The team of Spider-Man 3 by Tom Holland is turning up to be a massive collection of characters, and it’s apparent that the multiverse is very involved. Previous rumors have emerged that Electro by Jamie Foxx and Doctor Strange by Benedict Cumberbatch will return in the much-anticipated prequel.
Also, several rumors from various sources have revealed that Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield will return to play their respective iterations of Spider-Man in the MCU film, likely implying that a Spider-Verse plot for live-action is very much in play.And now, with the announcement of the return of Alfred Molina as Doctor Octopus in Jon Watts’ Spider-Man 3, new details have appeared that will undoubtedly excite fans.Collider shared in a study that, alongside Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, Kirsten Dunst would also return as Mary Jane Watson in Spider-Man 3.
However, the outlet found out that the return of Stone would depend on her birth. Stone’s return, as a result, is not definitive.It would be fun to see the return of both Kirsten Dunst and Emma Stone to their respective roles in Spider-Man. This means that after Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy events, viewers will have the ability to hear more about what happened to Dunst’s Mary Jane Watson.On the other side, it would be difficult to understand the return of Gwen Stacy, especially after the death of the character in The Incredible Spider-Man 2, but this is where the multiverse comes in. There’s a good possibility that Emma Stone would instead represent an alternative iteration of Gwen Stacy in the form of Spider-Gwen if the MCU chooses to double down on the concept of the multiverse.Spider-Gwen has already been effectively featured in Sony’s Into the Spider-Verse animated film, and the character’s live-action appearance will help fuel audience expectations for Spider-Man 3.All and all, it’s fair to say that Spider-Man 3 is shaping up to be a celebration of the entire Spider-Man franchise’s past and current iterations. That’s a positive thing for viewers, if anything because the threequel provides a unique chance to showcase any live-action version of Spider-Man shockingly and thrillingly.
