\"\"Sony must be reasonably sure Spider-Man: Homecoming <\/strong>will be a smash success, because it is going full throttle with spin-off films based on its Spider-Man license. Coming hot on the heels of the announcement that Tom Hardy would be playing Venom<\/a>, we have news of a director being chosen for the Silver Sable\/Black Cat film, Silver and Black<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Hollywood Reporter is claiming that Love & Basketball <\/strong>director Gina Price-Bythewood has been hired to direct the spin-off, female centric film. Production is scheduled to begin this fall.<\/p>\n

Well, maybe spin-off will turn out to be the wrong word. As with Venom, we have characters that are defined by their relationship to Spider-Man who won’t likely have a pre-existing relationship to the web-head before their film starts. Now, Silver Sable can stand alone from Spider-Man–she actually carried her own comic book series for a number of years–but most of Black Cat’s character development came from being the store-brand Catwoman to Spider-Man. Neither will likely appear in a Spider-Man film to establish a relationship with the character. Kind of hard to have a shared universe if none of the characters share screen time.<\/p>\n

Price-Bythewood is no stranger to Spider-Man related Marvel properties. She is directing the pilot for the Freeform\u00a0Cloak & Dagger\u00a0<\/strong>TV series that is set to debut in 2018. Those characters first appeared in the pages of Spectacular Spider-Man<\/strong> and appeared in many adventures with him.\u00a0Price-Bythewood’s last feature film was 2014’s Beyond the Lights<\/strong>, which she wrote and directed.<\/p>\n

There is no word when Silver and Black <\/strong>will reach theaters and no movement on casting has been seen. However, if production is set to begin this fall, that information will be soon to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
