Before the novel coronavirus pandemic brought Hollywood to a screeching halt, one of the more intriguing storylines for fans of comic book films was the future of the Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters (SPUMC). Sony made it clear that Spider-Man wasn’t long for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Venom was the beginning of the studio’s renewed dedication to bringing the characters whose rights it controlled to the silver screen.
Both Morbius and a sequel to Venom had been confirmed prior to the pandemic, but on Wednesday, a Variety report revealed that another movie is currently in the works, and TV director S.J. Clarkson has been chosen to develop the secret project. All we know is that the movie will focus on a female character — a first for the SPUMC.
