Blake Blossom Slings Webs as Spider-Gwen in Finale of Wicked's 'Spideypool XXX'
LOS ANGELES, CA — Blake Blossom appears as Spider-Gwen in the final scene of “Spideypool XXX: An Axel Braun Parody,” the latest Wicked Comix superhero spoof, now available on Wicked.com.
Playing the alternate-universe version of Gwen Stacy, Blossom shares an explosive tryst with Tyler Cruise's Spider-Man.
“It was very important for me to cast the right Gwen,” said director and Wicked Head of Production Axel Braun. “I needed somebody who had an equal mix of innocence, sexuality, and badassery, and Blake was the perfect embodiment of all those qualities. It was my first time working with her, and before I cast her I gave her the same speech I give everybody else: ‘Look, this is not for everybody. It’s gonna be long hours on set, tons of costume fittings, and as many takes as I need to make this perfect.’”
Blossom enthused about playing the female web-slinger.
"Being cast as Gwen Stacy has been the highlight of my career," she said. "I was so excited to be brought onto the project and could not wait to get to my first fitting. I haven’t worn a mask in any of my scenes so it was a fun challenge to take on. Tyler was a wonderful scene partner and we had so much fun rehearsing our lines! Being the new addition to the Marvel AxelVerse is such an honor and I’m looking forward to seeing where Gwen’s story takes her next."
The final scene also “resolves the contentious yet hilarious ‘bromance’ between Spider-Man and Deadpool (Seth Gamble),” said a rep.
Gamble, portraying the "merc with a mouth" throughout the Marvel AxelVerse, expressed his enthusiasm about "Spideypool" and his admiration for Braun.
"I’m so proud of what we’ve all accomplished with this movie," he said. "The experience was amazing, and I knew right out the gate we were going to create something that would have the comic fans overjoyed and excited. It is by far the funniest film I’ve ever had the honor of being a part of and there’s no doubt that I have to thank Axel Braun for this. I know I’ve said this in many different ways, but he truly has been such a teacher and friend to me and I still am in awe every single day, seeing the drive and the consistency in his commitment to deliver such detailed movies that are love letters to the fans."
The final episode of “Spideypool XXX: An Axel Braun Parody,” featuring Blake Blossom and Tyler Cruise, is now available exclusively on Wicked.com.
