"Silver and Black" focuses on the characters Silver Sable, a mercenary who hunts war criminals, and Black Cat, an acrobatic burglar. The movie is to be directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood ("Beyond the Lights," "Love and Basketball"), but no casting announcements have been made — a sure sign the project was not close to making that February date. Sony is looking for another date.
In press for the Freeform Marvel series "Cloak and Dagger," Prince-Bythewood hinted that the movie still needs work.
"The update is just really pounding out the script," she said. "It all starts with the script. You gotta have a great script so we want to make sure that's right before we jump in."
"Silver and Black" was one of a number of projects Sony was developing within the Spidey-verse. The first of these is "Venom," starring Tom Hardy, which opens October 5.
