The current president of Sony Pictures, Tony Vinciquerra, participated in an interview to talk about his time at the company he is about to leave. Here he talked a little about the universe of Spider-Man villain movies that in all of its installments had a very negative reception.
When asked about his opinion of these films, the still president of Sony Pictures blamed critics for their poor performance. He does not believe they are bad films and insists that critics crucified his films when they did not deserve it, which caused people not to go see them. He even shared evidence that this is the case.
Vinciquerra mentioned two examples in the form of Madame Web and the first Venom film. The film starring Dakota Johnson had a poor reception from critics and a terrible box office, but it had a large audience on Netflix. On the other hand, the first Venom also had a very poor critical reception, but it was a box office success that prompted a trilogy.

It should be noted that, of all the films that Sony Pictures released in this attempt at a Spider-Man film universe without him, none had really good reviews. On the Rotten Tomatoes site you can see that the ‘best’ with 58% was Venom: Let There Be Carnage, while the worst was precisely Madame Web with 11%. Did you see any?
What is Sony Pictures planning with its Spider-Man movies?
Although the president of Sony Pictures does not believe that they are bad films, he indicated that they do not plan to make more films from this universe either. That’s because, according to him, it doesn’t matter if it’s good or bad, critics will destroy it and it won’t perform well at the box office.
In fact, the recently released Kraven could be the one that puts the final nail in this coffin. Well, Vincequerra indicated that it is the worst launch of a film that he has seen in his 7 years as the head of this division. So it’s quite likely that we won’t see any more Spider-Man villains in the movies.
