***Silver Sable*** is an upcoming American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character **of the same name**, produced by Columbia Pictures in association with Marvel. Distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing, it is intended to be a film in the Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters.

Development on a female superhero spin-off from the Spider-Man film franchise first began in October 2014; by March 2017, it was set to feature Silver Sable and Black Cat, and was now considered to share the world of *Spider-Man: Homecoming* (which is set in the MCU). Gina Prince-Bythewood joined the team-up project—titled *Silver & Black*—as director, but it was canceled in August 2018 and reworked into individual spin-off films. *Silver Sable* is intended to be the second of these.

### Development

Template:Further
In December 2013, Sony revealed plans to use *The Amazing Spider-Man 2* (2014) to establish their own expanded universe based on the Marvel properties the studio had the film rights to. Development on a female superhero spin-off set in the expanded universe began with Lisa Joy writing the screenplay. The film was believed to have been "scrapped" by November 2015, but re-entered development as a film starring both **Silver Sable** and Black Cat in March 2017 when Sony revived plans for a shared universe, known as the Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters. The film was officially titled *Silver & Black*, and Gina Prince-Bythewood signed on to direct. Production on the film was indefinitely delayed in February 2018 as Prince-Bythewood was not happy with the script, and the film was officially canceled in August 2018.

After canceling *Silver & Black*, Sony intended to rework it as two separate solo films focusing on each of the title characters. Though a final decision had not been made at the time, Prince-Bythewood was not expected to direct either of the new films, though she would remain involved as a producer. Sony was adamant at the time of the announcement that Prince-Bythewood would be replaced with another female director.
