Movies that you never "got"?

After the first 5 or so years of being exclusively a Spider-Man villain, Venom has had a pretty long career in comics independent of Spidey....... he's had many comics of his own where Spidey doesn't appear etc... so has Morbius, though he wasn't ever nearly as popular or successful a solo act as Venom.

Kraven, though... isn't much outside of Spider-Man comics....... and Madame Web isn't much even in Spider-Man comics. Those were particularly perplexing choices for solo flicks. If they wanted a female vehicle, Sony could have done a Black Cat movie or a Silver Sable movie... both of them are actual "things" in comics and the former has a particularly big following... or a Spider-Woman movie (one of the Spider-Women is in MADAME WEB in a supporting role... maybe Sony just wasn't allowed to use the name in a title).

I mean, yeah, I can agree about Venom, so I could give that one a pass.

Still would've liked some interactions of some kind, even a cameo. Madame Web was used a bit on the 90s tv series.

I'm not sure how long we're getting Spider-Man in the MCU. There's a fourth film in the works and two more Avengers coming in the next year or two. I'd assume it's done after that?

Tom Holland will eventually retire as Peter Parker but there are plans to introduce "Miles Morales" from the animated films in the live-action universe, probably through the next AVENGERS multiverse-hopping film, and then we will get live-action Spider-Miles movies for as long as they make money, or Spider-Gwen, or Penny (?) Parker, who is Peter's Spider-Daughter from some alternate dimension. Disney won't abandon a character as long as they pay dividends.......

I love Miles Morales, so I'd dig it if they do that.

There was the clone storyline back in the 90s, and Ben Reilly was Spider-Man for a bit with a pretty decent costume upgrade. I don't think they'd adapt it, but I'd settle for an animated series.

Silver Sable and Black Cat (together as a team) was one of the movies Sony had up in the air before it decided to just stop doing Spider-man spinoffs.

Peni Parker is actually an alternate universe Peter Parker ... from a universe where he/she's an anime girl that pilots a giant robot.  The entire cast of Evangelion can be seen in the backgrounds as her classmates in the comics. 

May "Mayday" Parker is the alternate reality/possible future daughter of Spider-man from a world where Spider-man lost his leg in a battle with the Green Goblin and was forced into retirement.  Spider-girl's comic series lasted over 100 issues, making it the lost female lead Marvel series EVER. 

Sorry.  Huge comic nerd.  I'll shut up now.
