“We do very much have the ambition about creating a bigger universe around Spider-Man. There are a number of scripts in the works,” Sony Pictures Entertainment chief Michael Lynton said.

There is already a “Venom” movie in the works with Josh Trank attached (though obviously, his first priority is “Fantastic Four” over at Fox), and with Sinister Six already teased pretty heavily and countless other Spidey characters from the canon to tackle, it’s clear the studio is looking at the Marvel model…
I just… I don’t even… sigh…
It’s like, “Oh hey look, Marvel and Disney had this really successfull thing they did, LET’S ALL DO IT EXACTLY LIKE THAT!” The problem is, the world doesn’t work that way. Ugh.
