Issa Rae is joining the Spiderman family. On her Instagram story, Rae revealed that she will be living out a childhood dream by lending her voice to the upcoming animated film, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
“The way I have loved Spider-Man since the third grade,” she posted to her Instagram story. “A dream come true.”
Rae will be voicing the character Jessica Drew aka Spiderwoman. Shameik Moore and Hailee Steinfeld are also members of the voiceover cast.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which is a sequel to the Academy-Award winning 2018 film Into the Spider-Verse, will be premiering in theaters on Oct. 7, 2022.
Rae has been securing many deals and new ventures for the past few years. She recently signed a five-year deal between her Hoorae media company and HBO, HBO Max and Warner Bros. so she could continue to bring her brilliant ideas to our TV sets. She even ventured into the music business and founded her own record label, Raedio Records. Rae is currently filming the highly anticipated final season of her HBO hit series, Insecure, but even when that series says farewell we can still enjoy her comedic delivery on A Black Lady Sketch Show. The Emmy-nominated series was recently renewed for a third season.
