Emma Stone Denies Appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home

May 31, 2021

Earlier this month, Golden Globe nominee Andrew Garfield was the latest Spider-Man vet to debunk his much-speculated appearance in Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios’ upcoming Spider-Man: No Way Home. Now, in a recent interview with MTV News, Oscar-winning actress Emma Stone has finally addressed the circulating rumors about her potential appearance in the Tom Holland-led Marvel Cinematic Universe feature. Just like her The Amazing Spider-Man co-star, Stone quickly denied the rumors of her involvement, confirming that she won’t be reprising her role as Gwen Stacy.

“I have heard those rumors,” Stone said. “I don’t know if I’m supposed to say anything, but I’m not [involved]. I’m not. I don’t know what you’re supposed to respond as an alumnus (laughs)…”

The Cruella star also went to open up about her experience in working on the Amazing Spider-Man films, revealing that even though it was challenging to do, she still had a great time because of how much she loved working with director Marc Webb, and the whole team behind the Andrew Garfield-led Spider-Man films.

Emma Stone channels her dark side in @cruella, but this isn’t her first big blockbuster. She spoke with @joshuahorowitz about her fond memories on the set of #SpiderMan – and those @SpiderManMovie casting rumors.

Like WandaVision, it has been confirmed that No Way Home will tie into the events of Sam Raimi’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

The third installment to the MCU’s Spider-Man films is also expected feature the return of most of the first two films’ cast including Emmy winner Zendaya (Euphoria, Dune) as MJ, Jacob Batalon (50 States of Fright) as Ned, Marisa Tomei (The King of Staten Island) as Aunt May, Tony Revolori (The French Dispatch) as Flash and Hannibal Buress (Tag) as Coach Wilson.

Following the casting of Jamie Foxx, many casting rumors about the highly-anticipated project have been continuing to circulate online, with the most popular and important one being Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s potential return to the Spider-Verse. The most recent casting rumors include Charlie Cox, who will reportedly reprise his fan-favorite role as Daredevil as well as Willem Dafoe’s return as Green Goblin.

Spider-Man: No Way Home is scheduled to hit theaters on December 17, 2021.
