What Gwen Stacy Variants Could Appear In Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse?

In addition to the various Gwen Stacy variants that exist within the multiverse, the Spider-Gwen: Gwenverse comic book miniseries released in 2022 showcased the character embarking on her own Spider-Verse adventure. Throughout the series, Gwen encountered a diverse range of multiverse versions of herself, each inspired by different Marvel heroes such as Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor, among others.

Expanding on the introduction of live-action universes and characters in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, it is possible for one of the previous actresses who portrayed Gwen Stacy to make a return. Bryce Dallas Howard, who had a minor role as Gwen in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3, could potentially reprise her character in a similar manner to Donald Glover's portrayal of Prowler in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Additionally, Emma Stone, who gained fame for her portrayal of Gwen Stacy in The Amazing Spider-Man movies, may also have a role in the film.

In Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, there is potential for the appearance of a multiverse version of Gwen Stacy, with Emma Stone reprising her role as the Spider-Gwen variant that fans have long been requesting. Additionally, there may be some antagonistic versions of Gwen Stacy that could cause trouble for Miles Morales, including the eerie Carnage Gwen Stacy from the comic books. On the other hand, it could also be an opportunity to introduce a live-action Gwen Stacy variant portrayed by Hailee Steinfeld, creating a surprising and exciting moment in the film.
