The Marvel universe of the comics is quickly becoming saturated with spider-centric characters, though, one of the original, and best, Peter Parker spin-offs is Jessica Drew AKA Spider-Woman.

The character is actually the arachnid-based hero least similar in powers to Spidey, having the ability to 'sting' her enemies and favouring gliding instead of the traditional web-swinging, making her much more of a unique hero than her codename would suggest.

In regards to who should portray Drew in the MCU, Alison Brie would be the ideal choice, with her being touted as the one to play the character already, following a post featuring herself and Brie Larson appeared online (due to the fact that Danvers and Drew are best friends in the comics). This is with good reason though, the actress being one of great talents, not to mention simply looking like the character.

Hopefully, Marvel will leave out the bit where Spider-Woman was a member of Hydra, that would be nice.
