In some of the first pictures we saw of Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy in the upcoming Spider-Man reboot, it appeared that she was at a funeral. Speculation arose that her father George Stacy, being played by Denis Leary may have been the unfortunate guest of honour.
In the comics George Stacy was killed in the crossfire of a battle between Spidey and Doctor Octopus. In a brief comment to MTV Splashpage Leary remains tight lipped about it but may have inadvertantly given something else away.
As far as we know, Doc Ock doesn’t factor into Sony’s reboot of the storied franchise, but there was still speculation: did these photos suggest George Stacy dies in the film? That’s the question we put recently to Denis Leary, who plays Stacy — and his answer could merit a SPOILER ALERT. You’ve been warned!
So he won’t say if his character dies, but he did casually admit that it was at the end of the film. However, he also seemed distracted by some crowds nudging him and may have overlooked that part of the question as well, and then we can assume he DIDN’T admit it was at the end of the film.
And if it WAS at the end of the film, and Gwen is in attendance, we can speculate that Gwen doesn’t die in this first chapter as people are anticipating.
So its still all guessing upon guessing here.
I am hoping Gwen is around for a bit and we don’t rush her demise. The reboot is still being met with resistance from some who feel it is “too soon” but they are taking a different look at Spider-Man, so I hope that overcomes it.
It will be hard enough not comparing it to the previous films, but if they rush into the timeframe that the Raimi films populated, it will be hard not to.

it could be uncle bens.
it could be uncle bens.
Thanks , I’ve recently been searching for information approximately this subject for a while and yours is the greatest I have found out so far. However, what about the conclusion? Are you positive in regards to the source?
Maybee it’s Uncle Ben, who knows what version we get, I’m just glad were gettin’ one soon.
Spidey Forever!
Question, is uncle ben in this movie at all?
Martin Sheen (Ben) & Sally Field (Aunt May)
good stuff!
Also if memory serves, (comic spoiler alert)
Gwen dies at the hands of the Green Goblin: Norman tosses her off a bridge and Spidey webs her, but the speed of her fall is too much and her neck snaps as the web recoils.
Since Gobby isn’t in this film, unless they are planning to change the way Gwen gets offed, she’s got another film in her.
By that logic, we shouldn’t expect George Stacy to die either. He dies in the fallout of a fight with Doc Octopus, who is also not in this film.
But anything can happen.
They could easily replace the Goblin with the Lizard and get the same effect. They already used the Spidey Goblin bridge thing in the previous movie. They even switched Gwen for MJ. Movie convention dictates they will have to make some changes to achieve the same results of Gwen’s untimely death.(If she dies at all in these versions)
Leary also said that he couldn’t say what happens, in the same breath, in the final ep of Rescue Me.
Maybe they are going to kill aunt may, just to change things up.
