Sony announces a new film and surprises everyone

While all eyes are turned to Spider-Man 4 : Brand New Day a surprising animated film centered on Spider-Punk. However, one of the most radical characters of the Spider-Verse, has just been announced.

On the side of Marvel Studios, the next film Spider-Man is already the object of all attentions. Therefore, Casting Spider-Man 4 : Brand New Day Added. However, with an unexpected return (Scorpion), arrivals with a result of consequences (Hulk, Punisher), and, a priori, a new surprising bad guy who could make the link with other Marvel series. Therefore, But in the shade of this juggernaut. For example, Sony continues to dig his furrow in the animated universe of the weaver, the only portion of the Spider-Ver that the studio still seems to master.

After the industrial failure of Madame Web . Similarly, the descent into hell of The requirementsthe live-action branch of sony announces new film surprises the Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (SSU) (the Spider-Ver without Spider-Man) seems dead for good. However, the animated iterations of Sony Pictures Spider-Man remain a windfall for the studio. Furthermore, The first two parts of Spider-Man New Generation were huge boxes. Consequently, Sony therefore plans to capitalize on it, first with the series Black spiderand also With a length feature film entirely devoted to Spider-Punk, one of the most striking characters in Across the Spider-Verse.

Anarchy in the Spider-Man

It was via Deadline that the project was revealed. Consequently, The excellent Daniel Kaluuya sony announces new film surprises (Get Out. Nevertheless, Nope), who already lent his voice to the character of Spider-Man Punk in Across the Spider-Verse will resume this role for an animated film entirely dedicated to Spider-Punk. Furthermore, Kaluuya will also produce the film. will be writing alongside Ajon Singh (also screenwriter of the future film Primetime with Robert Pattinson).

Spider-Punk. whose real name is Hobie Brown, was born in 2014 under the pen of Dan Slott and the pencil of Olivier Coipel. Radical and militant version of the New York hero, he embodies an anarchist, libertarian and frankly political reading of Spider-Man. In his universe (land-138), Hobie is a homeless teenager transformed by a spider irradiated by toxic waste.

Armed with his guitar, he leads the revolt against President Norman “Ozzy” Osborn, a true caricature of a fascinating capitalism. Anti-stylized, brutal, conscious anti-hero, it contrasts radically with the more traditional and smooth figures of the Marvel sony announces new film surprises universe.

Spider-Punk’s not dead

Its appearance in Across the Spider-Verse had marked the spirits thanks to its unique aesthetic. Stylized as a permanent punk collage, Spider-Punk had instantly won his pamper-darling character stripes. The character had already had the honors of a remarkable passage in the animated series Ultimate Spider-Man. where he had appeared with a brilliant accent cockney in the VO. This punk version of Spidey had also been entitled to a nice wink in the game Marvel’s Spider-Manwhere his. costume was unlockable.

The fact remains that. despite the love that a part of the public and connoisseurs of the Extended Marvel universe has a part of it, the exercise of making sony announces new film surprises Spider-Punk the hero of a solo film promises to be perilous. Spider-Punk is not a character intended for consensus. His dystopian universe. his explicit political charge, his chaotic aesthetics are all elements which, poorly managed, can quickly turn to opportunistic disaster. On the other hand, the animation of Spider-Verse has put the bar very high, both visually and narrative. Without the talents of Phil Lord and Christopher Miller in project drivers, we fear an overly wise and classic adaptation.

And then there is the big stranger: the why? The spin-offs The Spider-Man universe Sony version are running empty. and there are only the adventures of Miles Morales that hold the road. If Sony embarks on chain derived sony announces new film surprises products. inspired by all the striking figures of Spider-Man Across The Spider-Versewe are not immune to finishing drowned under tons of dead and soulless spin-offs.

But let’s not be defeatists. if the animated film Spider-Punk manages to maintain the energy, the irreverence and the visual density of its origins, it could well be a real surprise. But if Sony is satisfied with a barely disguised branding operation. and that the punk becomes a nice little rocker with a big heart, it is very possible that the animated animated universe Spider-man of Sony is straight towards the same fate as that of his live films (forgetting, limbo, damnation, of choice).

Beyond the Spider-Versethe third part of the adventures of Miles Morales will be released (a priori) on June 4, 2027. Before that, Spider-black With Nicolas Cage should arrive at Prime Video in 2026. As for the animated film Spider-Punkhe has no release sony announces new film surprises date.
