Sony Pictures is not just growing its masterpiece of its own Universe of Marvel Characters but is building on the female characters at the middle of it, and seems to have landed among those hunted female directors in Hollywood. Sources tell Deadline that Olivia Wilde has closed a deal to guide and create a secret Marvel film job revolving around a female character in the universe. While not supported, it is anticipated that the story will be based on Spider-Woman.
The movie will be written by Katie Silberman with Amy Pascal producing. Rachel O'Connor will exec produce.
Wilde, Silberman and Pascal have strong connections and the three are still operating on a Christmas buddy picture at Universal they expect to perform prior to this one. Gary Spinelli penned a former draft of this script.
The Spider-Woman character has actually been the alter ego of several characters in the Spider-Man timeline over the years such as Gwen Stacy, Mary Jane Watson and Jessica Drew, who was the first to sport the costume in the late 1970s. Considering that the idea has been completely revamped by Wilde, it is unknown the direction the studio will proceed with her.
The project was a high priority because the cover of the year and Wilde came close to death it as her dance has begun to fill up fairly quickly. At the end of the afternoon, the idea of getting a chance to start her very own female superhero was too difficult to pass up, and she eventually came around to completely committing to the project.
This marks the next movie based on a female persona in Sony's world of Marvel characters to property a manager after S.J. Clarkson was tapped to lead a Madame Webb film. Sony is also developing Black Cat and Silver Sable films and is obviously making the attempt to diversify the world.
Around the business, more and more feminine filmmakers are getting their shot at directing big-budget comic book films.
It's been quite the year and half for Wilde, who after spending the past decade as an A-list actress decided to make her go to directing with the coming-of-age narrative Booksmart. The film was one of the past year's best reviewed films and earned Silberman a WGA nomination for best original screenplay.
She would follow up that by attaching herself to the psychological thriller Do not stress Darling, which finally landed at New Line following among the more heated bidding wars of 2019. That film set Florence Pugh, Chris Pine, Shia LaBeouf and Dakota Johnson to celebrity and will take this fall.
Wilde is repped by CAA, Untitled Entertainment and Ziffren Brittenham.
