LOS ANGELES — Axel Braun has cast Blake Blossom as Gwen Stacy (aka Spider-Gwen) in the director’s latest Wicked Comix superhero parody, “Spideypool XXX.”
The character is described as “a heroine from an alternate Marvel timeline where Gwen Stacy was bitten by a radioactive spider rather than Peter Parker, leading to her masked vigilante career as Spider-Woman, better known as Spider-Gwen.”
“Blake was just phenomenal,” said Braun, who is in his second year serving as head of production for Wicked Pictures.
“Her audition was fantastic, but on set she actually surpassed my expectations. From her look and her acting abilities to her extremely physical take on the character of Gwen, she was simply outstanding, and if that weren’t enough she was also a delight to be around,” he added.
Brain described Blossom as “sexy, funny, thoughtful and 100% committed, not to mention the fact that she possesses the most perfect set of natural boobs in the industry. She absolutely killed it as Spider-Gwen and it doesn’t take a genius to see that this girl has a very bright future ahead of her.”
A Porn and Mainstream First
A rep noted that “Spideypool XXX” will mark the first time Spider-Gwen has been depicted in either a live-action mainstream or adult film.
“While Bryce Dallas Howard portrayed Gwen in Sam Raimi’s ‘Spider-Man 3,’ and Emma Stone assumed the role in ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ films with Andrew Garfield,” the rep explained, “Spider-Gwen’s movie appearances have been limited to the animated ‘Spider-Verse’ series, where the character is voiced by Hailee Steinfeld.”
Blossom revealed, “When I first got the call from my agent about a super-secret role in an Axel Braun parody, I was really nervous about what it could possibly be. I was waiting on pins-and-needles to find out if I was going to get this huge role and it couldn’t have panned out better.”
She added that she has always enjoyed the Spider-Man universe and was overjoyed about the chance to play Spider-Gwen.
“I actually did a ton of character research, read a bunch of comics and rewatched all the movies to get a better understanding of what type of girl Gwen is and was,” said Blossom, who shared that her favorite part of the production was her painstakingly designed costume.
“Axel had such a wonderful and precise vision for my character and his attention to detail throughout the whole process was incredible,” she added. “[Costar] Tyler Cruise and I had never worked together before but his version of Peter Parker is hilarious.”
“Being part of this cast was so fun and I hope there’s a Part Two to Gwen’s story,” Blossom concluded.
Seth Gamble, who reprises his XBIZ award-winning role as Deadpool, said the starlet “gives precise form and delicate feeling to emotions and experiences that, despite the comic book specificity of the circumstances, everyone will recognize.”
“She’s a visceral performer and a convincing actress who looks and moves like the Spider-Gwen we all remember from the source material,” Gamble added.
“Spideypool XXX: An Axel Braun Parody” will premiere in 2022 exclusively on Wicked.com.
