In their report, they say the character at the center of the film has not yet been revealed. Further, a lead actor has not been selected.
Details are sparse without a writer on board either. Rumors say it will be based on the Madame Web comic-book character though.
What Variety does know though is that the studio is looking for an A-list actor and will be hiring a writer afterwards to design a script around them.
The publication’s sources tell them that a list of possible stars include Charlize Theron and Amy Adams but stress that no one has signed on yet.
Clarkson is the only person involved so far. In the past, she’s worked on shows including Banshee, Bates Motel and Succession.
As for Sony’s plans for upcoming Marvel titles, several are being postponed over the pandemic.
