User blog:ARTaylor/August 2018 Poll Results

August is over and that means another poll has come to a close. Last month we asked which character from the upcoming film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse audiences are most looking forward to seeing.




 * 1) The clear winner with 57.1% was Gwen Stacy, also known as Spider-Woman. Hailee Steinfeld is voicing the character. This will be the first time that the character gets to become a web-powered hero on the big screen, having made three previous appearances and the third time in animation she becomes the superhero popularly known as Spider-Gwen. Spider-Gwen's role in the movie is limited, though we do know she will help Peter Parker train Miles Morales in becoming Spider-Man.
 * 2) Tied for second with 14.3% is Aaron Davis/Prowler, Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Noir), and Peter Porker/Spider-Ham. Prowler will be voiced by Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali. This will be the first time Prowler appears in theaters and the second time Davis appears following a brief appearance played by Donald Glover. Spider-Man (Noir), appearing for the first time in theaters played by another Oscar winner and well-known comic book fan Nicolas Cage. This will also be the first time that the goofy Spider-Ham will be on screen. He will be played by Saturday Night Live writer and comedian John Mulaney.
 * 3) Getting no love were Peni Parker also known as SP//dr as played by Kimiko Glenn, Jefferson Davis as played by Brian Tyree Henry, Peter Parker/Spider-Man as played by Jake Johnson, Miles Morales/Spider-Man as played by Shameik Moore, Wilson Fisk/Kingpin as played by Liev Schreiber, May Parker as voiced by Emmy-winning actress Lily Tomlin, and Rio Morales as played by Lauren Velez. It is strange that since this is Miles's movie and his feature film debut that he got no votes.
