BLAKE BLOSSOM
CAST AS SPIDER-GWEN IN AXEL BRAUN’S ‘SPIDEYPOOL’
After an extensive casting search, four-time AVN Director of the Year Axel Braun and Wicked Comix have announced that 2022 AVN Best New Starlet Blake Blossom has been cast as Gwen Stacy AKA Spider- Gwen, in the director’s latest superhero spoof, Spideypool XXX: An Axel Braun Parody. Spider-Gwen is a heroine from an alter-nate Marvel timeline where Gwen Stacy was bitten by a radioactive spider rather than Peter Parker, leading to her masked vigilante career as Spider-Woman, commonly re-ferred to as Spider-Gwen.
“Blake was just phenomenal,” said Braun, who is in his second year serving as Head of Production for Wicked Pictures. “Her audition was fantastic, but on set she actually surpassed my expectations. From her look and her acting abilities to her extremely physical take on the character of Gwen, she was simply outstanding, and if that weren’t enough she was also a delight to be around. Sexy, funny, thoughtful and 100 percent committed. Not to mention the fact that she possesses the most perfect set of natural boobs in the industry. She absolutely killed it as Spider-Gwen and it doesn’t take a ge-nius to see that this girl has a very bright future ahead of her.”
Gwen Stacy is a character near and dear to the director’s heart, and one whom he initial-ly brought to life over a decade ago in the classic Spider-Man XXX: A Porn Parody, where she was portrayed by Ash Hollywood. Braun felt the need to conduct a large-scale search for the new Gwen due to the fact that Spideypool XXX will mark the first time Spider-Gwen has been depicted in either a live-action mainstream or adult film. While Bryce Dallas Howard portrayed Gwen in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 and Emma Stone assumed the role in The Amazing Spider- Man films with Andrew Garfield, Spider-Gwen’s screen appearances have been limited to the animated Spider-Verse series, where the character is voiced by Hailee Steinfeld.
”When I first got the call from my agent about a super secret role in an Axel Braun paro-dy, I was really nervous about what it could possibly be,” said Blossom. “He vaguely ex-plained and sent me a monologu to memorize and record to send in as the audition. I was waiting on pins and needles to find out if I was going to get this huge role and it couldn’t have panned out better! I’ve always enjoyed the Spider-Man universe and was overjoyed that my character was Gwen Stacy on Earth-65, aka Spider- Gwen!”
Spideypool XXX: An Axel Braun Parody will premiere in 2022 exclusively on Wicked.com.
