Silk -- Another Sony Spider-Man Spin-Off
Sony is developing “Silk,” a “Spider-Man” spin-off about Korean-American heroine Cindy Moon, an individual with knowledge of the project tells TheWrap.
Amy Pascal is producing.
“Silk” first appeared in April 2014’s “The Amazing Spider-Man vol. 3 #1” and was created by Dan Slott and Humberto Ramos.
According to the Marvel Wiki, when high school student Cindy Moon was attending a public exhibition demonstrating the safe handling of nuclear laboratory waste materials, sponsored by the General Techtronics Corporation, a spider irradiated by a particle accelerator used in the demonstration bit Peter Parker on the hand and fell from his hand. The spider then bit Cindy in her ankle before dying. Cindy’s story was revealed to Peter Parker 13 years later, when he was the hero known as Spider-Man.
“Silk” would be a part of Sony’s “Spider-Man” universe along with other Marvel Comics properties such as “Venom,” “Silver and Black,” “Nightwatch,” and “Morbius the Living Vampire.”

Sony's going to run this franchise into the ground. 
But saying that, I would like to see a Morbius film.

Fuck, I wish Disney would buy Sony too.

Re: Silk -- Another Sony Spider-Man Spin-Off
I'm always up for more movies starring Asian Americans (it's not like we've had any superheroes make it to the screen just yet anyway), but I wonder if they're going to recast the role, since I think we've already seen her in Homecoming. Also, unless they just want a "spider-girl" (which is what they might want), Silk is a bit more of an adult character, not sure it would work with teenaged Spider-man...

Most of these spinoffs sound terrible, but I wouldn't mind seeing an Asian superhero in some form either, especially after Marvel spent time whitewashing characters instead.
