I don't see why Marvel would make that edict. It's seen how the Sony Spidey movies have been so there is literally nothing to fear. If Sony can't get Peter right then the chances of them taking chances on a Gwen movie is nil.
Le Suck it, Dolphin!

SCOTT SUMMERS AND EMMA FROST DESERVED BETTER.
Now, I know this has sort-of been disproven, with a new statement from the artist - apparently there was some kind of misunderstanding. And the fact that Dan Slott has created like, a BAJILLION new characters for the Spidey-world, quite recently as well, certainly lends credit to the idea that they CAN as a matter of fact, create new characters.
But with all this said... would it actually be a bad thing if they can't created all-new characters? Like has been previously mentioned, Marvel has like, THOUSANDS, and I do mean THOUSANDS of unused characters - even supporting ones, that we haven't seen in years and years and years...
Wouldn't Spider-Gwen be a great place to revisit them, modernized and perhaps with a twist, in this new, great day and age?
Not sure if the update disproved anything. Marvel could have quickly been covering themselves. My main thought on this subject is there seems to be two camps,Marvel is wrong or FOX and Sony is wrong when the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Honestly we don't really have any idea what has and is happening behind the scenes as far as negotiations, who is and isn't willing because they don't usually share that information. We tend to think we have a right to know and that we do know the full story when we probably only have learned very little of the truth. Honestly it's not even our business
