Opening box-office estimates for Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures’ “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” keep rising, projections for the movie’s domestic debut now sitting around the $260 million mark in some places around a week before its debut.

There’s no question this remains one of the most bankable franchises on the planet, and Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige tells Chinese outlet Watching Hollywood (via Weibo) that the future of their partnership remains strong and they’re already talking about doing several more Spider-Man movies.

They’re also talking about introducing Miles Morales into the MCU once the “Spider-Verse” films wrap with “Beyond the Spider-Verse” opening next year:

“One of the fun things in this business is that we’re always dreaming and coming up with all kinds of ideas. There’s a line in ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ where Electro says: ‘Somewhere there’s bound to be a black Spider-Man.’ Audiences around the world were thrilled because they knew this might be a reference to Spider-Man Miles.

The good news is that Sony has the ‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’ film series, which are beloved and excellent, and ‘Beyond the Spider-Verse’ is coming out next year. But yes, we definitely have plans (for a live-action Miles) and I think a live-action Spider-Man movie has this destiny: to add Miles sometime after the Spider-Verse series ends.

We’ve been thinking and discussing more Spider-Man adventures, regardless of agreements or contracts. My production partner, Amy Pascal, is already working on it, and we’ve had in-depth discussions about what the next two, three, four, or five Spider-Man movies might be about.”

Sony head Tom Rothman ended the Sonyverse of Spider-Man spin-off characters after a string of critical and box-office failures like “Madame Web” and “Kraven The Hunter”. More of those aren’t expected.
