RUMOR MILL: Sony Pictures Might Be Eyeing Some Huge Names For Black Cat And Spider-Gwen Roles

We have two big rumours to share with you today, and if there's so much as a grain of truth to them, we could see a couple of big name stars playing Spider-Gwen and Black Cat in Sony's Spider-Man Universe.

In "Rumor Mill," we share the hard to buy rumours that don't come from reliable sources like the trades, but are still more believable (just) than what you might find on Reddit. 

Over the holiday weekend, Giant Freakin Robot ran a report claiming that The Queen's Gambit and The New Mutants star Anya Taylor-Joy is being eyed for the role of Felicia Hardy/Black Cat in Sony's Spider-Man Universe. The site has had some lucky guesses in the past, but isn't exactly the most reliable of sources for news. 

However, adding some believability to this report is Reddit leaker @MyTimeToShineH, who has since claimed that there is truth to the story. That doesn't mean we buy it, of course, but there's no denying that Taylor-Joy would be a perfect choice to bring the cat burglar to life on screen. It's thought that Sony is developing a solo movie for Black Cat after the Silver Sable team-up, Silver & Black, fell apart. Most fans, however, would rather see Felicia cross paths with Tom Holland's Peter Parker.

Another hard to believe claim from the Christmas period is that Sony is hoping Emma Stone will play a live-action Spider-Gwen for them. Once again backed up by the leaker who revealed so many details about Spider-Man: No Way Home, we're definitely struggling to buy this one as legitimate. 

Why? Well, Spider-Gwen is a teenager in the comic books and Stone - who did a superb job playing Gwen Stacy in The Amazing Spider-Man movie - is currently 33-years-old. 

As always, we'll see what happens, but it's best not to get too excited about these rumours just yet.

I was actually thinking of Anya for the MCU's Black Cat.

And maybe we can get a Last Night in Soho reunion and have Thomasin McKenzie as the MCU's Spider-Gwen?

@MUTO123 - bring it on! looks fantastic as Gwen!

Hmm yes please, in fine with her also playing Spider Gwen

Anya should be MCU Black Cat
Menks123
Menks123 - 12/27/2021, 3:11 PM
If it's for the MCU, then yes.

If just a Sonyverse? Run away Anya. Run far away.

MUTO123 - 12/27/2021, 3:12 PM
@Menks123 - Anya's way too talented and too good a casting choice for that character for her to be wasting her time in a [frick]ing Sony-verse movie.

DannRamm113 - 12/27/2021, 3:15 PM
@MUTO123 - spiderverse has some great actors in it, obviously the pitches are always great.

Plus Anya can’t get worse than New Mutants
Menks123
Menks123 - 12/27/2021, 3:16 PM
@MUTO123 - Yup.
MUTO123
MUTO123 - 12/27/2021, 3:16 PM
@DannRamm113 - OK, let me be a little more specific:

Anya's way too talented and too good a casting choice for that character for her to be wasting her time in a [frick]ing VENOM-verse movie.

@DannRamm113 - I like her in new mutants unlike colosus and Natasha black widow she had Russian accent

@DannRamm113 - She was awesome in New Mutants. Imo the movie wasn’t good but wasn’t terrible either. Her as Magik was the best part of it

Perfect casting

Or combine Spider-Gwen with TASM3

The Emma Stone thing is 100% BS, and they are not jumping to Spider-Gwen when she already has an animated franchise (same with Miles).
Gwen Stacy will be the next love interest for Peter in college.

About Felicia, they are probably looking for a big name...a shame Felicity Jones never got the chance to play her, and she is too old to play a love interest for Holland's Peter.

@TheHumanSpider2 - Emma Watson?
VictorAlonzo
VictorAlonzo - 12/27/2021, 11:57 PM
@TheHumanSpider2 - I'm thinking she may be a bit older than Peter. Gives a good reeason why she's so "seasoned" in the art of charm manipulation.
TheHumanSpider2
TheHumanSpider2 - 12/28/2021, 8:18 AM
@SonOfAGif - Yeah, sorry, got them mixed.

@VictorAlonzo - That...could actually work

@TheHumanSpider2 - you’re heavily out of touch with reality if you don’t think both Spider Gwen and Miles are directly around the live action corner
TheHumanSpider2
TheHumanSpider2 - 12/28/2021, 12:56 PM
@McMurdo - Wanna bet?
McMurdo
McMurdo - 1/2/2022, 8:40 AM
@TheHumanSpider2 - absolutely I’ll bet the farm

Anya for Black Cat in the MCU please! Somebody better call Feige and tell him to tackle down Amy or something.

Giant Freaking Robot is giant freaking clickbait. They’re the new We Got This Covered.

Mytimetoshine though? Been pretty on the money so..

God I [frick]ing hate Spider-Gwen

Christ! No spider-gwen. Not everyone needs to be a spider person. They ruined a beautiful tragic love story by doing that.
TheLobster

Agree with everyone else: if this is for the MCU Spidey films then hell yeah but the SonyVerse? Run the hell away Anya!!!

I wouldn’t mind Anya as Black Cat as long she is given great material to work with and if it’s tied to the MCU rather than SMU. I still would like her to reprise the role of Magik in the MCU X-Men. She was the only good thing about The New Mutants.

My personal choice for the role of Felicia Hardy/Black Cat is Sydney Sweeney.



TheLobster
TheLobster - 12/27/2021, 3:21 PM
@MovieMonster - Sydney is gorgeous and I actually would be down with this casting!
DTor91
DTor91 - 12/27/2021, 3:29 PM
@MovieMonster - My personal choice too. Love Anya, but I’d rather more fresh faces and Anya has blown up big time lately. Plus if there’s any change of some of the Fox characters pulling through, I still think she’s great for Magik. That film was certainly not her fault.

@MovieMonster - Sweeney is my top choice for Felicia as well. I love ATJ, but I feel like her Black Cat would come off as an overt copy of Catwoman. Plus, on a more base level, Sweeney has the, er, natural gifts to traditionally fill out the costume.

VictorAlonzo - 12/27/2021, 11:58 PM
@MovieMonster - 😳 jackp🤑t!!!
