Issa Rae Excited for ‘Spider-Man’ Debut, Been Reading Comics Since 3rd Grade

Issa Rae is over the moon she’s making her big Marvel debut in the world of animation … because she tells us she’s been a big comic book head since she was a lil’ kid!

We got Issa Thursday at LAX, and we talked about her getting her spidey senses flowing for the upcoming flick “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” — something she’s stoked about for a couple of reasons.

For those unaware, Issa’s playing Jessica Drew — another variant of Spider-Woman … and even though a majority of the film’s plot is kept under wraps, one thing about her character is certain — she’s fighting crime with a bun in the oven!

Issa’s all about representation, but she has a word of warning for any pregnant ladies out there … don’t be fightin’! Regardless, she’s all for the bigger message — that women’s lives don’t need to be put on hold just because they’re having a baby.
