Sony’s Spider-verse has been having a hard time. Because Morbius didn’t work out, but they’re going to keep looking for new characters to turn into spinoffs. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, the follow-up to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018), was recently put back until July 2, 2023. More time to think about what Miles Morales, Peter B. Parker, and Gwen Stacy are going to do in the sequel will give Marvel fans more time to make up their own ideas. When Across the Spider-Verse comes out next year, it’s going to be the first time that a pregnant superhero is on the big screen in a Marvel movie.
Among the superheroes in question are Jessica Drew/Spider-Man (voiced by Issa Rae from Insecure). In 2015, Dennis “Hopeless” Hallum ran a movie called Spider-Woman, which was an animated film made by Phil Lord and Chris Miller. CinemaCon footage shows that the animated film will be based on that movie. When this run happened, a very pregnant female avenger kept going and didn’t stop for a second.
The official title of that series was:
Private investigator Jessica Drew is also a super hero and a mom to be, but we don’t know yet. Since we last saw Spider-Woman, she’s had a lot more to do. She’s now a super hero for two people, after all. Besides Ben Urich and Porcupine, they’re still with Jess on the trip. They’re not making it any easier for her. Often, they won’t even let her get out of the car. The question is how can a woman do both at the same time. Take a look at the “mother of all Spider-Stories.”
Pregnant superheroes were new at the time, and it was interesting to show them. Most mothers in comic books are killed off when a male hero starts out as a hero. During the Infinity Saga, there were only a few mothers who took on the bad guys and made it through. Pepper Potts, who played Rescue (Gwyneth Paltrow) in one scene, and the first Wasp/Janet Van Dyne were two of them (Michelle Pfeiffer).
Jessica Drew was first seen in Marvel Spotlight #32 by Archie Goodwin and Jim Mooney, who wrote the book. Some fans want her to be in the MCU, with Star Wars star Daisey Ridley as a favorite. However, the rights to her character aren’t easy to figure out. Sony Pictures can still show Jessica Drew as Spider-Woman, but Marvel can only use her without any connection to Spider-Man. This is similar to how Marvel used Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) in Avengers: Age of Ultron (2016).
