"In the first movie, there's the mugshot sequence where they're having their picture taken and the Nova Corps has information about each of the characters come up on their machinery. Now those things are something your average viewer doesn't see at all and doesn't read. But there's a lot of background about who they work with, where they're from and what's going on and it's one of those things I'm thinking about changing."

Black Cat/Silver Sable Movie
Directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood (Cloak & Dagger)
Working from script by Chris Yost (EMH)
Early synopsis: "Seven years after Mendel Stromm (a.k.a. Robot Master) and his two henchmen (The Scorpion and The Tarantula) killed her father, Silver Sable 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 ask 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."
Dominic Fortune, Jessica Drew/Spider-Woman, Sergei Kravinoff/Kraven the Hunter, Lonnie Lincoln/Tombstone, and Charles Standish
