It has been reported that there are up to 18 projects in development for the officially named Sony's Spider-Man Universe. Previously it was revealed in the "Sony Hack" that the company had control of approximately 1,400 characters, supporting characters and teams. This feature, along with the Spider-Verse and Symbiotes categories are an attempt to trim the whole down to the most reasonable characters that Sony owns who could appear in future films and television. 🎁 To help support the continued development of Key Collector, utilize the convenient eBay links provided on the app for any purchase at no additional cost to you.
