A new film is in the works that will center on two female characters in the Spider-Man universe: Silver Sable and Black Cat.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the spin-off will be penned by screenwriter Chris Yost, whose credits include the upcoming Marvel film "Thor: Ragnarok" and the animated series for "Wolverine" and "X-Men."

In the comic series, Black Cat is an acrobatic cat burglar who has a complicated romantic history with Spider-Man. 

Silver Sable is less well-known as a mercenary whose company hunts war criminals. 

It's the latest Spider-Man film coming from Sony. "Spider-Man: Homecoming" bows this summer, while "Venom" is due out October 2018.
