10 More Movie Spin-Offs You Didn’t Know Were Coming
6. A Jackpot Movie
Our final Sony superhero-related entry now and, for fans of this character, we guess you could say they hit the... Jackpot.
Sara Ehret first took on the mantle of Jackpot after being exposed to a virus that gave her superhuman strength. The character isn't anything we haven't seen before in term of powers, but the hook lies in Ehret's desire not to be a superhero and return to her normal life as a new mother.
This film wasn't included in the earlier rundown of Sony projects, because it hasn't been given an official release date yet.
In 2020, it was announced that Marc Guggenheim had been hired to write a script for the picture. Guggenheim is a big name in comic book media - literally, look how many letters there are - having created the TV shows Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow. He also wrote the screenplay for that Green Lantern movie, but don't hold that against him.
With Guggenheim at the helm, hopefully Jackpot can be the one to buck the trend of the SSU. We just have no idea when it's coming, although hopefully we won't have to wait too much longer.
