Issa Rae is getting ready to move from the world of her popular Showtime series, “Insecure,” and into the animated world of “Spider-Man.” Rae has been tapped to voice Spider-Woman in the upcoming sequel to “Into the Spider-Verse.”
Initially reported via The Hollywood Reporter, Rae will be providing the voice for Jessica Drew, otherwise known as one of the earliest Spider-Man spin-off characters, Spider-Woman. Rae’s name is the first new performer to be attached to the sequel. Both Shameik Moore and Hailee Steinfeld will return as main character Miles Morales and Spider-Gwen, respectively.
Phil Lord and Chris Miller, as well as David Callaham, will be the credited screenwriters with Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson directing. Nothing else is known about the new project with regards to story but that it will continue to show off characters associated with the Spider-Man legacy throughout its comic history.
