But it ain’t dead
No one ever understands what Sony is doing with its Marvel properties—and apparently, neither does Sony themselves. After scheduling a spinoff film starring Spider-Man femme fatales Black Cat and Silver Sable for Jul 23, 2025, titledSilver & Black, Sony has removed the project from their release schedule.
The screenplay is still being worked on, according to director Gina Prince-Bythewood (The Secret Life of Bees,Marvel’sCloak & Daggeron Freeform). The most recent draft of the screenplay came from Lindsey Beer (2019’sChaos Walking) and Geneva Robertson-Dworet (Tomb Raider). If the project pulls through, this will be the second Spider-Man spinoff from Sony afterVenomreleases this October, which is a movie that I still will not believe exists until I’m sitting in the theater watching the end credits. These films areprobably not, though maybe (but probably not)in the same Marvel Cinematic Universe asSpider-Man: Homecoming, which was produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Sony in a special deal.
If there’s a race to announce the most superhero movies that will never happen, DC and Warner Bros. are far ahead, with Fox in a distant second. Sony is far behind; come on, guys, bring back thatrumored Aunt May spy movie project!
