Movie News - Spider-Woman

As the story goes on the UK's MTV website, High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens is supposedly keen on starring in her own Marvel superhero movie: Spider-Woman. Believe it or not, it's not such a crazy idea after all.
While this is the first that anyone's heard of a potential Spider-Woman movie, there are three items which are conductive toward making as assumption that Hudgens may have had a meeting with someone at Disney about the idea:

• Five days ago CHUD's Devin Faraci broke the story that Marvel Studios is "currently taking meetings with writers and directors to work on small scale movies based on some of their third tier characters. The movies would cost in the range of 20 to 40 million dollars (very small when we're talking studio films) and would allow them to take risks with less obvious characters and with interesting talent." That lines up with MTV's UK report, doesn't it?
• Hudgens, as it doesn't need pointing out, was made a star by Disney through her HSM appearances. Taking a meeting with a Disney creative executive that she knows about playing one of the company's newly acquired Marvel characters isn't that big a stretch to imagine.
• There's also Coming Attraction's report from last year to consider about Marvel allegedly interested in giving their female superheroes more of the cinematic spotlight.

MTV says little else about its source except that the supposed take on Spider-Woman is "comedic" and in the movie the character is "strong and sexy but in this case hilarious."
In the Marvel comics Spider-Woman isn't used for comedic effect but it's not outside the realm of possibility either for the superhero maker to go this route. A recent retake on the She-Hulk character was played up for comedic sensibilities.
I guess we will just have to wait and see....
