Spider-Woman
Bringing Spider-Woman to the big screen seems like such a no-brainer, it makes no sense why it hasn’t happened yet. Jessica Drew is her own kickass superhero, but the fact that she shares the Spider brand with Peter Parker would surely give her an instant popularity boost. Come on, Marvel, get on it!
Drew has been around since 1977 but the character really took off when she was added to the roster of the New Avengers in 2005. From there, she became a top agent of S.W.O.R.D., the space-oriented counterpart to S.H.I.E.L.D. Naturally, she was also a member of A-Force and so is practically begging for a spot in an all-female Marvel movie.
The only issue is that Spider-Woman might be one of those characters whose rights are too complicated to unpick, meaning no one can use her. For instance, Sony might have a claim to her due to her connection to Spider-Man. However, Marvel and them managed to make it work with that much more lucrative character, so surely they could come to some sort of an agreement over Jessica, right? After all, it’s not like Sony seems to be using her in their spinoff universe.
