Sony Pictures CEO Tom Rothman has officially confirmed plans for a fresh reboot of the live-action Spider-Verse (aka Sony's Spider-Man Universe). Following major underperformers like Morbius, Madame Web, and the biggest flop Kraven the Hunter (plus the Venom trilogy's mixed results), Rothman said "Yes" to returning to the universe and "Yes" to it being a clean reboot with new talent and direction. With Sony now prioritizing the animated Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse and the MCU-tied Spider-Man: Brand New Day starring Tom Holland, this shift aims to reset after producer issues and fan/critic backlash. Could Phil Lord and Christopher Miller or fresh voices lead the charge? Rothman hints at valuing scarcity to build hype.Warner Bros. Discovery Reviewing Paramount's Sweetened Bid Amid Netflix Merger
Big corporate drama: Warner Bros. Discovery's board is officially evaluating a revised, sweetened takeover offer from Paramount Skydance (backed by David Ellison), even as their $82.7 billion merger deal with Netflix remains in place. Paramount's updated proposal includes a higher valuation (previously around $30/share with ticking increases) and a commitment to cover Netflix's $2.8 billion termination fee if WBD switches sides. WBD continues recommending the Netflix deal to shareholders (vote set for March 20), but the review could spark a bidding war. What does this mean for HBO, DC Studios, Warner Bros. Pictures, CNN, TNT, and more?
