RELATED: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE 2: ISSA RAE CAST AS SPIDER-WOMAN IN INTRIGUING UPCOMING ANIMATED SEQUEL The first Spider-Woman debuted in Marvel Spotlight #32 and after the comic sold surprisingly well she earned her own 50 issue self-titled comic book series. Over the years many heroes have taken on the moniker Spider-Woman including Julia Carpenter, Gwen Stacy, and Mary Jane Watson, but the first Spider-Woman, originally introduced in 1978, was Jessica Drew.

This could mean that Jessica awakens as an adult instead of a teenager, or it could be set years after she first wakes from the genetic accelerator. What is interesting is that it looks like they are looking to cast a 25-35 year old actress.
