Lady in the Water Becomes Gwen Stacy for Spidey 3

Bryce Dallas Howard (THE VILLAGE, LADY IN THE WATER) is in final talks with Columbia Pictures to play the role of Peter Parkers doomed love Gwen Stacy in SPIDER-MAN 3, according to THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER. Stacy is an iconic character in SPIDER-MAN lore being Parkers first love from high school who was killed by the Green Goblin during a bridgetop battle that was quite similar to the battle that occurred in the first SPIDER-MAN film.

The details of the third film in the trilogy are being kept quite secret. However, it has been announced that Stacy will not die in the film. Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst and James Franco are returning as Parker/Spider-Man, Mary Jane Watson and Harry Osborn (the Green Goblins son) respectively. Thomas Haden Church has been cast as villain Sandman and Topher Grace will play a yet-to-be-revealed baddie as well.

Laura Ziskin and Marvel Studios' Avi Arad are producing from a story by director Sam Raimi and Ivan Raimi. Alvin Sargent penned the screenplay. Matt Tolmach and Shannon Gaulding are shepherding for the studio.
