Development[edit]

In May 2017, Sony announced plans for a new shared universe, Sony's Spider-Man Universe, to feature Spider-Man-related properties beginning with Venom in October 2018.[2][3] By the end of June 2018, Sony and producer Amy Pascal had begun development on a film featuring the character Cindy Moon / Silk, and were actively looking for a writer for the project.[1][4] Moon was previously portrayed by Tiffany Espensen in Sony's Marvel Cinematic Universe film Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), which Pascal described as being set in "the same world" as the new shared universe.[1][5] Discussion of the project focused on Moon's Korean-American ethnicity,[1][4] with Sony wanting to promote diversity among the lead characters of its universe.[4] In December, Pascal announced that Cindy Moon / Silk would also be appearing in an animated Spider-Women film, but said the two versions of the character would be distinct. Silk comic creator Dan Slott felt they would still work together, with the animated film serving as a "world-wide publicity campaign" for the live-action film by introducing the character to female audience members. Pascal concurred with this, adding that they would "make each other better and bigger".[6] In late 2019, Silk was identified as a potential television series instead of a film, and development of the series version began at Sony Pictures Television.[7]
