Star Wars sequel trilogy star Daisy Ridley confessed her wish to join yet another major franchise by taking up the mantle of Spider-Woman.
"I would love to play Spider-Woman," Ridley told author Sariah Wilson when asked about casting rumors suggesting she might play Jessica Drew in the Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters. Ridley also told Wilson that she loved the animated feature Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and has been a big fan of Marvel's latest series WandaVision.
Ridley's not the first cast member of the Star Wars sequel trilogy to take an interest in Marvel. It's recently been revealed that her co-star Oscar Isaac will be taking up the mantle of Moon Knight, who'll soon be appearing in his own MCU series on Disney+.
First appearing in the pages of Marvel Spotlight in 1977, Spider-Woman has been a fixture of the Marvel Universe for decades. The name and costume have passed hands through several characters, including Spider-Man's sometimes wife Mary Jane Watson. However, the first and most notable of the Spider-Women was Jessica Drew, who served a notable tenure on the Avengers.
