  • Deadline reports that Sony Pictures Animation is in early development on an animated spin-off centered on Hobie Brown, aka Spider-Punk.
  • Reports indicate Oscar winner Daniel Kaluuya and screenwriter Ajon Singh are co-writing the feature, with Kaluuya expected—but not confirmed—to return as the voice of the punk-rock variant.
  • Plot details remain tightly under wraps, with no other deals in place or confirmed release date at this stage.
