Homecoming Should Sony Make A Spider-Gwen Film As It's Female Spidey Film?

[Webhead2006]

That is a totally different case then the live action corner. Seesh you really stretching it with with your views on things.

 

[DigificWriter]

^ The only reason the 2018 movie is going to be an animated project is because that's the medium Sony wants to use. They could easily and legally make it live-action if they chose.

 

[Webhead2006]

No they couldnt man.

 

[DigificWriter]

^ Yes, they could. Even if you and many others want to believe otherwise, the factual reality is this:
Sony still flat-out owns the Spider-Man filmic license and can do anything that they want with it independently of the partnership deal they made with Marvel Studios. This was made patently clear in all of the initial reporting on said deal, and is backed up by the fact that we're getting a 2018 animated movie that is completely unconnected to the MCU and the fact that the only one of Sony's previously-planned live-action Spider projects that has been officially cancelled as a result of this partnership deal is Drew Goddard's Sinister Six.

Actually, we know this is untrue. There is a leaked document which details what Sony can and can't do with the property.

As for Spider-Gwen, Emma Stone was pretty lukewarm on the idea and I don't see anyone else being able to sell the character to the public. Legacy characters like Miles, Mayday, and even Miguel are easier concepts to market than a character that became Spider-Man instead of Peter.

 

[Webhead2006]

Well most of us can clearly see what's is both sony and marvels views and plans and it isn't what you keep on hammering at us. Their is no proof you have backing your claims. Unlike the many many evidence we have that goes against your views on the matter.

I have read through a large portion of the leaked emails and did not see anything pertaining to what Sony can and cannot do with the license, so can you please elaborate on this?

I disagree. I believe Sony could easily make this kind of project work, and it wouldn't be dependent on Emma Stone's involvement in order to do so.

Emma Stone is the reason Gwen became popular and Spider-Gwen was created. Remove her, and you just have a female Spider-Man who's in a band.

 

[DigificWriter]

^ I don't see how that restriction would apply if Sony wanted to pursue a Spider-Gwen project, but thank you for answering my question.

As far as Emma Stone goes, I don't think she was expressing ambivalence to the idea of Spider-Gwen, but instead trying not to say anything that might be taken out of context as far as any such project goes (and, yes, I've watched what she said and how she said it).

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

Lol someone brought this thread back. I made this when Sony was wanting to do spinoffs and their Spidey Cinematic Universe.

I don't think Spider-Gwen should be made BUT!!!!

I think it would be awesome if we had a Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions type film. Have MCU Spidey, Spider-Gwen, Spider-Man Noir, and Spider-Man 2099 as the Spideys of the film.

 

[sl500jazz]

Although I enjoyed her debut issue and adore the costume, her ongoing didn't really thrill me, and MJ's portrayal in the book really soured the concept for me. And the push that she has been getting lately has been a little...excessive. Not to mention it would, in my opinion, be incredibly convoluted to have two very different live action portrayals of the same Spider-Man characters occurring simultaneously. So...my answer is still no.

That being said, I think it would be wise for Marvel to double down on the current Emma Stone craze by casting her as the MCU's Jessica Drew/Spider-Woman (as a full-fledged Avenger). I'm not sure if Sony has access to that character. Perhaps it could be another shared property.

 

[Webhead2006]

No marvel has her rights as she wasn't ties to spiderman personally.

 

[SoNicRaDiATioN]

Who cares IF Stone was the reason Gwen became popular (in the context of poor films) and Spider-Gwen was created (????), she's not the reason the character became popular. What did that was a great series with terrific writing and art. That being said, Marvel own the rights to the character, not Sony.

I'd love if Marvel did something with the character down the road, either in live action or in an animated feature.

 

[ernesth100]

No. Spider-Woman, Jessica Drew first. Or Black Cat. Then maybe if they do a Spider-Verse spin off they introduce Spider-Gwen.

 

[SoNicRaDiATioN]

Spider-Women is likely at Marvel with Miguel, Miles and Mayday. Black Cat is at Sony.

Spider-Gwen mania started well before the series even hit the stands. Emma Stone was an undeniable contributing factor for the recent Gwennaissance. People were not raving about the character when she was played by Bryce Dallas Howard. But what really sealed the deal in terms of Spider-Gwen's popularity was the costume and cosplays of it.

Film is an entirely different market. Your average movie-going audience wouldn't know about Spider-Gwen, and probably wouldn't care. A problem would most definitely arise when replacing Emma Stone. Emma has proven to be a success. There's no guarantee that lightning will strike twice, and that audiences will take to the new actress as much as they did with Emma. You could try to find a viable replacement, but what's the point of investing so much in a brand new AU character who's storyline essentially contradicts/convolutes your flagship hero's?

I would love to see a Spider-Gwen film down the line because I LOVE THE SERIES. Do I think it will happen anytime soon? NO. My real concern is hoping a great Spider-Man film is finally made..

I could see Disney doing an animated film a la BH6, but Spider-Gwen won't be in the MCU.

 

[ernesth100]

Spider-Women is likely at Marvel with Miguel, Miles and Mayday. Black Cat is at Sony.

Who are working with Marvel

 

[SoNicRaDiATioN]

Who are working with Marvel

Which means it takes place in the MCU, which means Marvel determines what characters appear in their universe. So a solo Black Cat film would require their participation, assuming they'd want to even consider it for the next decade. Spider-Women is much more realistic in the next 5-10 years.

Though Spider-Gwen doesn't do much for me, I do love Robbi Rodriguez's style. It would probably look great animated.

Agreed.

 

[Webhead2006]

personally i doubt we will see any solo spin offs from spidey corner ever or for at least a very long time. As they want to get spidey back on track. Plus we are bound to see venom, black cat, sinister six will likely happen more so in a standard spidey solo then their own picture.

Also as much as i love spider-gwen i cant see marvel wanting to play around with a fairly newer alt non peter spidey. Personally i still want to see ben/kaine/miguel on screen first. And i hope we will some day. But if we get a secondary spidey its likely be miles before anyone else and miles still probably a good two phases away from even likely happening.

 

[Spider-Gnome]

I do not understand this Spider-Gwen mania at all.

Speaking of Emma Stone as Gwen, I'm reminded of this awesome tweet from Gerry Conway.

For a moment I thought this was about twitter when he offed Gwen.
His opening speech for the trade 'Death of the Stacys' mention him disliking Gwen and loving MJ.
