Bella Ramsey As Spider-Man? What The Fans Say

by

The recent comment made by Bella Ramsey regarding potentially portraying Spider-Man has caused quite a stir, leading to intense discussions and debates on various platforms such as (formerly known as) Twitter and other social media sites.

Following the interview with Variety on Sunday, there has been a debate among fans about whether Ramsey ought to don the mask, with differing opinions emerging.

On our Facebook page alone, we’ve reached over a million people with thousands of reactions.

Reactions Online

Following the interview going viral, we asked Grok to summarize the reactions on X.

No surprise, a majority of the fans are against the idea of Bella Ramsey playing Spider-Man.

Negative Reactions (~60–65%)

Critics contend that Spider-Man is essentially a male character, and they occasionally make light of this notion using terms such as “Spider-Them”. Some have even suggested to Ramsey, who prefers non-binary pronouns and identifies outside the binary genders, to steer clear of Marvel’s universe due to Spider-Man’s male identity.

  • One post called it “backwards logic” and “stupid.”
  • Others warned it would “destroy” Marvel or said they should cast Spider-Gwen instead.
  • A Fan even started a #SaveSpiderMan campaign noting, “Because Bella Ramsey shouldn’t be Spider-Man, it’s “MAN”. Bella is a “GIRL.”

Supportive Reactions (~20–25%)

Advocates often praise Ramsey’s acting skills and the “Spider-Verse” concept that any individual can don the mask. To some, this portrayal is entertaining or inspiring, considering Ramsey’s non-binary persona.

  • One fan wrote, “Do it. Make Bella Ramsey the next Spider-Man. It would be the funniest movie ever.”
  • Others suggested Ramsey could appear as a multiverse variant.
  • Defenders reminded critics the comment was clearly made in jest.

Neutral, Humorous, and Meme Reactions (~15–20%)

Another chunk of posts leaned on humor or clarification.

  • Memes imagined the chaos if Ramsey was announced as Spider-Man: “Can you imagine the internet the next day?”
  • Others debated semantics like “Spider-People” vs. “Spider-Man.”
  • Several posts corrected critics by pointing out Ramsey is non-binary, not “a girl.”

Will Bella Ramsey play Spider-Man?

It’s doubtful Bella Ramsey will play Spider-Man.

Actually, I believe in the Sony Marvel contract, at least Peter Parker, has to be a white dude.

In addition to his praise in the interview, Ramsey suggested that Tom Holland’s performance has been exceptional, which might encourage Marvel to introduce a new character role for her.
