What Has Ike Perlmutter Done To Spider-Gwen Now? (UPDATE: Possibly Nothing)

Robbi Rodriguez is the co-creator of the character Spider-Gwen for Marvel Comics. A character launched during last year's Spider-Verse crossover, that became very popular, span off into her own title which – I believe – was specifically greenlit by Marvel Comics CEO Isaac Perlmutter, as he took a very personal and invested interest in the character, while it seems he pursued the possibility of Spider-Gwen filling the role in the scheduled Untitled Female Spider-Man Movie at Sony.

And making sure the character used was a Marvel, creation not a Sony creation. Which meant a Robbi Rodriguez co-creation.

That was then.

Yesterday, as Ike's choice of President was elected to the highest office, Robbi Rodriguez tweeted the following.

UPDATE: Robbi gets in touch to tell us that the tweets were sent by a friend of his who was joking around about what Robbi would say online. He didn't realise that they had actually done it… 

So… something has happened to Spider-Gwen? Film cancelled? Comic cancelled? Character cancelled? Or has something been done, approved, commissioned with her that Robbi would not approve of?

Is Frank Cho the new series artist?

And no work-for-hire agreement signed? What rights does that mean Robbi might have?

Robbi has subsequently deleted the entirety of his Twitter account, before tweeting these two posts.

I'm guessing that's The Waldo Moment episode…

And lots of people reacting to that now-deleted tweet, above.

Let's watch him draw Spider-Gwen in happier times…
