The idea of ​​taking Spider-Woman to the cinema began to sound at the beginning of this year, when Sony Pictures announced a new film of its particular cinematic Spiderverse for 2021, a film that would share the universe with other films such as Venom or the delayed Venom 2 and Morbius and who knows if also as part of the UCM, since Kevin Feige himself, director of Marvel Studios, has already shown his interest in the past in the character of Spider-Woman and the possible connections between universes, as he left us glimpse the Morbius trailer.
Be that as it may, this new spider film is not expected to finally be released in 2021 due to production delays due to the current global coronavirus crisis.
