In this day and age, it is not unusual to have studios spin a buzz-worthy movie into a series of sequels and spin-offs before the original film even hits theaters. But the problems Warner Brothers are having with the DC Extended Universe should be a cautionary tale against that when you are dealing with superheros. It’s also a lesson Sony should know as well, but it isn’t stopping them from expanding the\u00a0Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse<\/strong> film.<\/p>\n The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> and Deadline<\/a> are reporting that that film, which hits theaters on December 14th, will be getting an animated sequel and a female-centric spinoff. The sequel will be directed by animation veteran Joaquim Dos Santos and written by Wonder Woman 1984<\/strong>‘s David Callaham, The spin-off is in the hands of another animation veteran, director Lauren Montgomery and writer Bek Smith.<\/p>\n After that, very little is known about the projects at this time. The sequel will most likely be set up by Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse<\/strong>‘s ending, so we should more about what the sequel entails then.<\/p>\n As for the spin-off, Deadline states it “will focus on three generations of women with Spidey powers. The Hollywood Reporter states that one of those three generations will be Spider-Gwen, who appears in\u00a0Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse<\/strong>. They also list Spider-Woman, Madame Web, Spider-Girl and Silk as being candidates for the spinoff.<\/p>\n You can get a description of Spider-Gwen, Spider-Girl and Silk here<\/a>. Spider-Woman was rumored to be part of the Silver and Black <\/strong>spin-off before that film was sent back to the drawing board. I briefly covered her backstory here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Madame Web is a blind, elderly psychic who would often help Spider-Man out with his adventures. If this will be a generational saga, she’d be the most likely the oldest generation in the mix.<\/p>\n There was a “Spider-Women” crossover in the comic books which ran in 2016 that featured Spider-Woman, Spider-Gwen and Silk fighting an evil version of Silk from Spider-Gwen’s Earth. That is also a possibility for an adaption, but it doesn’t really lend itself to a generational saga.<\/p>\n More on this as it develops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
