'The Amazing Spider-Man 3' News: Marvel Files For Trademark Of The Character, Silk, Could Mean Future Series Or Spinoff For Her [VIDEO]
It seems like they may have found that female superhero to get around, and she has ties to the world of Spider-Man.
Will There Be Two Andrew Garfields In 'Amazing Spider-Man 3?'
ComicBook.com reported on Monday that Marvel Comics filed a trademark for Silk, which could set-up as a potential series.
According to the site, Silk was first revealed as part of Amazing Spider-Man's Original Sin tie-in story, which ran in issues #4-5. The story revealed that Peter Parker wasn't the only teenager bitten by a radioactive spider. On that same day, the same spider bit a teenaged girl named Cindy Moon, granting her spider-powers similar to, but slightly different than Peter's (she's faster, but not as strong, has a better spider-sense, and organic webs that shoot out of her fingertips).
Venom Could Be Teased During 'Amazing Spider-Man 3'
Cindy was hidden away by Ezekial Sims in order to keep her safe from Morlun. Silk's connection to Morlun is important. Morlun is the antagonist and driving force behind the upcoming Spider-Verse event, which features every version of Spider-Man and every Spider-Family character from across the multiverse.
Silk would fall into that category anyway, but her direct connection to Morlun potentially foreshadows a major role for her in Spider-Verse's story.
Silk seems like a little known character that could be set-up for something small like a television series. It also would allow Marvel to tap into the Spider-Man universe a little bit while not using the big names.
The Amazing Spider-Man 3 is set to open in theaters in 2018.
