Silk: Spider Society, the live-action series which was to be centered on Cindy Moon, has been scrapped by Amazon.

Two years after Silk: Spider Society was formally introduced, the live-action Spider-Man series has been scrapped.

Silk: Spider Society was poised to turn into the primary of a number of live-action Marvel exhibits based mostly on Sony Pictures’ library of Spidey characters, however that honour will (probably) now go to Noir, the not too long ago introduced series starring Nicholas Cage.

Based on characters created by Dan Slott and Humberto Ramos, the series would have adopted Cindy Moon, a Korean-American girl bitten by the identical spider that bit Peter Parker, as she escapes imprisonment and searches for her lacking household on her option to turning into the superhero referred to as Silk. As to why the series has been scrapped, that’s unknown, however Deadline believes the prolonged growth interval didn’t do it any favours.

Sony initially tasked Lauren Moon (Atypical) with writing the variation of the undertaking and later employed Tom Spezialy (The Leftovers) to function showrunner. However, when the series was formally ordered, The Walking Dead‘s Angela Kang was in charge. The project then went through “at least three versions,” with one of them apparently reconfigured not to involve Silk so heavily. The project was also delayed by the WGA strike last year, but Amazon didn’t instantly reopen the writers’ room as soon as the strike concluded. Although Kang’s newest pitch for the series was reportedly well-received, the studio selected to commit its sources to Noir as a substitute. It’s attainable that the series may very well be shopped elsewhere, however I wouldn’t maintain your breath.

As for Noir, that series will “tell the story of an aging and down on his luck private investigator (Cage) in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life as the city’s one and only superhero.” Vernon Sanders, the pinnacle of tv at Amazon MGM Studios mentioned, “Expanding the Marvel universe with Noir is a uniquely particular alternative and we’re honored to carry this series to our international Prime Video clients. The extraordinarily gifted Nicolas Cage is a perfect alternative for our new superhero and the completed producing crew with Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, Amy Pascal, and the unbelievable crew at Sony is devoted to increasing this franchise in probably the most genuine manner.“
