But this would contradict the Electro rumor.
They are
not, and I mean
NOT going to have rebooted the franchise, gone back to high school in an attempt to recapture the innocence of Peter Parker and those younger years and make a
point to introduce Gwen Stacey only to have her killed by someone
other than the Green Goblin. Let me restate that: They. Will. Not.
Green Goblin will kill Gwen.
So that either means that they are not going to kill her in the second film (assuming Electro is the villain)
or the Green Goblin/Norman Osborn is the villain in the second film.
It has to be one of these two scenarios. I am of the mind that Webb is going to make this whole trilogy about Gwen and Peter and that she won't die until the final film.
It was my hope that the second film would:
- Continue to build on the Osborn mythology.
- Deepen the connection with Peter's parents.
- Peter gets closer to Gwen.
- We would never meet Mary Jane, but we'd hear about her. Much like in the comics, Aunt May would suggest he go out with her (because Peter and Gwen were on and off).
- Have Norman become the Goblin at the end of the 2nd film and have him battle Spidey throughout the 3rd film.
- Gwen would die at the end of the 3rd film.
- Peter mourns, is lost.
- Aunt May attempts to lift his spirits, introducing him to her friend's niece.
- The last shot of the trilogy would be:
Fade to black.
Credits.
End.
That would be a fitting end to the Gwen Stacy saga, and leave the opportunity for Webb or another director to come in and take these actors and move on with a Mary Jane centric trilogy, completing a Spider-man saga of sorts.
