After a spokesperson from Sony revealed that the Aunt May solo movie was a silly rumour with “no validity whatsoever” I have been forced to question the fabric of reality and scary thoughts have popped into my head.

If that Aunt May rumour isn’t true then what else isn’t true? Maybe Sony aren’t planning a soft-reboot of the franchise1 yet again, maybe they will eventually debut Miles Morales on screen, perhaps the Venom Carnage movie isn’t dead?

It’s tough having so many paradigm shifting questions swimming around in your head because they’ve given me an epiphany. What if none of the rumours about Sony’s Spider-Man movie plans are true? What if the whole image of Sony bumbling about with their Spidey film slate has been constructed by misinformation and lies

What if the only information about the upcoming Spider-Man films that we can trust is from Sony themselves. That would mean that a Sinister Six and Venom Carnage movie are still happening, that would mean the female Spidey spin-off is still in the works. That would mean that Amazing Spider-Man 3 will probably still happen.

It would also, dare I say it, mean that Sony might actually know what they’re doing with the Spider-Man movies. I feel silly typing it, but it could actually be true. The reality of the situation might actually be different to what we’re being told by people who really don’t know what’s going on.

I think I need to lay down for a minute.
