The Amazing Spider-Man: 9 Predictions For His Cinematic Universe
3. Gwen Stacy Survives TASM2, Despite The Hints & Spoilers
The next two auguries on this list coincide with one another, exchanging places to better explain two very different scenarios for what might happen in TASM2. They cover hot topics that, by now, have caught the eye of every fan paying close attention to what's been occurring on the production of TASM2. The outside chance of Gwen Stacy biting the dust in the sequel has bandied about since Emma Stone was caught wearing a very familiar dress during production, the same dress Stacy wore when she was killed by the Green Goblin. The issue regarding Gwen's fate in TASM2 is massive indeed, leading many to believe she may not pull through when the credits start rolling. This prediction is to clarify that that may not be the case if weighty matters go a certain route. Gwen Stacy seeing the light of day after TASM2 is always a plausible theory, with Marc Webb incorporating the famous dress only to tease the minds of the fans and lead them with down the garden path. With all Peter Parker has to deal with juggling a relationship while realising OsCorp is the behind-the-scenes villain and continuing the puzzle of discovering the fate of his parents, Gwen is noticeably caught in the crossfires of every conflict. It's almost as if the marketing is setting up her death, but let's play What If here: Movie trailers, clips, and interviews tend to let slip very vital information from time to time. Sometimes it's intentional, other times it's a rouse to throw us off the scent. Many a movie has gotten away with its spoiler schemes, and TASM2 may be one of them if it's conveying Gwen Stacy as the sacrificial character of the film. Because, quite simply, she may might die after all. It's a terrific fan-baiting marketing campaign, but it's even more brilliant when it throws a curve ball. Gwen Stacy's "death" might be that curve ball. Even though the trailers gave an important plot point away, with Spider-Man saving Gwen's life during a surely fatal fall, it may be the perfect rouse to set up the future of the series. Having Gwen continue her path in TASM3 or 4 would surely grant stronger themes, especially if Mary Jane Watson or Felicia Hardy step in to complicate matters. But no matter what the outcome, everyone will be keeping their eyes on anything gyrating around Gwen Stacy in TASM2.
