Sony's Spider-Man Universe

Sony's Spider-Man Universe (SSU) is an American media franchise. It is set in a fictional universe with the setting of several superhero movies and television shows made by Sony, based on characters by Marvel Comics. 

The franchise's movies that have released are Venom (2018) and Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021), starring Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock / Venom, Morbius (2022), starring Jared Leto as Dr. Michael Morbius, and Madame Web (2024), starring Dakota Johnson as Cassandra Webb. Hardy will return as Brock and Venom in Venom: The Last Dance (2024), the last movie of the Venom trilogy. Another SSU movie was released in 2024, Kraven the Hunter, starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Sergei Kravinoff / Kraven. The franchise will also have TV series, starting with Spider-Noir, starring Nicolas Cage as Spider-Man Noir, returning from the Spider-Verse movies. More movies and series are in development.

The franchise is connected to Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), because Tom Holland's Peter Parker / Spider-Man appears in Let There Be Carnage, while Hardy returns as his role in Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021). The franchise is also connected to the Spider-Verse movies, because Peggy Lu returns as Mrs. Chen in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023).

Venom, Morbius, and Madame Web have negative reviews, while Let There Be Carnage has mixed reviews. All four movies have made $1.630 billion, but Morbius and Madame Web were box-office bombs.
