It’s been known for a while that Sony wants to build its own comic book universe based around the Spider-man characters, with a new film coming each year. However they’ve already had to shuffle things around a little, pushing Amazing Spider-man 3, while pulling the villain based Sinister Six up to 2016.
There’s also a Venon movie (with current rumours suggesting it will be called Venom Carnage), but that film is currently undated.
It also appears that with Amazing Spider-man 2 not quite living up to expectations, Deadline says the studio is doing a complete revamp of their Spider-man universe plans, and that includes adding in a female led superhero movie, which will come out in 2017.
As yet there’s no news on who this character might be, although the suggestion is that Silver Sable, Black Cat, Stunner, Firestarter and Spider-Woman are likely contenders. With Black Cat – as played by Felicity Jones – already introduced in Spider-man, she’s the current frontrunner for the character that’s getting their own movie.
Lisa Joy Nolan has been hired to write the script.
