Summary
The box office triumph of both 2018’sSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verseand 2023’sSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Versewas yet another win for Marvel. Now, the studio appears to be eyeing another potentially significant project, this time focusing on Spider-Gwen.
The success of the animatedSpider-Versemovies inevitably points towards the eventual exploration of its characters in live-action. Now, it seems this speculation might be coming to fruition. A new rumor suggests that Marvel could be in the early stages of developing another female-led movie within theSpider-Manfranchise, this time centered around a character from theSpider-Verse.
A new project is reportedly in the works at Sony, according toa rumor from MyTimeToShineHshared on Twitter by @port4lnerd. The project is said to be in the early stages of development and will feature a female lead in theSpider-Manfranchise, specifically focusing onthe popular character Spider-Gwen. While no additional details are currently known, it is important to treat this rumor with caution until more information is confirmed.
The anticipation surroundingthe potential adaptation of Spider-Gwenfor the big screen is exciting, fueled by the character’s popularity within theSpider-Verse. However, amidst the excitement, there is skepticism. This is mostly fueled by the reception of theMadame Webmovie, once thought to be a game-changer for thefranchise. Initially,Madame Webwas set to be a transformative project, signaling the start of a new era where characters from theSpider-Manuniverse would finally get their own spotlight. Yet, when the movie hit theaters,it failed to perform as expected. Therefore, its performance not only disappointed fans but also cast a shadow of doubt over the feasibility of future projects focusing on female characters within theSpider-Mancanon. Despite the initial excitement and promise, many now view theMadame Webmovie’s misstep as a setback for any potential Spider-Women project.
Many fans argue that a live-action project focusing on Miles Morales should be a bigger priority. However, there has so far been no indication that there are any plans to introduce the popular character into live-action. Therefore, Sony may opt to explore another character from its expansive franchise. On a different note, the box-office success of both animatedSpider-Versemovies suggests that a standalone project for one of its characters could be another triumph for Sony.
BothSpider-Man: Into the Spider-VerseandSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Verseare now available on Netflix and HBO Max.
