The movie’s recent social media move is gathering a lot of attention among fans, and not just Marvel fans. In a recent sequence of tweets, Sony Pictures’ official Twitter account offered Spider-Man avatars to several celebrities, including different actors, musicians, comedians, and tennis and soccer players. What certainly caught everyone’s attention was the avatar of Serena Williams as a spiderwoman. The former world number one’s look of her parallel universe avatar represented her fearless aura and her amazing style.

She had an all-black look and had her hair tied up in a pony, and it is safe to say that tennis fans will definitely fall in love with her superhero looks. Not only that, the former tennis player is a massive fan of Marvel and admires Spider-Man himself.

Along with the 23-time Grand Slam champion, the list has the Golden State Warriors Stephen Curry, soccer player Son Heung-min, singer Nick Jonas, and American comedian, Tiffany Haddish. Along with them, Brazilian singer Anitta, musician Bad Bunny, and well-known director, Guillermo del Toro, also got their own spiderman avatars.
