5. Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy in The Amazing Spider-Man
MJ may be the most iconic of all Spidey’s girls, but a new generation of web-slinging wannabes are going to be swooning over Emma Stone’s Gwen Stacy for a long time to come.
Stone has made her career out of getting with nerds (see Zombieland, Superbad, Easy A, etc…) and Parker is the ultimate nerd. By the end of the movie though, Gwen was loved by far more than just nerds. She became an iconic feminine hero within minutes. Instead of the usual method of the attractive girl avoiding the hero until they’re famous, Gwen wants to be involved with Peter, or at least is nice to him, even before he’s bitten. It was that first moment when she makes sure Peter knows his own name that she won audiences over, and the rest of the movie just fueled the infatuation.
I know it’s in the comics, but please Marc Webb, I’m begging you, don’t kill Gwen off. At least not so soon. We’ve only started to see how incredibly cute her and Peter are together, and she’s gonna be snatched away from us far before her time. Ditch the trilogy plans, make it an 8-part series, and kill her off in part 7 or something. Maybe by then we’ll have had our fill of Gwen. As it stands though, The Amazing Spider-Man was only a small introduction to the sexiest of the Stacy clan.
