New Spider-Man Spin Off Featuring Female Character


Sony has seen success with The Amazing Spider-Man franchise, so their announcement to push the third instalment back to 2018 came as a surprise. It is known that Sony is working on a film adaptation of The Sinister Six, a team of Spidey’s most notorious villains that will be headed by Drew Goddard of Cabin in the Woods fame. Now EW has broken new news and confirmed that Sony is working on a Spider-Man spin off featuring a female lead.

While there is no clue as to which character will be the star, there are many characters in the Spider-verse to choose from. Jessica Drew’s Spider-Woman is an obvious choice; she is recognizable and has a storied history and has crossed over with most characters in the Marvel Universe, she is a dynamic and memorable hero and would make a great movie.

It’s more likely that any female-centered Spider-Man spin off would feature Felicia Hardy, also known as the Black Cat. Hardy appeared in a limited capacity in Amazing Spider-Man 2, as Harry Osborne’s assistant, and that small glimpse of her existence may point to bigger things. The Black Cat is a cat burglar who is a sometimes friend and sometimes foe to Spidey, and has a world of personality; she would be the centre of a very exciting movie. What do you guys think? Let us know in the comments.
