Earlier tonight, we found out that actress turned director Olivia Wilde (Booksmart) had signed on to helm a mysterious female-centric Marvel movie for Sony Pictures. Though unconfirmed, the untitled project was believed to be Spider-Woman, and Wilde now appears to have made it official.

The Tron: Legacy star sent out the following Tweet shortly after the news broke. She doesn't mention the character by name, but that Spider emoji should leave little doubt.

Several different characters have assumed the identity of Spider-Woman over the years, and despite the initial report indicating that Wilde - who will also co-write the film with Katie Silberman - may introduce a brand new hero to take up the mantle, our money is on Jessica Drew.

Previous rumors have suggested that Sony may be looking into developing a spinoff focusing on the original (and best?) incarnation of Spider-Woman, which makes her the most likely candidate.

Plus, Marvel just sent out this Tweet! Coincidence? Maybe...

What do you guys make of these Tweets? Let us know in the usual place.

I honestly know nothing about Spider-Woman. Other than the fact she really has nothing to do with Spider-Man.

@KWilly
lol, same.
Somehow, i managed to completely avoid the character without even really trying... :P
I actually read more about Eternals than Spider-Woman.

Will this be MCU or Spidermanless cinematic universe.

If its the later, I guess it could give the universe a proper lead.

If it works, hopefully they go with the classic look, have seen pics of her more modern suits


Yeah kind of bland, nothing about it says superhero

@GothamSon - she'd honestly be perfect to play Jessica Drew.

Hopefully this doesnt get her fired. Asa Butterfield came really close to playing spiderman, then He started talking about it and they gave it to holland

I don't hate it.

However, the only thing I've seen that she has directed is this:



Of course we've all seen her act. But can she direct?

@L0RDbuckethead - Check out Booksmart; she can direct.

I don't think I've seen any of Wilde's work as a director. Think of it I haven't seen her much outside of House, in which I LOVED her.

@RageDriver2401 - It's not extensive yet, but give Booksmart a look.

Congrats to Wilde! Love her!😍 Was hoping DC would snatch her up first. I'm sure she'll crush it with Spider-Woman. Booksmart was great.

is she starring too? I see that she co-wrote and will direct...but with the mention of Jessica Drew, I like the idea of Daisy Ridley donning the mask. Not my idea, saw it online looking for Jessica Drew's 1990s costume*

How does Sony even own Spider-Woman?

@adamcawa - Marvel and Sony both share the rights to Spider-Woman, it was in the Marvel-Sony contract that got leaked back in 2014 during the Sony hack.

Though if Jessica appears in the MCU, she cant be Spider-Woman, only Sony gets to use her as Spider-Woman
