Sony’s animated ‘Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse’ is rumored to bring back two past live-action Gwen Stacy variants, raising excitement about potential additional cameos. Bryce Dallas Howard, who portrayed Gwen Stacy in Sam Raimi’s ‘Spider-Man 3,’ and Emma Stone, known for her role in ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ series, are reportedly set to appear alongside Shameik Moore’s animated Miles Morales.
The inclusion of Donald Glover’s live-action cameo as Aaron Davis in ‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’ established a canonical link between live-action and animated Spider-Verse universes. This revelation opens up possibilities for various cameos, including nods to Tobey Maguire’s and Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man franchises.
The interconnectedness of Sony’s Spider-Verse movies was further highlighted with appearances from different universes, like the live-action Venom universe and the Lego Spider-Man universe. Maguire and Garfield’s Spider-Men were even shown via hologram recording to Moore’s Miles Morales.
Fans have speculated about Stone’s potential return since her social media post featuring a hairstyle reminiscent of Gwen Stacy’s animated counterpart. However, amid Marvel’s secretive nature, nothing has been officially confirmed or debunked.
With Sony’s movie delays, ‘Beyond the Spider-Verse’ may not meet its 2024 release, allowing more time for potential live-action cameos. As anticipation builds, fans eagerly await further updates on the rumored appearances in the highly anticipated animated sequel.
