Sony has been trying its best to create a cinematic universe using only Spider-Man characters, which it refers to as ‘Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters’.

Another hero joins the line-up now, which is the lesser-known character Jackpot. Introduced in 2007, Jackpot is a female superhero who develops super strength in pregnancy while researching gene therapy. She gives birth to a healthy baby but realizes her DNA has been re-written, and eventually, she joins a life of crime-fighting.

The mantle of Jackpot is used by two characters in the comic books. The mom-turned-vigilante Sara Ehret, and a temporary replacement called Alana Jobson. Sony has not announced whether the movie will feature both.

The movie will be scripted by Marc Guggenheim, who is well-known for his contributions to both Marvel and DC comic lines, including Green Lantern, The Amazing Spider-Man, and Aquaman.
