Spider-Man: Far From Home - Everything We Know So Far
9. It'll Supposedly Feature A Femme Fatale

Perhaps one of the most exciting rumours (and yet another indication of Far From Home's changing tone) is that it'll supposedly include a "femme fatale". This report comes by way of That Hashtag Show, whose source also hints at this character being none other than Spider-Woman herself, Jessica Drew.
The role is described as a "Bond-girl type international agent", who'll also work alongside other agents in the field. Either way, including Spider-Woman in Far From Home would be massive for Marvel, as the character is one of the most iconic in the publisher's library, and one who could easily become a new Avenger as the MCU progresses into phases four, five and beyond.
Originally an agent of Hydra, Jessica was born in London before moving to the fictional nation of Transia. There, she falls ill due to uranium exposure, and her father, doing the only think he possibly could do (obviously), injects her with an experimental form of Spider-blood. From then on in, Jessica gradually becomes one of the Marvel Universe foremost combatants, doing everything a Spider can and then some.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
