A sequel, Venom: Let There Be Carnage is set to release in 2021. The project is completely unrelated to the MCU, and represents the start of Sony's Spider-Man Universe, a Spiritual Successor to the TASM-Verse concept.

The movies are not a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as Sony planned to build an extensive Shared Universe consisting of Spider-Man characters. Most of the crew who worked on the trilogy remained on board to work on the rebooted franchise, but were now entirely under Sony's creative word.

The film series is notable for being an ambitious attempt at a wide media franchise, but was cancelled due to numerous creative woes that Sony faced in trying to build a Shared Universe without access to the characters of the greater Marvel Universe.Īfter Sam Raimi had a falling out with Sony over the creative direction of the fourth film in his Spider-Man series, Sony decided to cancel his franchise and reboot the series without him, leading to the removal of trilogy stars Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst, as well. It was produced by Avi Arad (who also produced the aforementioned trilogy) and Matt Tolmach. It is a Continuity Reboot of the Sam Raimi Spider-Man Trilogy, but is still handled by Columbia Pictures (which is owned by Sony). The Amazing Spider-Man is a film duology of the iconic Marvel Comics superhero, starring Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, alongside Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, Sally Field as May Parker, Campbell Scott as Richard Parker, Embeth Davidtz as Mary Parker, and Denis Leary as George Stacy.
