A female Spidey, Scorpion, Tarantula and Kraven are among the characters who will reportedly come to the upcoming Spider-Man spinoff.

AceShowbiz - Plot points for the untitled Silver Sable and The Black Cat project might have been revealed. If Splash Report can be trusted, the upcoming Spider-Man spin-off will have the likes of Dominic Fortune, Jessica Drew or Spider-Woman, Sergei Kravinoff or Kraven the Hunter, Lonnie Lincoln or Tombstone, and Charles Standish.
The movie is reportedly set seven years after Mendel Stromm (a.k.a. Robot Master) and his two henchmen (The Scorpion and The Tarantula) killed Silver Sable's father. It will follow the Sable as she "is hired by the government to find Felicia Hardy. The Black Cat, a master hacker and thief, has apparently stolen valuable secret information. She's hiding in the lawless and dangerous triple frontier area between Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil."
"Once there, Sable asks her old contact Dmitri Smerdyakov (a.k.a. The Chameleon) to locate her. But it seems, the government are not the only ones looking for the Black Cat. It seems Felicia had made a deal Stromm to save her father from a Russian prison and she's been genetically enhanced. Now, the mad scientist wants his prized experiment back because his financier (cough Norman Osborn cough) wants a return on his investment."
Like "Venom (2018)", the Silver Sable and Black Cat movie won't be related to the upcoming "Spider-Man: Homecoming" series that stars Tom Holland and crosses paths with The Avengers. So if the rumors are true, it's unlikely to see Spider-Woman and all those Spidey supporting cast and villains in the webcrawler solo movie once they're introduced in the spin-offs.
"Venom" has found its Eddie Brock in Tom Hardy. The movie is directed by Ruben Fleischer. It's scheduled to kick off production this fall for an October 5, 2018 release. Meanwhile, the Silver Sable and Black Cat film hasn't announced a director, cast and release date.
