Emma Stone vaguely swinging in the direction of the MCU is all it takes to make us forget about Andrew Garfield

The only way Marvel and Sony could possibly outshine Andrew Garfield’s comeback in No Way Home is by bringing back his former girlfriend and co-star, two-time Oscar-winner Emma Stone, for Spider-Man 4!

The Buzz Around Emma Stone’s Return

Rumors are swirling that Stone might reprise her role in the Marvel Universe alongside Tom Holland’s Spider-Man. It all started with a viral tweet from a not-so-reliable source, but fans have jumped on the idea, holding onto it like Peter Parker clinging to Gwen at the end of The Amazing Spider-Man 2. I know, a bit too soon!

Fan Excitement

Spider-Man fans are understandably excited. Stone’s portrayal of Gwen Stacy left a lasting impact, drawing tears and hearts during the Amazing Spider-Man series. While there’s no confirmation about her return—especially since her character met a tragic end—fans are reveling in the speculation. One user pointed out that Stone is “a perfect cast for that role,” while another called her the best Gwen seen in any Spider-Man film. The idea of a new love story between Stacy and Parker has fans buzzing, with some believing that Stone’s involvement could turn Spider-Man 4 into a blockbuster.

Multiverse Possibilities

Of course, for Stone to come back, there would need to be some creative storytelling to explain how her character could return after her fate in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. However, given Marvel’s recent ventures into the multiverse, it’s not entirely out of the question. If Garfield and Tobey Maguire can step back into their roles, why can’t Stone join the fun too?

Andrew Garfield’s Cryptic Comments

Adding to the intrigue, Garfield has played coy about his own return in Spider-Man 4. During an appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, he remarked that the assumption of his return “is not unfounded,” but declined to elaborate, saying, “I’m going to decline to comment.” His ambiguous statements have only fueled the speculation surrounding Stone’s potential comeback.

What Stone Has Said

As for Emma Stone, she’s been a bit secretive about the rumors. Before No Way Home released, she denied any involvement, and later expressed uncertainty about returning, citing the challenges she faced while filming The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

There’s speculation that Spider-Man 4 could involve a multiverse battle against symbiotes. If these rumors are accurate, it would create a perfect opportunity for Gwen Stacy to return, perhaps from an alternate timeline where she’s still alive. Until we get official word, all we can do is speculate and enjoy the excitement that comes with it!
