SPIDER-WOMAN Director Olivia Wilde Offers Cryptic Response When Asked About Her Marvel Movie

Don't Worry Darling director Olivia Wilde has responded to reports that she will take the helm of a Spider-Woman movie, praising Marvel's (we're assuming she means Sony) approach to hiring filmmakers.

It's been some time since we first heard that Olivia Wilde had been tapped to take the helm of a Spider-Woman movie for Sony Pictures. We're assuming the project is still happening, with the belief being that one of the many actors to have joined Madame Web will eventually suit up as the hero. 

Whatever Sony is plotting, it's wise for their Marvel Universe to have a Spider-Woman instead of a Spider-Man, especially if Tom Holland's Peter Parker is going to remain part of the MCU.

Talking to Variety, Wilde was asked about her mystery Marvel project, but refused to give anything away. "That, I can’t say a word about. Yeah, no - I can’t say anything about it," the actor and filmmaker tells the trade. "I have to bury myself in the couch now [Laughs]."

"I will say that I think the Marvel approach of allowing newer filmmakers to come into the fold and have access to those tools of the Marvel universe is incredibly exciting. I am a big fan of what they’re doing over there," Wilde continues. "But, yeah, I can’t confirm whether that is what that is...but that would be cool."

Once again, it feels like this is someone mistaking Sony Pictures' Universe of Marvel Characters for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Thus far, Sony hasn't enlisted any newer filmmakers for these projects, so here's hoping Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach haven't fooled Wilde into thinking she's joining a world that's better than it actually is (and that she's seen Morbius).

As for Spider-Woman, we'd love to see Jessica Drew brought to the big screen, though the character is set to appear in next year's Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.

Who do you think should play this character in this world? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments section.

Which spider-woman are they going with? Jessica, Julia or even Cindy aka Silk? Either way I like Olivia and she’s a great director.

I forgot this was even a thing. Oh and The Samaritan was a terrible movie.

Why are we doubting who she works for? I think she would know who she had talks with. Sure, Sony so far has made some mediocre live-action Spider-manless Spider-Man movies, but that doesn't mean they're conning people into working with them

I watched Prey recently so then I finally watched the Predator right after, and that movie sucked so bad, even Tom Jane and Boyd Holbrook sucked on that movie, Olivia too, the only one that was ok was Peele, but of course he basically played himself. I loved that Gary busey’s son was on it, and man the ending did lead up to a good follow up, but it probably would’ve sucked. Prey was the right choice.

@ElvenKingSlayer - I thought it was Olivia O’ Lovely, Don’t look her up, pretty sure she’s this boring homely fiction writer or the like

There seems to be a negative online presence brewing when it comes to this woman.


I see alot of comments that she is fighting with Florence P who she just directed and that she destroyed her family by having an affair with styles who she also just directed. People are saying she even looks like amber heard 😐....


Is any of this true?😕
