8 Spider-Man Movies Sony Should Be Making Instead Of Venom

6) Silk

Another female Spider-Man related character who deserves their own film is Silk. A pretty recent addition to Spider-Man lore in the comics, Cindy Moon was bitten by the same spider that bit Peter. However, she was then locked up in a bunker for years and experimented on – until she finally got out and became a hero in her own right.

While Silk is tied to Spidey in the comics, it would be very easy to remove Peter from the equation and just have her mirror the familiar bitten-by-spider origin story. The element of her being incarcerated for years would also be a really interesting addition to explore, as would her search for her family when she gets out. That certainly sounds like enough dramatic mileage for a standalone movie to us.

Before the Marvel deal, Sony were apparently looking to make some female-led Spider-verse movies. If they still are, Silk would be a great, often overlooked, character to tackle instead of Venom.
