Curtesy of That Hashtag Show, we know that Far From Home will apparently feature a 'femme fatale', and that the femme fatale in question is likely to be none other than Jessica Drew herself, Spider-Woman.

The question of which studio owned the rights to the character has been up in the air for a good few years now, but it looks as though Marvel are poised to use the character - possibly without the Spider-Woman name - in Far From Home. This would make a great deal of sense, with Drew having acted as both a spy and a private investigator in the comics, and given that a great deal of Far From Home was filmed in London, the signs appear to be there that the London-born spy will appear in the sequel.

This is an exciting prospect for Marvel fans, who've been awaiting Drew's ascension to a live-action medium for a good few decades now. There's no underestimating the character's popularity, and with Far From Home set to spotlight spies both good and evil in a European setting, we can perhaps expect Drew to play both sides against each other, and for this film to seed a recurring role for the character in phases four, five, and beyond.
