SPIDER-MAN: BEYOND THE SPIDER-VERSE Producers Reveal A Major Spider-Gwen Plot Point In Upcoming Threequel

In Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, we learn that there are certain "canon" events which must happen in the life of every Spider-Man.

A police captain's death is among them, whether it's George Stacy or Miles Morales' father, Jeff Davis, and all signs point to Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse being about proving this grim event can be avoided. Another canon event mentioned is Gwen Stacy's death, so what does that mean for Spider-Gwen? 

During a recent interview on the Crew Call with Anthony D'Alessandro podcast, franchise producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller were asked if we can expect to see more versions of Gwen in the upcoming threequel. 

"Currently, yes," Lord teased before Miller added, "I would say that, yes. It's on the page. I think that that...these things evolve as they go."

"But there's one I'm very excited about," Lord said before Miller interrupted by pointing out, "Yes, I know exactly the one you're talking about. You know the one I'm thinking of, which is based on. I'm not gonna say anything. I'm not gonna say anything."

Miller concluded by adding, "But it is sort of plot-integral, I would say." 

It's going to be very interesting to see more versions of Gwen, particularly as she is typically a victim in Peter Parker's world, meeting her maker at the hands of the Green Goblin. It's hard to say how there will be room to explore this in the final chapter of the trilogy, but perhaps it's a plot point which will be elaborated on in the character's long-rumoured spin-off.

"A contender for the best Spider-Man film yet and easily the greatest animated movie ever made," we recently said in our review of the sequel, "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is a jaw-dropping spectacle, a feast for the senses, and an instant Marvel classic."

Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse arrives in theaters on March 29, 2024.

It could be fun since most have a "Gwen-like" partner, to Spider-Gwen it was Peter/Lizard, but now she's become that person for Miles, but she's also from another Earth and had hers so it gets dicey. There's a lot to play with, especially when it comes to dealing with how integral canon events actually are. Like Tobey managed to save both MJ and the kids in Spider-Man 1 without help nullifying losing his "Gwen-event"; while Garfield saved Holland's MJ stopping that canon event, with neither universe destroyed, then Earth-42 and Miles's timeline are both fine even after the alterations Spot caused. There's clearly more to them than it seems at first glance, and even Miguel O'hara involving Spider-People that haven't had them like SM India should be cause for concern as any Spider-Person on his world or him leaving to another world could mess them up (as Miles inadvertently did in the movie).
