When the Marvel Cinematic Universe first started, Marvel Studios had rights to only some of the heroes that we’ve met on Marvel Comics pages. The studio did a great job with the Avengers but couldn’t count on Fantastic Four, X-Men, and Deadpool to join the franchise until Disney purchased Fox in 2019. Sony, which held the rights to Spider-Man and characters related to him, made a deal with Disney that put Spider-Man in the MCU, but they didn’t want to give those rights fully; Sony wanted to create its own cinematic universe based on Marvel characters.

That idea resulted in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (SSU), which so far spawned two Venom movies starring Tom Hardy and the Morbius movie starring Jared Leto. While Venom movies were met with mixed reception, Morbius received very negative reviews, and it was a box office bomb. Still, Sony announced that they aren’t planning to stop with their own Marvel franchise. So now, we can expect Kraven the Hunter, Madame Web, Venom 3, and El Muerto.

DanielRPK, who is known for providing rumored updates on Marvel movies that are in development, recently shared on Reddit that the upcoming El Muerto movie is reportedly set to begin production this Fall in Los Angeles. Ever since the movie was announced, there haven’t been any updates on the production, but if this one is true, that means that the movie definitely will not be finished before its planned release date — January 12, 2024. So, expect some delays.

The El Muerto movie was announced at Sony’s panel at CinemaCon in April 2022, with Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, better known as Bad Bunny, set to star. Jonás Cuarón, who wrote and directed the recent Netflix movie Chupa, was hired to direct Chupa. Why did Sony choose this character to give him a solo movie out of all the characters they have rights to? It’s unknown.

The next movie in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, Kraven the Hunter, is set to be released on October 6, 2023. Avengers: Age of Ultron star Aaron Taylor-Johnson plays the main role, and J. C. Chandor is the director.

Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
