Without Peter Parker, Sony’s Spider-Man Universe is in dire need of assistance. While a third Venom movie is in the works, 2022’s Morbius ended up flopping. In 2024, Madame Web is also tanking financially and with critics, effectively showcasing that branding these characters away from Spider-Man hasn’t been working in the studio’s favor.Interestingly, Sony does have another chance to resuscitate this pocket of the Spider-Verse using a villain from Peter Parker’s rogue’s gallery. Though Kraven the Hunter is a slightly more popular villain that’s due to have a movie released later in 2024, there is still another Spider-Man villain more profitable than him. Sony’s lifeline lies with none other than Norman Osborn aka Green Goblin, who is a figurehead burning with potential.At best, A-list figures do help, as seen when Carnage was introduced in Venom2. Their war felt more like the comics, which helped bring in money and pave the way for a third outing. Sadly, Madame Web isn’t even a B-list character. Other than the 1990s cartoon, she hasn’t been that memorable in the Spider-Man comics, where readers connect more with characters like Morlun, Miles Morales, the Spider-Women, and many more. That’s not to say the creative risk with lesser-known characters can’t pay off, as the MCU has shown with the Guardians, and as the DCEU illustrated with John Cena’s Peacemaker.
