Venom’s Success has been a major boost

While things continue to solidify on Sony’a movie side, former Hulu exec Mike Hopkins has been charged to boost Sony’s presence on TV. As per Hopkins, Sony is about to reveal its first ever TV show featuring a property owned by Marvel.

“We’re developing a lot of Marvel-related content, and I think we’ll be out in the market very soon with something really, really big and transformational for us, because we’ve not done any shows with Marvel before, with Marvel IP,” Hopkins revealed. “So that’s a big piece of development that we’re onto.”

“I think we aspire to have several shows in a universe that we create that can pollinate between each other, and to working with a partner to make that happen,” he added.

We don’t know what shows Sony has in mind, but with the immense success of Venom, Sony has all the right reasons to build a Cinematic Universe.
