Silk Movie in Development

According to the Wrap, Sony is developing a movie based on Marvel comics character, Cindy Moon. In the comics, Cindy was bitten by the same radioactive spider that bit Peter Parker, giving her similar powers. The movie will reportedly be part of the same universe as Venom, Silver and Black, and a few other movies (i.e. not the MCU). Amy Pascal is set to produce.

The CW has cast Jessica Camacho in an upcoming episode of The Flash as Cynthia Reynolds, aka Gypsy. Set reports indicate she'll be in whatever episode filmed two weeks ago, but I'm not sure it's the same actress (the photos were taken at night).

Zendaya Role Revealed

The Wrap has confirmed that Zendaya's role in the Spider-Man film will be that of Mary Jane Watson. Mary Jane is Peter's long-time love interest in the comics. Most news sites have believed she will play the love interest since she was first announced, it was just a question of character name.

Man of Steel Sequel Rumored

An anonymous source has told The Wrap that Warner Bros is still developing a sequel to the 2013 Man of Steel film. That film was originally supposed to turn into a Superman trilogy before Warner Bros changed their minds and opted for Batman v Superman. Now it appears that a second Superman solo film is "a top priority for the studio." I'm wondering how much of this has to do with the fact that Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, and Suicide Squad have all gotten mixed reviews and Warner Bros is trying to find something successful. The source said that the solo Batman film (which does not have a release date yet) will likely come before this movie. DC has two untitled films scheduled for 10/5/18 and 11/1/19.

Hayley Atwell Not Ready to Leave Peggy Carter

Speaking at the Television Critics Association press tour, Hayley Atwell said she would be willing to return to the role of Peggy Carter if ABC allowed it. If we can't get a full season, I would at least like a TV movie.

I think they would have figured something out, in terms of making an [Agent Carter] special or waiting until we finish this season and then doing something else with another network, perhaps... That’s something I would be very happy to go back to if the opportunity came... I’d love it to be [done again]. The great thing about Peggy is she lives a long life. I’m banking on being in my 50s and going, ‘Let’s see what Peggy’s up to.’

Infinity War Name Change

Earlier this year, Kevin Feige commented that they would be changing the names of Avengers: Infinity War Parts 1 & 2 to no longer be in two parts. Well, now they have... at least part way. According to Disney's latest film schedule, Infinity War Part 1 will drop the "Part 1" and Part 2 will become "untitled Avengers". The release dates (May 2018 and 2019) will not change.

Tony is playing either Peter Parker's friend Manuel or his high school nemesis, depending on whether you believe The Wrap or Deadline.
