No, there was not "always a connection"; that has been retconned (spider-verse) because she wasn't part of anything to do with Spider-Man in the beginning. But its all moot now, becausenow she IS in it. Also, keep in mind that the MCU isn't the same as the comics.I have to remind myself of that all the time!

I doubt Sony would want to try to flex on Disney like that given the already tenuous Spidey situation though. Tricky stuff.
Yeah, I know. I try to ignore it.
They could easily just create their own terrorist group and anti-terrorist group.
Ah yes, headcanon is always stronger than actually canon.

On the other hand if your a fan of hers and want to see her on the big screen MCU, now you've got a shot.

1 hour ago, JayC said:For today we start off with a rumor that says Sony is planning on bringing Jessica Drew to the big screen as the original Spider-Woman. There is no question Sony seems intent on expanding it's Spider-Movie Universe, and Spider-Woman does seem like a obvious choice for a solo film. The only indication that this is something actually happening is based on a report made by a guy named Daniel Richtman who broke the news on his Patreon account.

I had really hoped they'd get a Sub-Mariner movie out before Aquaman; knew it was not to be, because of all the licensing issues. Nevertheless Namor could be great, if handled properly. Frankly I never liked the idea of him and the Black Panther as enemies, so if that's not on the MCU screen I wont complain. The Sub-Mariner was Marvel's first superhero (along with original Torch), and he deserves a great premiere. A rich character that has so much more to bring to the universe than a contrived feud with Wakanda, but again if they handle it right, it could be a great story.
