Contenders for a Female-Lead Spider-Man Movie Spinoff

Felicia is the only real choice in my mind. She's the only one with any notoriety, and she's a very independent character who has been given plenty of spotlight in the Spidey comics.

Second best choice is probably Spider-Woman. She's relatively unknown, but that gives writers more flexibility with her origin and overall story in my opinion than it does with more well known characters like Captain America or Spidey. Perhaps she would be a logical choice with her new ongoing launching soon, and launch both a film and book.

I hope Sony realizes that they suck and sells their rights back to Marvel/Disney. Even though I know it won't happen. ;(

I'll guarantee right now the movie will bomb.

Well, I don't think it's going to be Spider-Gwen, since from what we see, the Spidey Cinematic Universe wants to show classic Friends and Foes. Based on that premise, my bet is on either Black Cat or Silver Sable.

Or maybe Sony wants to take the risk and introduce Silk earlier. But if this is so, then there is no guarantee that it won't be Spider-Gwen's movies. But still, they have to announce Spider-Verse first.

Then again, sometimes we can't really guess who's going to be in the films lately.

I saw this elsewhere, it's definitely going to be Black Cat. An executive confirmed it.

Spider-Woman is, to the best of my knowledge, NOT part of the Spider-Man film rights. Thank goodness, because Sony's Spider-Man movies have been utter garbage that has ZERO respect for the characters or the audience.

Spider-Woman, Spider-Girl, or nothing.

Black Cat is a terrible choice obviously, since she's literally just Catwoman.

BC

Yeah I'm pretty sure Spider-Woman is Marvel Studios owned. Black Cat is probably the best choice for a film since they might want to make it before DC ever tries another Catwoman film.

Black Cat and Silver Sable would be great solo choices.

Spider-Gwen and Silk would probably need to be introduced or hinted to in a Spidey film.

Now way Sony has the rights to Jessica Drew

These characters can't carry their own movies.

Spider Gwen! Because...she looks awesome?

Unfortunatelly it's gonna be Black Cat......unfortunatelly,for the company that's handling her,not for the character.

Honestly not interested in any of these characters. I'm hoping for other options.

Should be Black Cat. We need a good female feline movie. Previous "catwomen" were awful. Anne Hathaway's was best, but not as good as the character should have been.

out of these i think a silver sable movie could work , bunch of merc running around blowing up stuff ? sure why not !

Let Marvel have all the rights back, from Spidey to the X-men to the FF. Then we can do all this "solo female movie" stuff. That way mythos won't clash and crash.

I'm positive it's going to be Black Cat. I don't think there's any question that the rights to Jessica Drew most-likely lie with Marvel, not Sony. The only connection the two characters have is from Ultimate Spider-Man where a female clone of Peter called herself Jessica Drew, but that's hardly a Quicksilver/Scarlet Witch situation. If Sony tries for a Jessica Drew movie, they'd have a massive uphill battle to prove that she's part of the Spidey rights. Fox would actually have more of a claim to Drew's rights, since she's spent more time in X-Men comics than in Spider-Man.

Julia Carpenter had a slightly stronger connection to Spidey, but that mostly came about later in her career when she became the new Madame Web. The only Spider-Woman Sony could really make an airtight case for is Mattie Franklin, but I doubt they'd want to make a movie about a teenage girl with spider-powers, because that's not enough to differentiate her from Peter.

A Mayday Spider-Girl movie is also unlikely since Sony wants to build its own little universe, and doing a movie set in the future wouldn't really work with that. That also means we won't be seeing any Spider-Gwen movies set in an alternate universe.

The Anya Corazon Spider-Girl is more likely than Mayday, but once again there's the problem with a movie based on Mattie Franklin—not really enough there to differentiate her from Spider-Man. The mystic background of her powers would help, but I doubt Sony wants to go down that route.

This makes Black Cat the most likely candidate. Sony knows they've already got the rights. They've already had Felicity Jones play a pre-BC Felicia in ASM2 so the casting is done, and this allows it to tie into ASM2. A Black Cat movie could also be potentially cheaper to produce than a Spider-Woman/Spider-Girl picture, plus she's got enough to differentiate herself from Spidey. Black Cat for the win, IMO.

