According to Deadline sources, she's the frontrunner to take charge of a female-centred new comic book caper, perhaps based on the Spider-Woman character, written by her "Booksmart" collaborator Katie Silberman and produced by Hollywood heavyweight Amy Pascal.

Wilde's next project, thriller "Don't Worry, Darling", is set to start shooting later this year, while the "Tron Legacy" star, Silberman, and Pascal are also working on a Christmas movie.
