The Spider-Man cinematic franchise has undulated financially and critically with every actor taking the mantle as the Web-Slinger — as well as a filmmaker behind the scenes — and in this third decade of the century, who knows where Sony and Marvel will take us next?
In a report by The Wrap yesterday, Mexican-American writer-producer Roberto Orci has been hired to write a Spider-Man spin-off film for Sony Pictures. Details have not yet been revealed.
Orci was a co-writer and executive producer on The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) and has also worked on other films including Mission: Impossible III, Transformers, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Cowboys & Aliens, and more. Looking at this, he has lent a good hand in the popular culture world.
Spider-Man has been a successful and profitable character on-film, on television, and in comics. The franchise has done marvelously with Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and will anticipate Morbius later this year and an upcoming third film set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Tom Holland under the mask next summer. Additionally, a sequel to Spider-Verse is in the works and will release in April 2022.
In 2014, Orci helped build an Andrew Garfield-led franchise that would have taken on the Sinister Six, which was slated to release in 2016 but was canceled around the time of the Sony hacks. With Morbius releasing this July, do you think we could get another villain film? Could we have a live-action film? Will Orci write a Sinister Six film?
