Should Gwen Stacy appear in MCU Spider-Man franchise?

[Gemini Saga]

Before her apperances in the terrible last three Spidey's movies, do you think Gwen should appears in the future Spider-Man's movie? If you voted "yes", how could she be show and what should be her role in the new movies? If you voted "no", why should she be forgotten in this new franchise?

[Confuzzled]

I voted Whatever coz I really just care for MJ being the OTL.

[Kevinroc]

You should clarify what you mean by "appears."

Do you mean as a major character? Or do you mean as a girl in Peter's class that he talks to once and is essentially just an Easter Egg for fans?

Because if it's the latter, "whatever." But I take it you meant the former. That you want Gwen to serve as a major character in the MCU Spider-Man films. And if that's the case, the answer is "no." It's too soon after the Amazing Spider-Man films.

[Phantom Roxas]

No. Bring back Mary Jane. Besides, using someone other than Gwen would help differentiate this movie from the ASM films, and the Raimi series will have been over for a decade by the time the new Spider-Man movie comes out.

Crazy idea here. New love interest for the movies, if there must be one in Peter's young life. A completely new and original character.

I have no problem with Gwen being in the film, though. Peter needs his supporting cast. I'd just try to find a new role for her, and same with MJ.

[SpiderNerd]

I'd say no. Emma Stone did too good of a job in the ASM films, so they can't re-do Gwen for a long time.

[RedQueen]

I feel like her story has been told--well by the way with Emma Stone. MJ would be a great way to distance themselves from those movie because MJ hasn't been given a lot of justice in the way that Gwen has.

[Pav]

If Peter is going to be portrayed as a high schooler, than it stands to reason that a high school cast of supporting characters would be needed. I say just go for broke and give us all the major people as high H.S. classmates: MJ, Gwen, Harry, Flash, whomever.

But honestly, I haven't been excited by a Spidey movie in quite awhile, and I'd like be. I doubt the love interest will make much difference to me.

-Pav, who still thinks Spider-Man 2 was the cream of the crop...

[Zeitgeist]

I think anyone who's been a notable old school supporting character (chronologically or retconned) should be in the new Spider-Man franchise, since this will be the most important series of Spidey films evar. Gwen is intrinsic to Spidey's earlier years, so yes, definitely.

But in terms of love interests for the films
PETER x BRANT 2017

[Scott Taylor]

Personally I would like to see both MJ and Gwen in the background. With their respective personalities of JRjr. MJ being a party girl, fun person and Gwen being a stuck up, prissy former beauty queen with a crush on Peter.

[Lee]

Sure. But it might be best to save her for the college years. She was already very prominent in the previous movies, and by the time the college era comes around it would be ideal to have major new cast members to introduce.

[Mister Mets]

I think they should wait a few years, but at some point, sure.


Or have Emma Stone pop up as Spider-Gwen in the third MCU Spider-Man film.

She said at one point that she wouldn't be opposed to it. I know it'll never ever happen, but we can dream.

[Celgress]

I say sure she should.

[Keeper of the Crows]

Good question! For me it depends on how many films the new franchise is going to have. I'd prefer the first film to downplay the romance aspect, or at least have it be a minor crush like Liz Allen or Betty. But as Peter gets older, I wouldn't mind seeing one of the traditional love interests return. It's kind of a shame the TASM franchise tried to do the death of Gwen Stacy--if this franchise introduces both Gwen and MJ, they could have done the proper storyline, but as Kevinroc pointed out--it might be too soon to bring Gwen back right away at this point. Like Lee said, it could be better to save her for college.
