Predicting Marvel's MCU TV Shows

7. A Live-Action Spider-Man TV Series

One thing that's actually interesting to note about the Marvel TV situation is that Marvel Studios have had the rights to make live action Spider-Man series for almost a decade now, ever since Sony renegotiated the use of the character's on-screen rights.

This means that the House of Mouse have the full license to make whatever Spider-Man show they want, even as Sony gear up to make their own film series based on various elements of Spidey's supporting cast. Miles Morales is an obvious contender for a series of his own, and with countless other Spidey characters to draw from too, the opportunity to make a spin-off is there for the taking.

As far as MCU shows go, a Spider-Man one is one of the more unlikely. However, if Marvel wish to take full advantage of his mythos in a different format, then the answer may actually lie in Disney's streaming service. They could get a high school drama of their own, and given the success of shows like Riverdale, wouldn't it be a no-brainer?

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
