Disney, Sony, and Marvel what they are doing with Every Spider-Verse Movie. This is a question from fans after Spider-Man Leaving The MCU. Extraordinarily, Sony claims the film rights to in excess of 900 Marvel Comics characters — a whole laundry rundown of Spider-Man properties that the studio intends to turn off into their own cinematic universe. Here’s the story behind each motion picture got ready for Sony’s Spider-Verse.
Spider-Woman
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was particularly noteworthy for spotlighting a biracial teensuperhero in Miles Morales alongside a stand-out female lead in Gwen Stacy. And now the latter is set to get her own animated spinoff. Before Into the Spider-Verse hit theaters.
Sony announced that it had started work ona film about three generations of Spider women. Spider-Gwen will return from the first movie, assisted in her adventures by another Spider-Woman, Jessica Drew, and Silk like Every Spider-Verse Movie. Sony has hired Bek Smith to pen the screenplay and DC animation veteran Lauren Montgomeryto direct, but more details have yet to be confirmed.
Black Cat
Felicia Hardy, also known as the Black Cat, has been a recurring foe and romantic interestfor Peter Parker ever since her first appearance in Amazing Spider-Man issue 194. A notorious cat burglar, Black Cat has the power to manipulate the powers of probabilityand luck.
She made a brief, out-of-costume appearance in Amazing Spider-Man 2, but hasn’t yet beenseen suited up on the big screen. Initially, Sony announced that Black Cat would be getting a team-up movie with fellow occasionalSpider-Man ally Silver Sable. Tentatively titled Silver and Black and set to be directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, Sonypulled the project from its release calendar in 2018, in favor of solo movies for the twoheroes.
According to Variety, Prince-Bythewood will “likely” no longer direct but will stay onas a producer for both individual movies. As for her replacement, all that’s been reported is that Sony really wants to go for a femaledirector.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is a truly special movie. It won an Oscar for Best Animated Feature, outranked every other Spider-Man movie onRotten Tomatoes, and earned nearly $200 million at the domestic box office. The world clearly wants more trips through time and space with Miles Morales and hisfriends — and, luckily, a sequel is indeed in the works.
Sony announced big plans for the animated sector of its Marvel slate in November 2018, before Into the Spider-Verse had even hit theaters. Avatar: The Last Airbender veteran Joaquim Dos Santos has signed on to direct the film, with Wonder Woman 1984 and Zombieland 2 writer David Callaham handling the script like Every Spider-Verse Movie. “That’s all, folks. Is he allowed to say that? Legally?
Silver Sable
The other half of the canceled Silver and Black project, Silver Sable is also headedto the movies with her own announced solo film. When she first showed up in Amazing Spider-Man #265, Silver Sable appeared about as ’80sas you could get without actually starting a glam-pop band.
She’s an assassin and mercenary from Eastern Europe who wields guns, knives, and variousother accouterments with deadly accuracy. Like many characters in the Spider-Man mythos, she also changes allegiances pretty frequently, acting as both friend and foe to the friendly neighborhood wall-crawler.
This is another project with few details to report at the moment, as there have been real hints as to anyone who might be involved — apart from Gina Prince-Bythewood’s position as a producer.
Morbius
While attempting to fix himself of a fatal blood issue, researcher Michael Morbiusmanages to incidentally science himself into turning into a vampire. Utilizing his logical mastery and his recently obtained exhibit of heavenly controls, thecharacter rapidly discovered some accomplishment as a tormented screw-up, battling his desire for bloodwhile bringing vampiric equity to the night.
First reported in 2017, generation on Morbius started in February 2019. Executive Daniel Espinosa will coordinate from content by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, the innovative personalities behind Netflix’s ongoing Lost in Space reboot and 2014’s Dracula Untold. Every Spider-Verse Movie. Oscar victor Jared Leto stars as the murderous hero, while Matt Smith co-stars ashis companion and individual vampire Loxias Crown. Morbius hits cinemas on July 31st, 2020.
Kraven the Hunter
Kraven the Hunter first popped up in Amazing Spider-Man 15 all the way back in 1964. In fact, he goes back so far that he was even a member of the original Sinister Six, makinghim the oldest Marvel character currently projected to get his own Spider-Verse movie.
A Russian expat with a unique flair for clothes made out of lion faces, Kraven is a big gamehunter obsessed with proving that he can kill anything — and, in particular, Spider-Man. “Where do all these guys come from?”Unfortunately, backstory on the character is just about all we have on Sony’s Kraventhe Hunter movie. Not a lot is known about the upcoming film adaptation, except that The Equalizer 2 andJack Reacher: Never Go Back writer Richard Wenk was hired to write the script back inAugust 2018.
A couple of months later, Wenk teased a very special appearance in the film, claiming inan interview with Discussing Film that Kraven will come face-to-face with Spider-Man himself.
Venom 2
The main passage in Sony’s intricate arrangement for an interconnected universe of Spider-Man-basedfilms was 2018 blockbuster Venom. Spider-Verse Movie. Commentators were part on the nature of this genuinely odd film, which frequently played like a dark befuddled mate parody in which the two jobs were played by a similar person at the same time.
Progressively critical to Sony, in any case, is the way that Venom earned $850 million at the worldwidebox office. “All things considered, you know, I intend to please. “Filmgoers plainly have a hunger for Venom, so normally the character will return inVenom 2. Also, that probably won’t be the part of the arrangement. Star Tom Hardy referenced in 2018 that he’s contracted for an entire set of three of Venom motion pictures. Then, Venom screenwriter Jeff Pinkner affirmed to Discussing Film in December thathe was at that point at work on the subsequent portion.
What’s more, in August 2019, Andy Serkis joined to coordinate. With respect to the discharge date, Venom 2 is almost certain to be the baffling “untitled Marvel sequel” that Sony has penciled in for October 2020, precisely two years after the introduction of the first film.
Silk, Jackpot and Nightwatch
Sony isn’t just planning on bringing the heavy-hitters to their Spider-Verse, though — they’ve also got plans for some of Marvel’s more obscure Spider-Man characters. Cindy Moon has actually appeared briefly in the MCU, but her comic alter-ego Silk hasyet to be explored on film.
In the comics, a retcon explained that Cindy was bitten by the same radioactive spideras Peter and ended up with very similar powers. Little development has been reported on the project, aside from the major announcementin 2018 that longtime Sony producer and Spider-properties shepherd Amy Pascal was attached to produce.
Pascal’s 2019 departure from the company, however, has thrown the project into doubt. Then you’ve got Jackpot: a scientist, mom, and all-around super-strong crimefightingboss. This is the Spider-Verse Movie. The details behind the purported Jackpot movie are pretty mysterious, with Sony still in the process of finding a screenwriter to take on, so it’s safe to assume it’ll be a while before Jackpot hits theaters.
Finally, there’s a rumor swirling around that Spike Lee is in line to direct Sonyl’s upcomingNightwatch movie, with Luke Cage showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker said to be a top candidatefor writing duties — but that’s about all anyone knows about that one, too.