THIS^^

I think it's going to be a straight forward Spider-Girl or Spider-Woman (not Jessica Drew) based on Silk's origin but the character herself either. Sony/Marvel and FOX/Marvel have no problem destroying the mythos whereas Disney/Marvel will try not to $#!* on your childhood unless it's necessary.

Hell, go all out. Super tangentially related Cloak and Dagger movie.

I can't wait for this movie if it's about Jessica or Felicia. Two of my all time favorite characters. :)

If they go with Spider-Woman it probably won't be Jessica Drew but Julia Carpenter. Though her origins aren't connected to the Spiderman mythos, she's the current Madame Web and participated in both Grim Hunt and Spider-Island.

Likewise we could also see Anya Corazon appear as Spider-Girl.

I doubt we'll see Black Cat get her own movie - she's too easily mistaken for Catwoman. I remember seeing that happen when people were speculating what Hathaway's costume would look like.

Black cat and Spider-Woman with spider man as a supporting character

Or you know Sony is scraping the barrel into keeping the rights so they'll put anything out there they think will make money. I really doubt Marvel wants to create characters so Sony can keep the rights.

Wasn't it already confirmed to be Black Cat? Thought I read that somewhere.

I would love to see Spider-Girl.(Mayday) in film. Black Cat or Spider-Woman would be fine too.

Silver Sable or nothing

I'm just glad we're getting a female hero, even if it is a C list character. After all, C-listers are often some of the best, even if people don't realize it.

Spider-Woman would be a good choice or Black Cat

I couldn't care less but I'll say my piece anyway. It will most likely be Black Cat, since she's already been introduced in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Spider-Woman has really nothing to do with Spider-Man, the only thing similar is their name. It would be next to impossible to make a decent Spider-Woman movie with Sony because they legally couldn't even mention Hydra, which is where she originated before becoming an Avenger. She belongs with Marvel Studios and the Avengers, she is on their roster in the comics. However, if they decided to use the Ultimate Spider-Woman, that would work, but I don't see that happening. It depends though, I don't think it's very clear who has the rights to Jessica Drew, I'm hoping Marvel Studios does though...

Having said this, I will agree that the rights should go back to Marvel. I'd be more interested in this if this move from Sony didn't seem like a desperate attempt at staying relevant with the comic book movies that are coming out. Seems like with the talk of Marvel getting a Black Widow film or Captain Marvel, and WB getting ready for a Wonder Woman flick, they felt like they had to have their own input or get left behind.

So, I think it'll end up being Black Cat but then again...who really cares? Please just give the rights back to Marvel who will do the characters justice.

If its Silk then that PROVES she was created for the sole purpose of being put into the movies and cartoons like everything else marvel has been doing for years

Firestar is indeed an ambiguous character. Like Tony said, she's a mutant, so Fox can use her. She's more linked to New Warriors and Avengers, than X-Men, making her available for Marvel. And Ultimate Firestar is Liz Allan, who is a Spider-Man supporting character, making that incarnation available to Sony.

Jessica Drew, while the best known Spider-Woman, isn't the only one out there. You have Mattie Franklin, for example (who is more linked to Spider-Man. She was a fan of his, started her career out posing as him and she's the niece of Jameson's late wife). No idea, what the deal is with Julia Carpenter.

And while Mayday is off the table, I could see them going with April (Mayhem). Her origin could be reworked so she's the product of Peter's DNA, combined with some girl's and a piece of the Venom symbiote. All three merged and produced a teenage girl, calling herself "April Parker".

Black Cat, Spider-Woman, and Silver Sable would all be great choices for a solo film. Each is certainly better than the baffling idea of a Sinister Six movie.

It will probably be Black Cat and I could care less. Come back to MARVEL SPIDEY!!!!!!!!!!

What we need is no damned tears "hnik-hnik" like in Hich Voltage. That part of film was disgusting.

Jessica Drew and hopefully never with Sony pictures. Best bet would be black cat but maybe they should concentrate on getting Spider man right.

Eh

I always liked Black Cat, but I don't know if she should have her on spin-off movie. As long as it's not like Catwoman.
