🚨 Leaked contract details say Sony Pictures must release a Spider-Man or related movie roughly every 5.5 years. If they fail the rights revert to Marvel Studios / The Walt Disney.
This is why Sony keeps making weird Spider-Man spin-offs like Kraven: The Hunter, Morbius and Madame Web, even though they flop.
Under its agreement with Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios (now under The Walt Disney Company), Sony has strict production “clocks” tied to the Spider-Man film rights.
Sony must generally release a new Spider-Man-related film within about 5 years and 9 months of the previous one.
They typically must begin production within roughly 3 years and 9 months of the last release.
If Sony releases three films within eight consecutive years, they can extend the timeline — up to five years to start production and seven years to release the next film.
What counts: Live-action films, animated projects, and even spin-offs featuring characters from the Spider-Man “basket of rights” can reset the clock.
If Sony fails to meet these milestones, the film rights revert entirely back to Marvel and Disney.
