Jared LetoвЂ™s Morbius was supposed to open this July but will now debut in March of next year. More importantly, Tom HardyвЂ™s Venom overcame years of dismissal to score an $80 million domestic debut on its way to $214 million domestic, $279 million in China and $854 million worldwide on a mere $90 million budget. Spider-Man: Far From Home was sold as an epilogue to Avengers: Endgame and earned $390 million/$1.128 billion on a $165 million budget, passing Skyfall ($1.108 billion) as SonyвЂ™s biggest global grosser. ThatвЂ™s one reason why Amazing Spider-Man 2 was a вЂњflopвЂќ at $709 million but the $170 million-budgeted Captain America: The Winter Soldier was a вЂњblockbusterвЂќ at $714 million in the same year. Spider-Man: Homecoming, featuring Tom Holland as a young Peter Parker palling around with Robert Downey Jr.вЂ™s Iron Man and the rest of the MCU, earned solid reviews and $334 million domestic/$881 million worldwide on a $175 million budget, which is frankly what the Amazing Spider-Man movies should have cost. Six years later, Sony seems to have discovered the gold at the end of the rainbow which they were pursuing with Marc WebbвЂ™s doomed Spider-Man reboot. Alas, when the film was met with mediocre reviews and shockingly poor domestic legs, it meant that A) audiences were not jazzed for The Amazing Spider-Man 3 and B) audiences were certainly not jazzed for various spin-off movies ( Venom, a young Aunt May spy flick, etc.). Moreover, the film pandered to the hardcore fan base by killing off its female lead (Emma StoneвЂ™s Gwen Stacey) which also removed both the new franchiseвЂ™s most popular character and the new seriesвЂ™ most unique element (the romantic chemistry between Garfield and Stone).

While the movie itself was mostly stand-alone, save for a needless subplot involving PeterвЂ™s dead parents and a mid-credits tease for a potential Sinister Six movie down the road, the marketing and in-studio expectations set the film up as a backdoor pilot for a whole new world of Spider-Man heroes and Spider-Man villains.
