The Wrap has learned that Robert Orci has been tapped to write a Spider-Man spin-off film that will be part of the universe that Sony is in the process of building. The film joins the Tom Hardy led Venom, along with its upcoming sequel, as well as Morbius: The Living Vampire, which will star Jared Leto.

Further details are few and far between, but this is par for the course with films at this stage of development. Which character the film will focus on is, unfortunately, one of those elusive details not yet known.

Some of you may remember that Orci was a co-writer on The Amazing Spider-Man 2, though he has been involved either as a writer or producer on many notable projects including the television series Fringe, Alias, and Limitless. As far as the big screen, he penned the most recent Star Trek films (uncredited on the third adventure), the first Transformers film and its sequel, Revenge of the Fallen.

With properties such as The Sinister Six, Kraven the Hunter, Black Cat, Silver Sable, reportedly being in development, Sony does have the means to make their own kickass universe, whether or not it thrives will of course depend on the execution of said films. Unfortunately, Sony is hit or miss with the properties of which they own the rights
