Spider-Man Ally Silk Getting Live-Action Series from Sony

Sony Pictures Television is reportedly developing a live-action TV series about Silk, an ally of Spider-Man's in the Marvel comics. Silk is the superhero pseudonym of Korean American Cindy Moon, who debuted in 2014's Spider-Man Vol. 3 #4. Lauren Moon (Atypical, Good Trouble) is in talks to write Silk, which will be executive produced by Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse's Phil Lord and Chris Miller. Amy Pascal, the former head of Sony Pictures, will also exec produce Silk. Pascal had previously been developing Silk as a feature film back in 2018. "No network or streaming service is currently attached, but sources say Amazon is in talks to acquire the project, along with other potential Marvel series based on characters Sony controls," Variety reports. Created by Dan Slott and Humberto Ramos, Cindy Moon acquired her superpowers from the same radioactive spider that bit and transformed Peter Parker into your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. And like Spidey, Silk has a Spider-Sense, can shoot webs, and possesses superhuman speed, strength, and stamina. Cindy Moon has actually appeared in live-action before, having been portrayed by actress Tiffany Espensen as one of Peter's (Tom Holland) classmates in Spider-Man: Homecoming and Avengers: Infinity War. Silk is one of a number of Spidey-related projects in development beyond Tom Holland's next MCU outing. These Sony spin-offs including Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Morbius, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2, Kraven the Hunter, and Olivia Wilde's Spider-Woman.
