Sony Reportedly Developing Animated R-Rated VENOM and SPIDER-WOMAN Spinoffs Following SPIDER-PUNK
Sony Pictures Animation is swinging deeper into the multiverse. Following the announcement of the Spider-Punk animated feature, now a new report says that Sony has even more Spider-Man spinoffs in the works, including a Spider-Woman project and a surprising R-rated animated Venom film.
With Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse set to hit theaters on June 25, 2027, it looks like Sony’s animated Spider-Verse universe is far from slowing down. According to industry scooper Daniel Richtman, “There’s also an animated Spider-Women and Venom films in development.”
Backing that up, @MyTimeToShineHello recently posted that “Sony is currently developing an animated Venom film.” This rumor was also reported over a year ago. Even more interesting, the animated Venom movie reportedly has Seth Rogen on board as a writer and producer.
Rogen’s involvement makes this project especially interesting as he’s already got a strong track record with adult comic book adaptations like Preacher, The Boys, Invincible, and The Boys Presents: Diabolical. This Venom spinoff is reportedly aiming for an R-rating, breaking away from the PG-13 tone of the Tom Hardy-led trilogy.
Rogen previously opened up about his hesitation to collaborate with major superhero studios, saying, “Honestly, probably fear… It’s mostly a fear of how would we plug into the system they have in place…we’re control freaks!” He added, “We’re the producers of this. So we dictated the system.”
This animated Venom film would follow Venom: The Last Dance (2024), which wrapped up Tom Hardy’s run as Eddie Brock. First appearing in The Amazing Spider-Man #300 back in 1988, the Venom symbiote has had a long history of bonding with different hosts, including Eddie Brock, Mac Gargan, Flash Thompson, and Dylan Brock.
As for the Spider-Woman spinoff, it’s been rumored for a while now but still hasn’t been officially confirmed by the studio. However, these latest developments suggest it might be gaining momentum behind the scenes.
Sony hasn’t revealed release dates or production timelines for either project yet, but with Spider-Punk already moving forward and Beyond the Spider-Verse on the calendar, the animated side of Sony’s Marvel universe is expanding fast.
More web-slinging adventures are definitely coming, and if these reports hold, fans are in for some seriously cool stories that push the Spider-Verse in bold new directions.
