Sony Pictures swinging around the Spider-Verse with another flick

Currently, MCU’s Spider-Man 4 news and rumors are flying around…to be precise…swinging around…of Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle aka The Punisher and Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk coming up in Spider-Man 4.

But there’s another Spidey project getting ready to swing by, as we await Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.

Yup, Sony Pictures Animation is developing a feature-length film centered on Hobie Brown, aka Spider-Punk, from Earth-138. Spider-Punk, aka Hobart Brown (Hobie Brown, made his appearance in the 2^nd Spider-Verse flick, Across the Spider-Verse, voiced by Nope and Get Out star Daniel Kaluuya.

HB’s personality and tone were something different, an amalgamation of anti-establishment mentality and a rebellious personality, all in a punk rock style.

Also, there’s news of Spider-Noir live-action being filmed with Nicholas Cage. With all these underway, it seems Sony won’t be handing their rights to the MCU any time soon, at least! They aren’t fiddling around.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is scheduled for July 31, 2026, and Spider-Noir will be released on MGM+ in the US and globally on Prime Video.
