That being said, while it’s possible Cindy may return in a Spider-Man movie, her own solo film will likely follow a different route. Since Peter Parker will be feeling pretty isolated now that his identity is outed and Iron Man is dead, it might be helpful for him to find an ally in another spider-powered hero who happens to also be one of his friends. It’s also worth noting that Tiffany Espensen is now twenty-years-old – the age Cindy would now be if she had survived the Snap, meaning she could return to play an older Cindy in the third Spider-Man MCU movie. Perhaps she could even befriend Ant-Man’s daughter Cassie Lang, who appears to have gone through similar trauma in Endgame. Cindy might also lose her entire family in the Snap (a nod to her comic book origin), letting audiences see how a teenager copes with such loss. Getting to see it through Cindy’s eyes as she struggles to be a hero in a world where people believe all the heroes are gone offers a wealth of dramatic possibilities. Audiences only got to see this world very briefly in Endgame. What’s interesting about this angle is that it offers a chance to explore a period of MCU history largely glossed over – the five-year gap between Thanos and Bruce Banner’s snaps. Cindy could acquire her Silk powers during this time through any number of means (another spider bite, alien tech, random mutation etc.) and “fill in” for Spider-Man during these years.
This offers an interesting inversion to her comic book origin – instead of being the one locked away from the world for years, Cindy would be the one surviving in a post-Snap society while Spider-Man was effectively dead to the world. If Cindy survived the Snap while all of her friends turned to dust, she had to live through the next five years in a dangerous and depressing world without many active heroes. Spider-Man: Far From Home, however, suggests a different avenue the movies could go with Silk. This proves awkward for both of them, particularly during their superhero team-up battles. Since Peter and Cindy were bitten by the same spider, they produce pheromones that give them an overpowering physical attraction to each other. Unlike Spidey, she can spin organic webs from her fingers, which she uses to weave her own costume. Like Spider-Man, she possesses super strength, incredible speed, a spider-sense (or “Silk Sense”), and the ability to crawl on walls. Using her powers, Cindy became the superhero Silk. Because of this, Spider-Man ally Ezekiel Sims convinced Cindy to hide for years in a bunker designed to shield her from the Inheritors.Įventually, Peter Parker learned of Cindy and freed her.
This granted Cindy spider-like powers, but also made her a target for the Inheritors, vampire-like creatures who traveled the multiverse looking for spider-powered people to devour. In the comics, the same spider that bit Peter Parker also bit Korean-American student Cindy Moon before it died.
