“I look no different from him — Spider-Man should be mine.” Bella Ramsey sent shockwaves through the film industry. Her new look is almost identical to Tom Holland, and a bold proposal during a phone call with Marvel made President Kevin Feige nod and laugh nonstop.
Bella Ramsey has ignited a wildfire across Hollywood with one viral selfie and one audacious phone call. The 22-year-old British star posted a mirror picture showing her new short-cropped hair, sharp jawline, and mischievous grin, looking uncannily like Tom Holland’s Peter Parker.
Within hours, fans flooded social media with side-by-side comparisons captioned “Spider-Bella” and “Gender-swapped Peter Parker is here.” The resemblance was so striking that even Holland himself reacted with three laughing-crying emojis and the words “I’m scared.”
During a Zoom press junket, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige was shown the photo live on air. He stared silently for five seconds, then burst into uncontrollable laughter, unable to speak while wiping tears from his eyes.
Later that evening, Ramsey’s agent patched through an unscheduled call to Feige’s private line. Sources inside Marvel say Bella opened with, “Mr. Feige, I look no different from him. Spider-Man should be mine.”
Feige’s laughter reportedly echoed through the office so loudly that assistants thought he was having a medical episode. After catching his breath, he allegedly replied, “Kid, you just broke the internet and my ribs at the same time.”
The call lasted twenty-seven minutes. Multiple insiders confirm Feige spent most of it giggling while asking Ramsey whether she could do the three-finger web-shooter pose. She immediately demonstrated, prompting another laughing fit.
By morning, #SpiderBella was the global number-one trending topic. Tom Holland posted a video pretending to pack his Spider-Man suit into a box addressed to Ramsey, captioned “Guess I’m retired at 29.”
Sony Pictures executives held an emergency weekend meeting. Although the current Spider-Man contract runs until 2027, studio chairman Tom Rothman reportedly told colleagues, “We have to explore every version of this character while the world is watching.”
Ramsey’s representation at CAA received calls from every major studio within six hours. Disney, Warner Bros, and Netflix all requested urgent meetings about potential Spider-Verse projects featuring the actress in the iconic red-and-blue suit.
Industry analysts estimate a gender-flipped or parallel-universe Spider-Person film starring Ramsey could gross over two billion dollars worldwide, especially with Holland cameo possibilities and the current viral momentum.
Feige has scheduled a secret creative summit next week titled only “Project Web-Slinger 2.0.” Attendees include Spider-Man producers Amy Pascal and Avi Arad, plus writers from Across the Spider-Verse.
Ramsey herself remains playfully coy. When asked by reporters outside a London gym whether she actually wants the role, she smirked and shot an imaginary web at the cameras before disappearing into a waiting car.
Tom Holland appeared on The Tonight Show and spent his entire interview segment joking about training his “successor.” He even taught Jimmy Fallon how to do Bella’s exact hair flip from the viral selfie.
Merchandise companies have already begun producing unofficial “Spider-Bella” T-shirts and Funko Pops. Disney legal sent immediate cease-and-desist letters, but the speed of production suggests official products may be fast-tracked.
Several directors known for groundbreaking superhero films have publicly campaigned to helm the project. Greta Gerwig, Chloé Zhao, and Destin Daniel Cretton all posted spider emojis under Ramsey’s original photo.
Former Spider-Man actors Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield joined the fun. Maguire wrote “Welcome to the club,” while Garfield posted a slow-clap GIF with the words “The best Peter yet.”
Casting directors report an unprecedented flood of young British actresses cutting their hair short in hopes of landing supporting roles in whatever project eventually emerges from the chaos.
Feige wrapped the now-legendary phone call by telling Ramsey, “Keep that haircut. We’re going to need it.” He then immediately texted the entire Marvel creative council: “We have a new problem… and it’s glorious.”
As Disney stock rose three percent on Monday morning purely on speculation, one thing became clear: whether in live-action, animation, or the multiverse, Bella Ramsey has just swung directly into contention for the most coveted superhero crown in cinema.
The Spider-Man mantle has always belonged to an unexpected underdog. This time, the underdog showed up looking exactly like the current hero, only bolder, funnier, and ready to steal the entire franchise with a single photograph and one fearless phone call.
Marvel’s secrecy machine is already in overdrive. Insiders say the working title “Spider-Man: New Web” has been registered in fourteen countries, with Ramsey’s name attached as lead. Shooting could begin as early as summer 2026 if contracts are signed before Christmas.
Social media detectives discovered that Ramsey quietly followed every stunt coordinator from the Holland films used. Her private Instagram story briefly showed her practicing parkour flips on a London rooftop before being deleted within minutes.
Tom Holland’s brother Harry, a frequent stunt double, posted a video of himself teaching Ramsey the iconic upside-down kiss pose. The caption read “Passing the torch… or the web?” and instantly racked up thirty million views.
Kevin Feige appeared on a Disney investor call and, when asked about casting rumors, only smirked and said, “Expect the unexpected. Bella broke the multiverse with one selfie.” Wall Street analysts immediately upgraded Disney stock another two points.
Zendaya, Holland’s girlfriend and MJ actress, posted a heart-eyes emoji under Ramsey’s photo with the words “The family just got cooler.” Fans immediately began demanding a scene where both MJ actresses share the screen.
Sony co-financing executives are reportedly offering Ramsey an unprecedented eight-figure upfront salary plus backend points, the same deal structure once reserved only for Holland. Negotiations are described as “aggressive but joyful.”
Ramsey’s Game of Thrones co-star Pedro Pascal phoned Feige personally to vouch for her work ethic, allegedly saying, “If you don’t cast her, you’re insane.” Pascal then posted a photo wearing a handmade Spider-Bella mask.
Concept artists at Marvel have already delivered thirty different suit designs blending the classic red-and-blue with subtle nods to Lyanna Mormont’s armor. One version glows faintly in the dark, another features hidden bear-claw webbing.
The internet has crowned the potential film “the most anticipated superhero movie never officially announced.” Advance ticket platforms have created placeholder pages that crashed twice from traffic despite showing only the viral selfie.
Whatever the final decision, Bella Ramsey has achieved the impossible: she made Kevin Feige laugh until he cried, made Tom Holland surrender his web-shooters voluntarily, and turned one haircut into the biggest Hollywood earthquake of the decade. The multiverse will never be the same.
