Olivia Wilde to direct possible Spider-Woman movie at Sony

[Jello Biafra]

Sony Pictures is not only growing its slate of its Universe of Marvel Characters but is building on the female characters at the center of it, and looks to have landed one of the sought female directors in Hollywood. Sources tell Deadline that Olivia Wilde has closed a deal to direct and develop a secret Marvel film project revolving around a female character in the universe. While not confirmed, it is expected that the story will be centered on Spider-Woman.

Sony had no comment.

The film will be penned by Katie Silberman with Amy Pascal producing. Rachel O’Connor will exec produce.

Wilde, Silberman and Pascal already have strong ties and the three are working on a Christmas buddy film at Universal they hope to do prior to this one. Gary Spinelli penned a previous draft of the script.

This could be cool

BOOKSMART was really good so if Wilde gets someone to help her with action scenes I could see this being OK.

I wonder which Spider-woman will they use?

I wonder which Spider-woman will they use?

Most likely Jessica Drew since she's been the main Spider-Woman in the comics for a while.

They need to cast Alexandria Daddario for the part too. She physically is perfect for the role if its Jessica Drew.

I think she was lumped in with the Spider-Man rights. Sony has rights to around 900 Marvel characters that have a connection to Spider-Man.

At the time Marvel was broke and pretty much handed Sony rights to anyone who popped up in Spider-Man's books regularly as well as anyone with "Spider" in their name.

Plus Spider-Man has a shyt ton of lame super-villains like The Banjo, Typeface, The Kangaroo and Big Wheel to name just a few.
