I'd prefer a new, decently-budgeted R-rated Vampirella film to just about anything else right now.
There's just as much "evidence" that Marvel's putting out a Black Widow movie as there is that Sony is putting out a female led entry, more even as the rumor mongering has the Widow movie in early early development whereas Sony is supposedly still just mulling it over. And the fact that it's allegedly competing with a Venom spin off? I somehow find it HIGHLY doubtful the Sony is going to put their eggs into Black Cat or Silver Sable's basket as opposed to Venom, ESPECIALLY if they're hard hit for a big Cape movie. Even if they do decide to greenlight both which do you think is getting the focus in budget, casting, directing, editing, etc?
Edit: Basically Sony is in the weakest position of the three studios making Marvel Movies and have the rights to the fewest amount of major lead characters, I'm very skeptical of them being the first studio to take a chance and even if they do of it turning out particularly well.

"Our spiderman movie didn't do as well as expected, what should we do?"
"Let's do a spin off to our movie that didn't do well!"
"Brilliant idea Johnson! Now let's go smash our heads against the wall and drink gasoline whilst playing with lighters!"
Or here's another possibility:
"Ok Johnson, our last movie didn't as well as expected."
"Well sir, let's not completely panic and try and change EVERYTING. That'd just make it worse."
"Ok, so what do we do."
"Let's push TASM 3 back a few years, so we have time to address the problems that were in the second film."
"Good idea Johnson."
"And since one of the big complaints was that things were rushed and not built up enough, let's make some of those spinoff movies first. That way we can introduce people to these characters and make things seem more organic."
"Genius Johnson, let's do it."
Actually, I'd kind of rather her than Black Cat, who I've never really liked, myself. The seductress thing, and just not being good for Peter and all. Not that I'd be against her getting her own film, though. Who knows what they'd do with it, that I, or others, who might not otherwise be fond of her, would like.
Hopefully this is true, but action 'hero' wise, I can only really think of Spider-Woman - and women -, Black Cat and Silver Sable, off the top of my head, but maybe there's someone I'm not thinking of.
Jean DeWolff would be another, a cop/crime film, dealing with different layers of her life and character, how she deals with super crime, a superhero day to day, and whether or not they go with the 616 vesion, a more tragic, or sympathetic one, or the darker, yet still interesting shade.
which female characters and/or metas does sony actually have?
