Sony Pictures secretly enlisted Phil Lord and Chris Miller to create animated Spider-Man stories for the big screen. Eager to boost their Marvel projects without relying on Disney, Sony committed to a five-year deal with the duo, giving them the chance to build a Spider-Man universe for television. However, the pandemic, the 2023 strikes, and other commitments—including their upcoming film, Project Hail Mary—caused delays. Now, Spider-Noir is finally set to premiere, ending a long gap since CBS cancelled The Amazing Spider-Man, even though it had good viewership.
