Amy Pascal in talks with Sony for Spider-Man spin-off movie based on Korean-American superhero Cindy Moon

The Marvel comic Silk, about the Korean-American superhero Cindy Moon, is poised to have its own movie adaptation, according to a report by  Variety. The report states that Sony Pictures and producer Amy Pascal are in early development on a movie adaptation of Silk. In the comics created by Dan Slott and Humberto Ramos, Cindy is a student in Peter Parker’s class who also is bitten by a radioactive spider around the same time as Peter. She gains abilities similar to his, though she is able to shoot webs out of her fingertips, possesses an eidetic memory, and has advanced Spider-Sense far stronger than Peter’s. She has less superhuman strength than him, but is faster.

Espensen also reprises her role in _Avengers: Infinity War_ , when Cindy is shown on the bus with Peter as he plants a distraction in order to get into costume. Further details about the project are being kept under wraps, reports Variety. If the project comes through, it’ll be another push for diversity and inclusion on screen. Amy Pascal is known for championing strong female-led movies. Pascal has a number of upcoming movies like spin-offs _Venom_ and Silver & Black, and _The Girl in the Spider’s Web_ starring Claire Foy, and the live-action Barbie movie.
