Unsurprisingly, Sony Pictures' slate of Spider-Man-adjacent spin-offs remains on hold, and it sounds like that's led to the studio scrapping plans for a project revolving around Knull, God of Symbiotes...
To add to the “fatigue” you also have DC not helping out much either. Sony was definitely bottom barrel but even DC struggled at times to fill it even half way. (And sometimes they were absolutely garbage too.)
I think there was for a time a feeling that at least with Marvel you’d get something great. However when even they’re just ok the whole field starts to look empty.
I think that’s partially why Captain America Brave New World, despite being the worse film, generally did about the same as Thunderbolts. If a film is just going to be “ok” it should at least have some familiar faces.
I just love seeing all the books from my childhood coming to life on the big screen, and being able to talk to friends about comic book nerd stuff. Marvel, at the very least, has been respectful of the source material and given the filmmakers resources to create an interconnected universe. I don’t care if they make a few stinkers as long as they keep trying to make better movies.
Sony and DC both have transparently disrespected the source material and the fans. They have made bad decisions about how to bring those comics to life, and created films that were inexcusably bad.
DC at least makes me hopeful with the new Superman trailers, but I’ll reserve judgement until I actually see it.
