Sony Pictures plans to make the most of the Spider-Man character and that implies both continuing to maintain its collaboration with Marvel (despite the initial scare) and exploring other protagonists of its universe. He has already demonstrated it with Venom and now he goes one step further with none other than Spider-Woman . The one responsible for bringing this story to fruition? Well, none other than the talented Olivia Wilde. This is what we know.
Spider-Woman, next from Sony
There is life beyond Spider-Man and Sony knows it well. The Sony Corporation subsidiary film production company has, as you well know, the rights to Spider-Man for years and that has allowed it to launch a good number of films (some with more success than others) about this great Marvel character.
Now he wants to broaden his horizons by searching for a film with the female version of the hero as the protagonist. This was stated by Deadline, a fairly reliable American medium in this type of news, a few hours ago, pointing out that the project is on the table and that it will have Olivia Wilde as director.
Well, to be rigorous, exactly what this publication claimed was that Wilde had accepted Sony’s proposal to direct an upcoming film about a female Marvel character , but, of course, with these data it was more than logical to think that it was Spider -Woman. To finish confirming the rumor, the director herself has retweeted the Deadline exclusive today , using the emoticon of a spider on her official Twitter account. White and bottled?

The film will be written by Katie Silberman with Amy Pascal serving as producer and Rachel O’Connor serving as executive producer. A female team, led by the actress and nobel director Olivia Wilde (surely you remember her from House), who will be in charge of bringing this character to the big screen with which it is hoped to attract all Spider-Man fans – who they are not few.
Spider Woman also exists
Among the many Marvel characters we find an important variety of heroines. It is true that the number is not as large as that of men and they have never enjoyed the same impact, but little by little women are gaining position in comics and especially in cinema.
Black Widow, Captain Marvel, Scarlet Witch … these are just some of the names of the factory that have a growing popularity today and could soon join the Spider-Woman team .
This superhero from the (late) 70s is named Jessica Drew and she first appeared in # 2 of Marvel Spotlight. Her story is not exactly like that of Spider-Man: daughter of a wealthy family thanks to the discovery and use of uranium in their technological laboratories, she ends up being injected with a solution with spider blood precisely after falling seriously ill from exposure to uranium . The experiment does not go well, it is put in a genetic accelerator and then cryogenized for decades. When she is finally awakened from her slumber, Jessica discovered that she had various supernatural abilities.
With everything still so far away, it is impossible to even know the plot or from what point or how the story of Spider Woman will be approached. Be that as it may, what is clear is that we will have to wait: for now we still have “Spiderman: Homesick” pending – this is how they say the third film in the saga is called – and see how we solve the pandemic that still surrounds us . Patience.
