Warner Bros Interactive has confirmed in a new trailer that Shelob will be part of the plot in Middle-earth: Shadow Of War. It does appear for the most part that she is allied with Talion, but looks can always be deceiving. After all she doesn’t look very spider like in the footage below.
Middle-earth: Shadow Of War will be out October 10th for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

I don’t understand why a giant spider has become a person. Can anybody shed some light on this?

It’s just to wind up the bottom half of the internet who get all upset when something (Ghostbusters, Doctors, Spiders) turns into a lady.

So Shelob is a woman? Queelaag, is that your cousin?
Either the lore version of Shelob has always been this and Jackson went with a different direction or Shelob gets turned into a big ass spider. Or we get Shelaaag as a boss fight. But yeah, why Shelob? Couldn’t they have done this as a new character?
Just odd.

No she has never been portrayed as a woman before. Well not in anything I’ve seen or read. She has always been female however.
