Don’t feel bad if you don’t know Nightwatch; his career at Marvel Comics has been largely in a supporting role.
And according to online reports (via CBR) none other than Spike Lee is looking to direct the film, from a script by Cheo Hodari Coker, the showrunner of Netflix’s Luke Cage series.
But with Sony still looking to turn their one Spider-Man franchise into an entire cinematic universe unto itself, Nightwatch may in fact get a movie all his own.
If Nightwatch comes to fruition, it would join Sony’s expanding slate of Spider-Man spinoffs, including Tom Hardy’s Venom, and Gina Prince-Bythewood’s Silver & Black about Silver Sable and the Black Cat.
