Earlier today, Sony Pictures announced plans to release another untitled Marvel movie in 2021. Now, a new rumour claims that a
Spider-Woman solo movie is in the works at the studio.
Female characters do appear to be a priority for Sony as it's previously been reported that Madame Web, Black Cat, Silver Sable, and Jackpot are all heroes who they want to bring to the big screen at some point. Spider-Woman, however, would definitely fill the void when it comes to a female superhero and she's definitely someone with a lot of storytelling potential.
Interestingly, it's believed that Jessica Drew is shared between Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures in the sense that the former could use her as a secret agent whereas the latter can make use of her moniker and abilities as Spider-Woman. This is similar to Quicksilver; both Marvel Studios and Fox used him but Kevin Feige and company couldn't address his mutant status.
We'll have to wait and see whether this pans out as it is just a rumour for now, and there are already a long list of SUMC (Spider-Man Universe of Marvel Characters) projects in development so there's no way of telling how much of a priority this one is.
