Spider-Man: Through the Spider-Verse is about to be a big multiversal adventure with many variations of the titular web-slinger. The highly anticipated sequel to Into the Spider-Verse is confirmed to bring back Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen, and Peter B. Parker while introducing new characters like Oscar Isaac’s Spider-Man 2099.
While exact plot details are still being kept under wraps, it’s been confirmed that the Spider-Variants will unite to take on a spooky new villain called The Spot. Not only that, but the film’s directors, Phil Lord and Chris Miller, have revealed that Through the Spider-Verse has “240 characters” and “takes place in 6 universes.”
Now, it’s been confirmed that a new character will appear in the upcoming animated sequel based on an official merchandise image from the movie.
Another Spider-Man joins the multiverse epic
twitter user @preterniadotcom discovered evidence that a new variant of Spider-Man will join the adventure of Miles Morales and his allies in 2023 Spider-Man: Through the Spider-Verse.
Based on the image of the new official movie merchandise, Cyborg Spider-Woman is set to appear in the Marvel sequel:
The collectible figure reveals the muscular body of Cyborg Spider-Woman, which is highlighted by a huge cannon on her right hand:
In Marvel Comics, the only reference to Cyborg Spider-Woman dates back to the Edge of Spider-Verse storyline, a team-based miniseries between several never-before-seen characters from across the multiverse, such as a Spider-Man who transforms into a real-life spider and Spider-Gwen.
The character’s animated debut in the spider worms sequel is potentially his first screen appearance:
How Cyborg Spider-Woman Fits Into The Spider-Verse Sequel
This latest merchandise confirmed that Cyborg Spider-Woman will be joining Team Spider-Man alongside Spider-Punk, Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen, Peter B. Parker, and Spider-Man 2099 in the film.
Since Cyborg Spider-Woman doesn’t have a significant role in Marvel Comics, it’s possible that Through the Spider-Verse will include the character in a major way in the script of the film.
In the original version spider worms comic, Cyborg Spiderman played a major role in defeating Karn, a member of the Inheritors who is obsessed with killing those with spider powers across the multiverse. However, the character died when Daemos, a totem hunter, destroyed it upon the arrival of the heirs to his Earth.
In the movie, it’s likely that Cyborg Spider-Woman (a gendered version of Cyborg Spider-Man) will be recruited by Miles Morales or Miguel O’Hara into the battle against The Spot. The character’s combat expertise combined with his cybernetic enhancements could prove to be a solid advantage for Team Spider-Man in Through the Spider-Verse.
Spider-Man: Through the Spider-Verse is set to hit theaters on June 2, 2023.
