“Spider-Man 2” is often referred to as one of the best Spider-Man movies ever, so it really would’ve been a feather in Peyton List’s cap to have a role in it at a young age, no matter how small. But it set her on the right path, and she quickly landed successful gigs on TV shows like “All My Children” and other films like “27 Dresses.” And while her role in “Spider-Man 2” ended up on the cutting room floor, it wouldn’t be the last time she had a chance to star in a Spidey project.
10 years after “Spider-Man 2” came out, List had a voiceover role in the animated series “Ultimate Spider-Man” where she plays Emma Ross in the Season 3 episode, “Halloween Night at the Museum” – yes, the same Emma Ross List also played in the Disney Channel series, “Jessie,” where she made a name for herself. The animated episode is a crossover between “Ultimate Spider-Man” and the live-action show where Spidey (Drake Bell) needs the “Jessie” characters’ help in defeating Morgan Le Fey (Grey Griffin).
List also has experience on the DC side of things, as in 2019, she voiced Batgirl in the animated movie “Batman: Hush.” Still, she’s due for another shot at appearing in a live-action superhero movie. List got absolutely ripped for “Cobra Kai,” so she already has the physique and a good deal of training for the fight scenes required of such films, and she would make a pretty good live-action Gwen Stacy if the movies ever go down that route.
