Marvel only have Spider-Man thought the sequel movie and Avengers 4, then Sony get the rights to make his films back. They clearly want to partner with Marvel and get some money, but Fiege isn't really up for all these spin offs, so Sony is looking to make the money anyway. Someone's going to get burned eventually. I don't think there's a way Sony doesn't renew the deal with Marvel. Homecoming was one of the few big successes they've had in a while.

Reboot the character again, with yet another person playing Peter? Get Andrew Garfield back? Tie him into their SpiderVerse movies? After how good Tom has been as Spidey? They've opened up a trap they're not going to get themselves out of easily, and honestly, the easiest thing is to just sell back the rights to Marvel/Disney. But they won't.

Hence why someone is going to get burned.
Sony are trying to be greedy and build a universe that either Marvel/Disney have to buy in to as well, or that they are going to end up without a Spider-Man for (or get a new one and risk fan acrimony).
When Marvel got the Spider-Man rights back, they should have made a further reaching deal regarding Sony's ability to do more stuff.
IMO, it's stuff like this that will burst the superhero bubble. Not crappy DC movies, but Sony doing stupid shit like this.
(Although, despite posting this, I'm there opening night for Morbius, love that guy)

Somehow, this is the least surprising news of the year.

If plasma is involved in the cult, then he's clearly getting into a character we might not want Sony to go any further with......
(Spidey '90s TAS reference there.)

I'm not trying to be a hater, but what has Jared Leto ever actually done to keep getting roles?
He was in a popular teen show that didn't even last a full season like 25 years ago, and then a dozen years ago his band was a one hit wonder. How does the guy get work?

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
And seriously someone explain to me why is Morbius getting a movie? He's not even C List when it comes to Spider Man Characters.

He was in a popular teen show that didn't even last a full season like 25 years ago, and then a dozen years ago his band was a one hit wonder. How does the guy get work? Dallas Buyers Club put him back on the map, dude won an Oscar off of that role. He's actually pretty talented, he's just a loon. And it looks like he could be a dangerous loon at that. I will say this, this all sounds like it's promotion for a new album, most cults don't come out and say that they're a cult right from the jump. But if that's the case, it's really unsettling to see him co-opt cults to promote his band. It's terrible optics in consideration all of the damage cults have done to people around the world, every one of them founded by charlatans who are just in it for money and girls. Then again, this might be a cult. Maybe we're at that tipping point where cults say they're flat out cults and people just go "Oh, ok, lol".

The whole cult thing reads like tongue in cheek promotional stuff.

Like the whole as the Joker I sent people used condoms! schtick it just makes me not want to watch, see, or associate with Leto in any way shape or form.

This is why they call my Nostradamus! >_> I mean... from a business stand point with FFH being Spidey's biggest movie ever... it doesn't make any sense to not agree to a deal really unless it's really terrible... but... still.

I feel like this is going to kill his acting career. People at Sony are probably furious with this guy. They're trying to use him to prop up an already misguided Spider-Verse movie no one asked for, and now he's out here broadcasting to the world that he's a cult leader and "prophet". Yikes.
