marvel fans like Venom always was. We’ll see how will that affect upcoming movies, especially Madame Web because it was announced that the movie will follow source material very loosely.

Lukas Abramovich is a freelance writer and photo and video editor based in Croatia. He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
