Though Venom is looking pretty great and Morbius seems to be moving into production impressively quickly, the black sheep of the Spider-verse family, Silver & Black, sounds like it’s still stuck in development hell.
The film follows two prominent female characters in the Spiderverse, Silver Sablinova aka Silver Sable and Felicia Hardy aka Black Cat, and while not much else is known about the project at the moment other than that it’s set to be helmed by Cloak & Dagger director Gina Prince-Bythewood, things aren’t looking too good for it right now.
Apparently frustrated with the slow pace of development, the aforementioned director has temporarily jumped ship to Old Guard, which looks set to shoot fairly soon. That film’s about a small group of immortal soldiers who’ve been working as mercenaries throughout the ages, only to have their cover blown by a nefarious organization that’s been spying on them.

Skydance Media has tapped Gina Prince-Bythewood to direct the fantasy movie “The Old Guard.”
The film is based on the comic book series created by author Greg Rucka and illustrator Leandro Fernández with Rucka writing the adaptation. Skydance’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Don Granger will produce the female-led action drama, set to release in 2019.
“The Old Guard” tells the story of a small covert group of immortal mercenaries who must fight to keep their team together when they discover the existence of a new immortal and their extraordinary abilities are exposed.
Prince-Bythewood’s feature film directing credits include “Love & Basketball,” “The Secret Life of Bees,” and “Beyond The Lights.” She became the first woman of color hired to direct a superhero film when it was announced last year that she would helm “Silver and Black,” based on the Silver Sable and Black Cat characters from Sony’s Marvel Universe.
