Though it has not officially been confirmed which iteration of the arachnid-like heroine the film will focus on, it is OG fan favorite Jessica Drew (a government agent who gained powers like gliding, venomous blasts, and pheromonal manipulation due to her father’s experiments), Sackhoff seems like an ideal candidate to play the character, even if she is just another “boring” superhero.
Despite my initial commitment to finding Marvel characters of more malevolent qualities for Katee Sackhoff to play, just as it is tradition for us to throw a well-known villain into the mix, I figure suggesting a full-fledged do-gooder would help balance things out.
For instance, it was announced not too long ago that Sony is looking to bring Spider-Woman to the big screen with Booksmart director Olivia Wilde in talks to helm the project.
