Bryce Dallas Howard Would Reprise Role as Gwen Stacy in "Spider-Man": "I Would Always Be Game"

Bryce Dallas Howard is definitely up for reprising her role as Gwen Stacy in the "Spider-Man" franchise, the "Jurassic World Dominion" actor told People on Aug. 15.

"That would be so fun," she said of playing Stacy, once again. "Since we are exploring multiverses — and by we are exploring it, they are exploring it and I'm enjoying it. I would always be game." However, she acknowledged that even she feels that Emma Stone, who played the role alongside Andrew Garfield for the 2012 and 2014 Spider-Man movies, is the ultimate Stacy. "Emma Stone, in my perspective as a fan," she said, "is the definitive Gwen Stacy in that universe."

Howard played Stacy in Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man 3" in 2007, alongside Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane Watson, a role most recently taken on by Zendaya. Maguire appeared with other former Spider-Man, Garfield, alongside Tom Holland's current Peter Parker in "Spider-Man: No Way Home" in 2021. In that film, Garfield's storyline largely hearkened to the death of Stone's Stacy.

Howard was recently seen in June's "Jurassic World 3." "Getting to be Claire [in 'Jurassic World'] has been incredible," she told the outlet. Playing the role has offered her the unique chance to reprise a character onscreen. "What is so interesting for me is I've never played a character before Claire where there was any story beyond the initial one," she said. "In part, that's because I hadn't done TV, and I also would sign on to franchises — because I love franchises — but I would always be in the third movie or, like, the last one, so I'd get killed or something!"
