“Booksmart” director Olivia Wilde is set to develop and direct an untitled female-centered Marvel film at Sony Pictures, according to an individual with knowledge of the nascent project.
Not many details were disclosed, but it’s to be expected that the film would center on Spider-Woman, seeing as Sony has a partnership with Marvel to produce films based on the Spider-Man characters.
A spokesperson for Sony declined to comment.
Wilde has become one of the most sought after female directors in Hollywood, since earning praise for last year’s “Booksmart.” Katie Silberman (“Set it Up”), who worked with Wilde on “Booksmart” is set to write the script, with Amy Pascal producing and Rachel O’Connor serving as executive producer.
