Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse brought Gwen Stacy back as one of its leading characters, and her return has begun a trend of cosplays around the world. Following the trend, popular cosplayer and Twitter user @KomoriAnastasia (Anastasia Komori) posted a spot-on cosplay of Gwen Stacy on June 27.
Komori is famous for her amazing anime-related Cosplays in the past. Now for a change, she has brought an animated Marvel character to life. Her accuracy has garnered a lot of praise and interest from fans of Spider-Gwen from the latest Spider-Verse sequel.
Anastasia Komori’s amazing Gwen Stacy cosplay
The short blond hair with the added pink is classic Gwen Stacy from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. But the “beach episode” isn’t the only Gwen cosplay that Komori has created. She also posted another “schoolgirl Gwen” cosplay on June 25.
Her followers on Twitter have shown nothing but praise for her Gwen Stacy makeover. The following tweets show the love and affection they have expressed toward Komori’s latest cosplay attempts:
While Komori has been amazing with her Gwen makeovers, it’s likely that even more cosplayers will come up with more Gwen cosplays in the future. First, we have the SDCC coming up in July, which will be followed by multiple Spider-Gwen-related projects that Sony is developing. So, she might become an internet sensation in the coming years.
Spider-Gwen's future explained
Sony has enormous plans for Spider-Gwen as she is set to lead a Spider-Verse team to help Miles Morales in Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. Besides that, an all-female Spider-Verse movie is also said to be under development.
Since Miles Morales is about to show up in the live-action Spider-Man movies of the MCU, we could see Spider-Gwen following him to the MCU as well. While Hailee Steinfeld voices Spider-Gwen in the Spider-Verse movies, she plays Kate Bishop in the live-action MCU. So, it will be interesting to see who gets cast as Gwen Stacy when she finally shows up in the live-action space.
