The animated Gwen will make a comeback in Spider-Verse 3, joining the lineup of Spider-Verse superheroes and bringing together the cinematic variants across the multiverse. Gwen Stacy, a character who has grown in popularity in Spider-Man's mythology, was introduced in the Spider-Verse movies as the Earth-62 variant, known as Spider-Woman.
