9 Big Predictions About Sony’s Spider-Man Universe
2. Peter Parker Will Never Appear In The SpiderVerse
When Sony announced plans to press ahead with Spider-Man spinoffs despite loaning the character back to Marvel, one of the questions on everyone's lips was whether the two universes will ever collide. It seems a shame to keep Spidey and Venom apart, plus all those villains in the SpiderVerse need to be kept in check by somebody.
This job is unlikely to be handed to Spider-Man anytime soon since he's been too much of a roaring success in the MCU and they have a five-movie plan for him, with three of those films still to come.
If the two upcoming Avengers sequels and Spider-Man: Homecoming's follow-up hit all the right notes critically and commercially - which they probably will - Marvel is more likely to renew its loan deal for Spidey than allow him to return to Sony to be recast yet again.
The SpiderVerse needs a white knight to balance out all of that anti-heroism, but with any luck, Sony will go for something more original and introduce Spider-Woman or Spider-Girl to its cinematic universe instead of another Peter Parker rehash.
