Sony Reportedly Planning Female-Led Marvel Superhero Movie for 2017

[Biff Pow!]

Unfortunately, I smell McG nearby.

McG probably appreciates someone remembering him.

I don't see it succeeding.
Sad to say.

How? We don't even know what it will be or who is involved.

Well done Sony.

[Legato]

Well done Sony.

Agreed. Don't know about anyone else but I hope GOTG's success also inspires DC to take a chance on lesser known characters. Would be a refreshing change from constant Superman/Batman films

Well the chances of a Shazam movie look really promising right now (The Rock has all but confirmed that he's either playing Shazam or Black Adam). So that's a good start.

Hoping it's Black Adam but regardless Captain Marvel(Shazam) is way overdue for a film adaptation.

Hacked Sony emails published in the press have also suggested that female heroines are considered a risky bet by the studios.

In an exchange with Sony Pictures Entertainment head Michael Lynton, Marvel boss Ike Perlmutter recalled that Catwoman, a key character in the Batman world, was a "disaster" when played by Halle Berry on the big screen in 2004.

But Reynoso says she hopes things are changing.

"Even the small roles that women have now are coming out more than during the 1980s" she says, adding that studios like Marvel are taking their time to make films properly.

In action or sci-film films, heroines have made more of a breakthrough. Charlize Theron scored a critical and box-office hit in the role of Furiosa in "Mad Max: Fury Road".

A preference for Black Cat, or uncertainty for the Sinister Six film?

Sony has lots to pick from, they also tie into lots of anime and video game property, Fullmetal Alchemist, Darkstalkers, Tomb Raider, Dead Space there is a lot they can pick from

Marc Guggenheim is gonna do a spec script for "Jackpot". Id be more curious if she's a version of Mary Jane Watson but Sara could be interesting. He's practically creating a new character which is what a lot of the D-listers are gonna be.

Granted its a common screenwriting excersize but i dont know if it would pay off yet.

[Hypestyle]

my suggestion for Jackpot is to have her be Zendaya's Michelle Jones. She already has a following that can boost the character, especially if the point is to create crossover opportunities.

Let me know when they do Mayday Parker on the big screen.

[Will Evans]

Let me know when they do Mayday Parker on the big screen.

Possibly in Into The Spiderverse 2

There was going to be a Cloak and Dagger tv show, but it never got made. Which sucked. Cause I was looking forward to it.

It got two seasons.
