SPIDER-WOMAN's Three Leads Have Been Revealed For The SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE Spinoff
We recently learned that Sony Pictures is developing a Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse spinoff focusing on a number of female spider heroes. Now, the movie's three female leads have been revealed.
Last month, we learned that Sony Pictures has started developing a Spider-Woman spinoff movie which will accompany a Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse sequel. At the time, most of us assumed that it would revolve around Jessica Drew but if you've seen the animated Spidey adventure, you'll be aware that (just like in the comics) Spider-Gwen is referred to as "Spider-Woman" there.
Well, it now seems as if we're getting the best of three worlds because producer Amy Pascal has confirmed that the movie - which is being written by Bek Smith - will focus on Spider-Gwen, Cindy Moon/Silk, and Jessica Drew/Spider-Woman.
While a live-action Silk movie remains in development, this will be a completely separate version of the character and this trio has embarked on quite a few adventures together in the source material.
"I think it’s great that we’re going to be able to tell movies about female superheroes in this realm, and in the live-action realm as well, because I believe that there are going to be characters that really resonate for people," Pascal explains. "They’re funny and quirky and different, and heroic in all kinds of different ways that only animation allows you to do."
It's said that this female-led spinoff will arrive after the Into the Spider-Verse sequel, so we're clearly going to be waiting quite some time for it. With it now confirmed that movie will focus on Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy, don't be surprised if Cindy and Jessica first appear there.
