Does the MCU finally have its Gwen Stacy? A rumor seemingly reveals who’s playing the iconic heroine in Spider-Man: Brand New Day!
Where is Gwen Stacy? It has been a question plaguing Tom Holland’s Spider-Man since his earliest days in the MCU. Yet in the years following, Gwen Stacy has exploded from a beloved member of the hero’s supporting cast to a hero strong enough to carry her own animated film. This has left many convinced that Spider-Man: Brand New Day will be where she makes her debut.
This speculation isn’t unfounded. While it has largely been forgotten in speculation about Sadie Sink and Scorpion, perhaps the earliest viral rumor about Spider-Man: Brand New Day focused on Gwen Stacy appearing in the film. And while there has yet to be an actress publicly attached to the part, that doesn’t mean they haven’t been cast.
Who Is Playing Gwen Stacy In Spider-Man: Brand New Day?
A rumor from Majestic_Ucm seems to reveal that actress Kiernan Shipka will be playing Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, with the character seemingly being Spider-Man’s neighbor. While perhaps best known for playing the leading role in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Shipka is no stranger to the silver screen, having taken on roles in Twisters and Red One.
If this rumor is true, it’s likely that Kiernan Shipka’s role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day will be a teaser for her involvement in future projects. Michelle Jones was only a small part of Spider-Man: Homecoming. Continuing that pattern, it’s possible that Gwen Stacy is only a cameo in this film, playing a larger role in future installments.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day swings into theaters July 31st, 2026. Stay tuned for the latest news regarding Spider-Man’s Marvel Cinematic Universe future!
