9 Big Predictions About Sony’s Spider-Man Universe
3. Spider-Woman Will Be The SpiderVerse's Hero
As the SpiderVerse's web grows and expands beyond two movies, Spider-Man's absence will weigh heavier.
The number of classic Venom, Black Cat and Silver Sable stories Sony is able to adapt will be limited, since many of them feature Spidey, while others may suffer on screen because of his omission.
Although the studio won't like to admit it, these characters are at their best when they're interacting with Spider-Man, and since he's busy in the MCU right now, somebody will need to deputise for him.
That somebody should be Spider-Woman. Sony originally planned to develop a female-focus Spidey spinoff before Amazing Spider-Man 2 bombed, and this is an idea it should absolutely revive.
This is a big opportunity for the studio to build on the recent success of Wonder Woman by bringing a popular superheroine to its own cinematic universe.
The original plan was to have Spider-Man cameo in the Sinister Six movie and some of the other spinoffs, but why not have Spider-Woman do this instead, as well as heading up her own movie?
