SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING 2 Update - Could The New "Femme Fatale" Female Lead Be Jessica Drew?
A recent report indicated that the Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel was in search of an "International European in her 20's" to play the "femme fatale female lead," and now we have a very interesting update.
That Hashtag Show has shared an update on their recent scoop relating the the new female lead character for the upcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel. The initial report claimed that the studio was looking for "an International European in her 20's" to play a new "femme fatale female lead."
This information combined with previously leaked audition videos led to speculation that the film could be introducing a European take on Gwen Stacy, but now it seems Jessica Drew, a.k.a Spider-Woman, might be a more likely possibility.
According to THS's sources, the role that was originally described as a "femme fatale" is also going to be "a Bond-girl type international agent." As fans of the character will know, Drew started out as an Agent of Hydra before switching sides to S.H.I.E.L.D., so she could definitely fit this description.
Just speculation for now, of course, but this would be a great opportunity for Sony/Marvel to introduce Jessica Drew to the MCU, and spin the webs for Spider-Woman moving forward.
