9 Female Superheroes That Should Get Their Own Films

The hype for Wonder Woman is real. Not only is it an important film for the DCEU, but it's also a pivotal point for future female superheroes on the big screen. If it does well, we could be receiving even more female-led blockbusters. If not, well, you know how Hollywood works. Hopefully, come June 2nd, we'll be discussing the beginning of a new era of superheroines and not the latter.

If Silver Sable and Black Cat can be included in Sony’s proposed Spiderverse, then surely a Spider-Woman film can be, too. Yes, we know that she’s pretty much seen as just the female version of Spider-Man, but you’d be writing off a well-rounded character that’s been part of Marvel Comics for four decades now.

There are several versions of the character around; however, Jessica Drew still stands out as the one true Spider-Woman among all the pretenders. Knowing Sony, though, it wouldn’t surprise us if they cast Aunt May in the role and make her battle against a bug-spray company or something. So, maybe, it would be better if this idea is best left in Marvel’s hands.

Nonetheless, a Spider-Woman film could open the door for the rest of Spidey’s amazing friends to find their way into our lives. Who wouldn’t want to see the ultimate team-up movie starring the Wall-Crawler and his arachnid-inspired mates? It would be radioactively radical!
