    No writer is attached to the project although Sony’s animation arm, Sony Pictures Animation, is opening up a writers room to develop the a script or takes.

    I feel like this is just Sony flaunting that they own the rights to characters like Venom and they want a return on investment. This is basically a signal to Marvel Studios, “We own Venom. We made three live action films. We’re going to make some animated films. Make us an offer.”

    Sony Pictures Animation has a strong track record. The Spider-verse films have been fantastic so far. They own K-Pop Demon Hunters who exploded this past year. They have a steady track record with Hotel Transylvania. They intend to expand with Mitchell vs the Machines.

    We’ve also seen rumors of future Spider-verse spinoffs, including Gwen Stacy.

    This supposed film is years away, five years at least.

      Definitely nor make us an offer move, I get you but they are really successful with animation right now and they definitely dont want to sell anything.

      They could allow his use for a fee but realistically they will use him as a villain, if anything, in their owm spidey movies. As in the ones Marvel makes for them.
