With Spider-Man flying off the screens again and Jumanji being back as one of the crowd-pullers of the year, Sony Pictures Entertainment is giving a sign of a strong release for the year 2026. The upcoming releases from the Sony Pictures Entertainment slate are a sign of the filmmakers’ confidence with the big screen.
Having been consistent in 2025, Sony goes into 2026 with momentum fully on their side. The studio’s strength is not in their access to a particular genre or franchise, but in their willingness to be diverse. That philosophy is evident in a lineup that spans sci-fi spectacles, animation, horror, literary adaptations and superhero cinema.
