Sony Pictures CEO confirms Spider-Man spinoff universe is rebooting

After Sony’s last Spider-Man spinoff film failed to become a box office success — a problem most of Sony’s Spidey-free Spider-Man movies have had — the studio is hitting the reset switch on the entire franchise. Sony Pictures CEO Tom Rothman confirmed during an interview with entertainment podcast The Town that the studio’s universe of movies about Spider-Man characters and villains will be rebooted.
