Spider-Woman: 10 Things You Need To Know Before Her Movie

10. Olivia Wilde Is Going To Be In The Director's Chair

Perhaps best known for starring in House and TRON: Legacy, Olivia Wilde has made an impact behind the camera in recent years, kicking off her career as a director with Booksmart last year. The critically acclaimed teen comedy saw her win the Independent Spirit Award for Best First Feature, and it was widely praised for its depiction of young, female characters.

Sony Pictures clearly sees a lot of potential in Wilde as a director because Spider-Woman is going to be a considerably bigger project than Booksmart, and it's now down to the actress turned director to prove she has what it takes to be in charge of a blockbuster.

With psychological thriller Don't Worry Darling starring Florence Pugh, Chris Pine and Shia LaBeouf next up for Wilde, she's clearly intent on making an impact as a director, and is set to pen the screenplay for Spider-Woman with Booksmart writing partner Katie Silberman. Based on that alone, it seems likely this will be a deeper look at Jessica Drew than what Venom delivered with Eddie Brock.
