My casting choices for the Prowler, Silver Sable and Spider-Woman if Sony decided to make these films.
Donald Glover/Prowler: Glover originally auditioned for the role of Spider-Man, but was turned down. However, the Prowler would be the next best character for him to play. An inventive scientific prodigy with money problems who eventually learns that "with great power comes great responsibility"? He's practically Spider-Man, but without the powers. And I can already envision a scene in a future SM film where he covers for Peter by disguising himself as Spider-Man, to throw off the suspicion of other supporting characters or villains, just like in the comics. It'd also be a clever reference to how Glover originally wanted to play SM by having him in the costume.
Milla Jovovich/Silver Sable: Since Jovovich has already played Jill Valentine in Sony's Resident Evil and seems to remain a staple in action/sci-fi films, she'd be right at home with the ASM and Silver Sable series.
Karen Gillan/Spider-Woman: As with Glover's case, Karen has openly voiced her desire to play a SM character: Spider-Girl. But the next best role would be Spider-Woman, not Girl. It would be a perfect role for her if she wants to play a strong female character who's central to the SM universe. It would be the Mattie Franklin incarnation, most likely.
