Although fans might have to wait until 2021 for “Morbius” and “Venom 2″ to hit the big screen, it seems that Sony is adding growth to its Marvel list. According to a new report, the company is working with Veteran T.V. director S.J. Clarkson. He has been signed on to develop the first female-centric movie from Sony’s catalog of Marvel characters.
Characters Of The Movie
As per a report, it’s not confirmed who will be the starring character. Also, there is a high probability that film will be based on the Madame Web comic-book character. The insider even confirmed that there is no writer attached to the Clarkson project, nor a star attached to lead the movie. Sources say that there is a possibility that the studio is focusing on an A-list actor joining. And then hire a writer to develop film with them.
However, the possible stars for the project could be Charlie Theron and Amy Adams, as per insider reports. But no one has committed or even met for the part yet. Well, these are interesting potential casting as Madame Web is typically seen as older women. Moreover, there are chances they could take on the character differently. According to sources, “the project could turn into something else.”
The storyline of Madame Webcomics
In the comic Madame, Web is described as an older woman suffering from myasthenia gravis and thus connects to a life support system look similar to a spider web. On account of her age and illness, Madame Web never physically fought any villains. However, if the movie continues to focus on character and stay real to comics, we could see different comic book stories we’re used to seeing onscreen.
Can This Comic Based Film Be a Success
Either way, empowering women in Sony Marvel Cinematic Universe has always been a priority for the studio. It is giving a list of strong female characters that appear in these comics throughout the years. Unknown when the production work will start. But getting Clarkson on the project was the first step inching towards a green light for the project. This will not be Clarkson’s first time directing a Marvel movie.
