For the past several years, Sony’s attempt of crafting their cinematic universe revolving around Spider-Man characters hasn’t worked out quite well for the studio. But their upcomingMadame Webmovie, starring theEuphoriastar Sydney Sweeney, can be the movie to put their struggling universe on the correct track.
Following Sony’s releases, includingVenomand its sequel, which were fun in their own manner, andMorbius, which was a colossal failure, it’s obvious that Sony is struggling from the lack of a central force. But considering thatMadame Webwill be reportedly introducing Sweeney as Spider-Woman, it can be the perfect character to fill Spider-Man’s vacancy in Sony’s cinematic universe.

Sony might be looking past Tom Holland and Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man
Even though Sony previously tried to bringTom Holland’sSpider-Man into their cinematic universe, which eventually didn’t end up going their way, it seems that Sony is looking past the Web-Head. Following Sony’s bold choice of releasing aMadame Webmovie, it seems likely that the studio might take the difficult decision to move forward from the character of Spider-Man in their universe.
Although after the return of Andrew Garfield inSpider-Man: No Way Home,there were speculations regarding his entry into Sony’s cinematic universe. Considering thatMadame Webwill be reportedly introducing Sydney Sweeney as Spider-Woman, Garfield’s return in the role seems unlikely, as Sony may aim to make Sweeney’s character the central figure of their universe.
Considering that Tom Holland is sticking with the MCU for his fourthSpider-Maninstallment. Sydney Sweeney’s Spider-Woman might be key to Sony’s success in crafting a cinematic universe and differentiating them from its MCU counterpart.

Sydney Sweeney’s alleged Spider-Woman might be the key to Sony’s success
One of the main reasons behind Sony’s struggle in crafting a cohesive universe revolving around Spider-Man’s villains is the lack of a central figure and an opposing force in the form of Spider-Man. But even though we might not see the web-slinger in Sony’s universe for a while, Sydney Sweeney’s reported Spider-Woman can fill up the vacant space in the universe.
Considering that MCU is already moving forward with the fourthSpider-Maninstallment, involving Tom Holland. Sony can differentiate itself from the MCU by introducing Spider-Woman as the central figure for their universe and can provide a different viewpoint on the Web-slinger’s lore.
