Originally from a one-off story set in the Marvel Comics multiverse, the character was the focus of a “what if” scenario in which it was Gwen Stacy, most famously portrayed as the tragically doomed girlfriend of Peter Parker, who got bit by a radioactive spider and acquired powers from it. Ironically, the story saw Parker himself turn into The Lizard, one of the most memorable villains of the series.

With Descendants‘ Dove Cameron ready to voice the character, Spider-Gwen will make her small-screen debut on the final episode of the show’s opening story arc alongside other alternate Spider-Men like Blood Spider and Spider-Man Noir:

“Return to the Spider-Verse: Part One” will premiere on Saturday, August 27th at 8:00pm ET/PT on Disney XD, with Part Two airing on September 3rd, Part Three on September 10th and Part Four on September 17th.

Spider-Gwen made her debut in “Edge of Spider-Verse” #2, the second in a series of one-off stories about different iterations of Spider-Man characters, but has gone on to become an immensely popular character. This alternate version of Gwen Stacy became the one bitten by the radioactive spider and given great power and responsibility instead of Peter Parker, who in fact went on to become The Lizard in this unique universe.

**** We hired Reggie, fulfilled our obligations to him, and he quit in the middle of covering two TV series w/ no notice and no explanation. He then ignored our emails asking him to complete his coverage (we had no one else to cover those TV shows). He didn't care. We regret hiring him and we regret putting our trust in him. **** An aspiring writer, longtime film junkie, and former UCLARadio.com disc jockey (where I graduated with a BA in Political Science), I've made the jump from penning book reviews and current events editorials for HonorSociety.org to writing movie and TV news and reviews. When I'm not working towards my certificate in Radio and Television/Video Production at Fullerton College, I enjoy reading (horror, science fiction, and historical/political nonfiction are particular favorites), participating in my school's TV and theatre clubs, attending movie screenings, plays, concerts, and other events, and trying to come up with pithy things to say on social media. Believe it or not, there are occasions where I find time to write for my own leisure.
