Marvel teases Gwen Stacy's return in upcoming Spider-Man storyline with cryptic teaser
It remains unclear whether this storyline will be part of the upcoming Spider-Man series written by Joe Kelly, with artwork by John Romita Jr. and Pepe Larraz, or if it belongs to a separate Spider-Man-related title. Fans are left speculating whether Gwen Stacy's return will be permanent, a multiversal twist, or another unexpected narrative choice by Marvel.
While Gwen Stacy has remained an important figure in Spider-Man lore, her last major solo series concluded in 2022, leaving her largely absent from recent storylines. Her character's death in The Amazing Spider-Man #121 (1973) remains one of the most defining moments in Peter Parker's history. Over the years, Marvel has introduced alternate versions of Gwen, such as Spider-Gwen, but a main continuity resurrection would mark a significant shift.
The teaser artwork, created by Paco Medina and Morry Hollowell, has already sparked widespread discussion among fans. The possibility of Gwen Stacy returning from the dead raises questions about the direction Marvel intends to take with Spider-Man and how it may affect Peter Parker's story.

Spider-Man filming transforms Glasgow city centre into New York set for Brand New Day
Glasgow's city centre has undergone a dramatic makeover as preparations begin for filming Spider-Man: Brand New Day, set to start on August 1. American flags, New York road signs, and U.S.-style set pieces now line Bothwell Street, creating a convincing stand-in for Manhattan. The upcoming Marvel film stars Tom Holland as Peter Parker and Zendaya, with direction by Shang-Chi's Destin Daniel Cretton. The story follows events after No Way Home, as Peter Parker deals with the aftermath of erasing his identity to protect his loved ones. Filming crews were busy installing set pieces and props on Wednesday, drawing fans and onlookers to the area. Among them was local Spider-Man superfan Andrew MacInnes, also known as 'Glasgow's Spider-Man' or 'Daft Spidey.' Wearing a Spider-Man t-shirt and mask while on crutches, MacInnes posed for photos and signed memorabilia. He humorously claims to be the only person to have broken his feet twice while dressed as Spider-Man—once in 2007 after jumping off a shed, and again in July 2025 during a heroes vs. villains birthday party, where he fractured three bones jumping off a chair. Photos captured by Gordon Terris for Newsquest show Bothwell Street's transformation and MacInnes engaging with the crowd, adding local color to the production excitement. Glasgow City Council has confirmed that around 60 roads will be closed during the two-week shoot. Traffic diversions, as well as bus, taxi, and pedestrian restrictions, will be in place for safety and logistical purposes. Commuters have been advised to plan ahead, as delays and congestion are expected around key routes during active filming. The shoot adds to Glasgow's growing profile as a location for major international film productions.

The actor, who originally portrayed Tony Stark/Iron Man, will appear in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, and is also expected to feature in Avengers: Secret Wars.
