Unsurprisingly, Sony Pictures' slate of Spider-Man-adjacent spin-offs remains on hold, and it sounds like that's led to the studio scrapping plans for a project revolving around Knull, God of Symbiotes...
Mmmmm IDK about that. I think your underestimating how popular Spider-Man is. I know that as far as merchandise goes (T-shirts, toys, etc.) Spider-Man out sells Superman and Batman combined, by a lot.
I genuinely don’t understand what you’re trying to say here champ lol. SONY made “Across the spider verse” in 2023 and also produced and distributed “No Way Home” in 2021. Can you explain it to me please?
There’s a lot of hope that this is a sign that Sony and Disney have made a deal to return Spidey to Marvel.
Back in the before times, I remember Sony’s deal was that they had to keep making movies in order to hold onto the rights.
With Sony in talks about buying WB, it would make sense that they don’t need spidey anymore.

Sony can’t make Spider-Man movies.
Batman by himself is the fifth most profitable merch IP in the world. Spider-Man isn’t even in the top ten. Idk where you got your info from.
“Sony can’t make Spider-Man movies.”
What do you mean?
“Idk where you got your info from.”
The Licensing Letter listed Marvel’s Spider-Man global retail sales at $1.3 billion and Avengers at $325 million in 2013, compared with DC’s Batman at $494 million and Superman at $277 million.
You haven’t noticed sony hasn’t made a Spider-Man movie in over a decade?

Marvel does own merch rights. But Spider-Man movies are always profitable. Even Amazing Spider-Man 2 was. It’s free money.
However the spin-offs, outside of Venom, have been break-even at best.
