Summary
- Spider-Verse fan art envisions Emma Stone as the live-action Spider-Woman Gwen Stacy in the upcoming Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.
- Stone’s potential return as Gwen Stacy comes from her beloved previous portrayal of Gwen in The Amazing Spider-Man movies.
- With the introduction of live-action elements in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Stone may have the opportunity to reprise her role in the animated franchise.
Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse fan art makes Emma Stone the live-action Spider-Woman Gwen Stacy. The Spider-Verse films have featured Hailee Steinfeld’s Gwen in a prominent role, with the character having even more focus in the second movie in the franchise, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. With multiple versions of Gwen Stacy teased to appear in the trilogy finale, Stone, who played Gwen Stacy in both The Amazing Spider-Man movies, could potentially appear as one of Gwen’s variants in the delayed Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.
On Instagram, digital artist @venomhology shared a stylized look at Stone as the live-action Spider-Woman Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.
The fan art comes after a famous Hollywood hairstylist shared a photo of Stone looking like Spider-Woman Gwen Stacy, with the actress’ new look being very similar to the animated character.
How Likely Is Emma Stone’s Gwen Stacy To Appear Again?
Stone’s last appearance as Gwen Stacy did not end well for the character, as Gwen fell to her death in 2014’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2. That event deeply impacted Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man, making him grow bitter and stop pulling his punches against villains, as was revealed when Garfield returned as his version of Peter Parker in the multiversal Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Since the Marvel Cinematic Universe brought together Garfield, Tobey Maguire, and Tom Holland as their versions of Spider-Man, Stone making a return as Gwen Stacy in a future MCU project that centers on the multiverse like 2027’s Avengers: Secret Wars is a real possibility. Fans have also been campaigning for The Amazing Spider-Man 3 to be made, and given that the best part of that franchise was the relationship between Peter and Gwen, Stone would likely be called to return if the movie ever gets greenlit.
With Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse introducing live-action elements and characters to the animated franchise, Stone could also return as Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. The movie is teased to feature multiple Gwen variants, and given Stone’s popularity as the character, she might make an appearance. Given the multiple confirmed and possible projects in which Stone could return as Gwen Stacy, as well as the popularity of the multiverse in superhero media at the moment, the chances for Stone to play Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse or another movie are looking good.
