How does that prevent them doing Spiderwoman instead of Madame Web?
Madame Web, go-go Marvel Fatigue!

You mean you actually expect Sony to make a good decision when it comes to these movies.

I was going to say that Spider-Woman started as a cartoon, rather than a comic, so there's a visible wall between Peter and Jessica, but that's wrong.
Stan Lee trademarked a lot of names just to stop skuzzballs from putting their feet in his bathwater.
DC took them to court over how Wonder man was a cheap ploy to steal celebrity from Wonder Woman.
So Stan trade marked all the dumb girl versions of their super cool boy super heroes, even though zero work had been to develop those characters past just and only their name.
Marvel did sell Spider-Woman (my spell check is sexist, I keep writing "Woman" and it sex changes the word into "Man" again and again and again.) to Sony in 1998, but Marvel retained the rights to use Jessica Drew as a non spider person civilian. Sometimes Jessica is a Private Dick.
Isas Rae, a woman of colour, played a pregnant Spider-Woman of colour, credited a Jessica Drew, in Across the Spider-Verse last year, which certainly means that when she gives birth, that she will give birth to 300 skittering cannibal spider babies.
Not part of your question, but Sony was working on another female spider person tv show about Silk, which was abruptly canceled last week when Madame Web fizzled out.

Good question, I don't know, but they've only made like 2.5 Spiderman games. The Miles Morales game is more like a standalone expansion to the first game.
Not sure that would be a good idea. But maybe putting said character in some of these movies would work.
Series 1 dropped a year ago, adapted from a novel called "Fat Vampire" staring Jacob Batalon.

Sorry, how old are Reynolds and Jackman?
How old were they when they started? They may be stern enough to struggle on even as their bodies continues to seep their humours, but it's nice to see geriatrics prove science wrong, like how John Henry had a Heart attack while fighting a donkey engine.
Ryan started trying to get the first movie off the ground in 2005 when he was 29.
Hugh Jackman was 32 in 2000 for X1 and claimed that he had retired the character after Logan in 2017.
Neither are fat Americans with purifed cheese Burgers for blood, and neither were picked by the studio, so it's oranges and apples.

That "Miss Leading" joke is epic.
"Let's cast one of the most famously busty young women in Hollywood, in a role famous for its form-fitting costume, and only feature her in said costume for a few moments in the dark, and have her wear plain, everyday garb for the rest of her screen time!"
Brilliant filmmaking/marketing synergy, Sony; no notes.

Don't forget the tried and true "She's supposed to be awkward so make her wear glasses" thing...
I don't think anyone really knows or cares about the Madame character. Spider-Gwen though I think has maybe developed some interest form people because of the Miles Morales movies.
Oh, there were. Before Across the Spider-Verse came out, there were a lots of the usual right-wing grifters who complained the movie was woke. But then it turned out to be successful, and their slogan is "Go woke, go broke", so since it was successful, it could not be woke, therefore the complaints stopped and they shifted towards a different subject.
