Bryce Dallas Howard Compares Her Gwen Stacy To Emma Stone's 'Amazing Spider-Man' Role



She might have been Spider-Man's first love, but it's taken an awfully long time for Gwen Stacy to get some time in the live-action spotlight. Spider-fans' patience appears to be paying off, however, as the platinum-blonde girl who steals Peter Parker's heart will finally be the leading lady in Sony's upcoming franchise reboot, "The Amazing Spider-Man."

Of course, "Amazing Spider-Man" actress Emma Stone won't be the first to play Gwen Stacy on the big screen. That honor goes to Bryce Dallas Howard, who portrayed Gwen Stacy in 2007's "Spider-Man 3." With both actresses appearing in the upcoming film "The Help," MTV News made sure to ask Howard about the weird convergence of roles.

"I loved doing ['Spider-Man 3']," said Howard. "I was only involved in one of the Spider-Man films and hoped to be in more, but I also understood that whatever choices they were going to make about the project were going to be right and good for the franchise."

"When I heard about what they were going to do, I thought that was kind of an inspired incarnation," she continued. "It's going to be brilliant. And when I heard that Emma was going to be Gwen Stacy, I thought it was perfect."

Howard didn't shy away from making bold predictions about Stone's portrayal of the character, either. "I admire [Emma's] talent so much, and she's going to kick my butt," she laughed.

"The Amazing Spider-Man" is scheduled for a July 2012 release.

Funny how only redheads have played Gwen Stacy so far.

Emma Stone is a natural blonde.
[info]vehiclesshockme 17th-May-2011 08:22 pm (UTC)
Emma isn't a natural redhead.
[info]baratheon 17th-May-2011 08:36 pm (UTC)
This statement is true.
[info]brand929 17th-May-2011 08:52 pm (UTC)
Even though Emma isn't a nautrsl redhead, I still get what you mean. I agree.
[info]screwhim 17th-May-2011 09:51 pm (UTC)
Emma should pretend to be a natural redhead.

yep
[info]dazedpuckbunny 17th-May-2011 08:21 pm (UTC)
They're both adorable. Bryce's Stacey was kind of an embarrassing afterthought. Not really Bryce's fault though, not like she had anything to work with.

Although I LOVE Emma Stone

OMG how Emma is standing with her hands is how I ALWAYS stand lol. People comment on it all the time and ask if I'm cold or nervous or something. I JUST LIKE IT OK? So thank you Emma for looking as awkward as I always look.

Tell them you're secretly a T-Rex and rawr at them.

I stand like that too :P
[info]screwhim 17th-May-2011 09:52 pm (UTC)
You should start figuring out things to do with your hands.
Like smoking or hand jobs.
[info]ohido 17th-May-2011 11:40 pm (UTC)
i actually learned to speak with my hands like that in my public speaking class. i mean, a little lower but pretty much just like that. NORMAL!

And now I have Pop it Like it's Hot in my head.

Thanks a lot, icon. :(

Still awesome though.

wasn't gwen stacy only in the movie for like 3 seconds, she barely even registered.
[info]vainandbitter 17th-May-2011 08:25 pm (UTC)
to me it's such a wasted opportunity not doing something completely different, like setting in the 50's and having a black spiderman like some people said
[info]extremisttt 17th-May-2011 08:26 pm (UTC)
Can anyone quickly explain where the switch up from Mary Jane to Gwen comes? I thought MJ was like.. the love of this life and shit
[info]eachtoeach 17th-May-2011 08:31 pm (UTC)
Who Peter Parker's "true love" is is up to interpretation, but Gwen was his first love until she was killed by the Green Goblin. Parker's relationship with Mary Jane begins after her death.

oh shit, thank you bb! The movies fucked up my interpretation of all that.
[info]eachtoeach 17th-May-2011 08:29 pm (UTC)
Howard's Stacey was an embarrassment. I mean the whole movie was, but they really shouldn't have even included her -- like the only thing about her that was loyal to the source was that she was blonde.
[info]kewlkidv 17th-May-2011 08:58 pm (UTC)
I can't even say I remember her role in #3
[info]snowtears4 17th-May-2011 09:16 pm (UTC)
she didn't do anything but fall off/out of a building, so you didn't miss anything
[info]honesttoblog 17th-May-2011 09:06 pm (UTC)
Bryce seems like one of the nicest people.
[info]coco_belle 17th-May-2011 09:14 pm (UTC)
Love them both. Hope they double date with Kieran and Seth.
[info]_underwhelmed 17th-May-2011 09:15 pm (UTC)
did bryce really think she would come back to play opposite a whole new cast? they're only a few years apart but bryce looks a lot older than andrew garfield too
[info]endingonfire 17th-May-2011 09:15 pm (UTC)
Wow Bryce, and to think I'd almost forgotten about Spiderman 3. Thanks a fucking lot.
[info]jennyholly2 17th-May-2011 09:19 pm (UTC)
i watched Easy A today...it was okay.
[info]missy_jess 17th-May-2011 09:44 pm (UTC)
Bryce is really cute. Although, IMO, her most enviable role is that of the Kate Spade spokesmodel.

If she gets free stuff, of course. I assume she gets lots of free stuff.

[info]greyfilm 17th-May-2011 11:25 pm (UTC)
Both of these women should have been Mary Jane, tbh.
[info]prophecypro 17th-May-2011 11:40 pm (UTC)
Bryce was barely a part of that movie
[info]so_patriarchal 18th-May-2011 12:40 am (UTC)
i still don't understand how they are doing ANOTHER spiderman movie
