Tom Rothman Says We'll Get "Real News" About Those SPIDER-MAN Spinoffs In The Near Future
Sony Pictures boss Tom Rothman has shed some light on where things stand with those rumoured Spider-Man spinoffs & offers an update on when the trailer for The Dark Tower will be officially released.
Before Sony Pictures decided to team up with Marvel Studios, they were set to release movies revolving around the Sinister Six and Venom. Both of those were shelved following the announcement that Spider-Man: Homecoming was in the works, but it appears as if the studio still has some big plans for their larger Spider-Man Universe. What are they? Who knows, but we're getting some news soon.
When Collider caught up with Sony Pictures boss Tom Rothman, he had the following to say about where things currently stand with their plans for spinoff movies. "We're working on lots of that stuff and there's a concerted effort now," he teased. "I think there will be real news opposed to speculative news before too long." The big question now is whether or not these movies are being produced alongside Marvel Studios, and if so, what the chances are of them being set in the MCU.
We'll have to wait and see for now, but Sony have dropped the ball so many times in the past that the prospect of them making their own Spider-Man related spinoff movies isn't exactly all that exciting.
As for when The Dark Tower trailer will be released, Rothman said only: "Christmas." That's great and all, but someone should probably tell the studio boss that it's already found its way online today!
