The Spider-Man web has never looked so attractive. While Sony Pictures' projects around the Spider-Man universe continue to develop with Venom , Morbius , Madame Webb , Silver Sable or even Black Cat, Deadline has discovered that another project is in production. This time, Olivia Wilde is in charge.
The actress, who has become a director for a few years, has entered into an agreement with Sony Pictures and Marvel to produce and develop a film project around a female character in the universe of Spidey. If the character in question remains secret, the rumors seem to have set their sights on Spider-Woman and seem to have not been mistaken in view of the reaction of Olivia Wilde on social networks.

Spider-Woman is a superheroine who first appeared in comics in the 1970s as Jessica Drew. Other strong female characters also wore the costume, including the famous Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane Watson. As to which protagonist was chosen by the director, the mysteries remain.
Olivia Wilde has surrounded herself with Katie Silberman in writing and Amy Pascal in production. A team that already knows each other well since they are currently working together on a film project at Universal Studio. The director has also almost let the project, which has become a priority since the beginning of the year, pass for the sake of scheduling. But the idea of launching her own superheroine on the big screen seems to have been too strong.
