"Marvel Rising" News & Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

I think it's kind of funny how the people working on this still call her Spider-Gwen, when's she's supposed to be Ghost Spider.

If there's something strange, in the neighborhood, who you gonna call?

GHOST SPIDER!

"Ghost Spider" still sounds more like a villain name to me. They even used it for one of the Spider Slayers back on USM.

You're not alone. It sounds to me as well.

And nobody ever calls her Spider-Woman like she is in the comics .

Well, Spider Gwen is easier to say for a teenage hero than Spider Woman (if that truly is like in the comics) (also, teenage Wonder Woman works since she's more iconic). Unless a project is meant to be supernatural, a name like Ghost Spider does have an ominous aura to it.

Well, we also usually have a teenage Peter Parker running around as "Spider-Man," so I don't see it as much of an issue .

Well, Spider-Man is a more iconic name, even if he's usually a teenager. Spider Gwen is something relatively recent, hence why this name is used instead

 

[RoyalRubble]

It doesn't make much sense to me - the "Spider-Gwen" name from the comics is supposedly too recent to use, so they come up with a completely new name for the character instead.

They could've just called her "Spider-Woman" and saved everyone and themselves all the trouble.

 

[Frontier]

They said she's called "Ghost Spider" since "Spider-Gwen" doesn't make sense for a character with a secret identity, but everyone seems to forget that she's not actually called Spider-Gwen in the comics .

I can only assume that for some reason Marvel doesn't want to associate Gwen Stacy with the Spider-Woman moniker in outside media.

 

[RoyalRubble]

Well, if nothing else, I have to admit "Ghost Spider" sounds better than the "Kid Arachnid" codename they used for Miles Morales on USM.

 

[TheLemsterPju]

The Marvel Database wiki listed the tie-in comics for this as part of Earth-616. (By an admin of that site I should mention.)

Was this ever confirmed or are the "Marvel Rising" comics separate from the film?

June 28th:
It's not much but Cierra Ramirez shared this photo.


July 6th:
Marvel's new episode of "Earth's Mightiest Show" features Dove Cameron and Cort Lane talking some more about this project. Not much new stuff is revealed, though.


July 12th:
Sort of related, Marvel will launch a new comic series with Gwen Stacy using the new Ghost Spider codename. More details will be revealed at Comic-Con, apparently. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with Marvel Rising, but I figured it would be worth mentioning here.

I just assumed they were relaunching the comic version of Spider-Gwen with the Ghost Spider moniker .

Now the real question is whether Marvel's Spider-Man's Gwen will start going by "Ghost Spider" once she gets her powers back...

This tweet (presumably) shows us a still from the movie; possibly giving us our first look at the animation style.

Hard to really gauge without seeing it in motion, but it does look somewhat different from the typical Marvel animated style .

 

[Rick Jones]

The background reminds me of stuff we'd see in other Marvel shows but as you said, this is just a still. SDCC wouldn't be a bad time to start releasing the shorts.

First official trailer, and there's something quite extraordinary about it--

The... the animation... looks nice!

Seriously, look at the animation in this trailer, this has to be some of the most fluent, expressive, and vibrant animation and character art Marvel has since Spectacular Spider-Man and Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
