on 'Thor' writer working on Black Cat/Silver Sable Spider-Man spinoff for Sony

Just a week after we learned that Sony was moving forward with a Venom movie, we now know of another Spider-Man spinoff that they’re working on.

The Hollywood Reporter says that Sony has hired Thor: The Dark World writer Chris Yost to work on a script for a movie featuring Black Cat and Silver Sable. Yost is working off of a previous script from Lisa Joy, the co-creator of HBO’s Westworld.

Sony hopes to find a director soon so that they can start shooting by this fall. Matt Tolmach and Amy Pascal are producing the movie, which was previously known as the “secret female spinoff project.”

Like Venom, this Black Cat/Silver Sable movie will not be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’ll be set in Sony’s own universe.

    I have no idea why Sony thinks people want this. This just means Venom, Silver Sable and Black Cat are unlikely to appear in the MCU. I can understand wanting to make the most out of the Spider-Man property away from the MCU which is with Disney. But this doesn’t seem ideal.

      That’s not entirely true, as I’m sure that characters that have been used in Sony movies aren’t prohibited from being used in MCU movies. Dunno why Marvel would sign a deal like that, nearly all of his main villains would be gone.

        I’m saying it seems unlike that Sony would want two different versions of Venom or Black Cat for example, on the big screen. It would probably confuse audience members if the same character is in the MCU and Sony’s movies, likely played by different actors.

    I enjoyed Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, but Thor 2 was a tad underwhelming.
