The Spider-Gwen (2025) first trailer opens with a sweeping view of New York City, but this time, we’re not following Peter Parker. The focus shifts to Gwen Stacy (played by Emma Myers), whose life has taken a dramatically different turn after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home. A voiceover from Gwen echoes, “I never thought I’d be the one wearing the mask. But this city… it needed me.”
Cutting to her life as a teenager, Gwen is shown balancing high school life with her new responsibilities as Spider-Gwen. In contrast to Peter Parker’s brooding nature, Gwen’s take on being a superhero is more colorful and dynamic, her athleticism and quick wit showcased in montage sequences of her swinging across the city, stopping crime, and embracing her new role as a hero. However, things take a darker turn when a new threat emerges in the form of the villain Carnage, creating chaos in the city with his violent and destructive rampage.
The trailer shifts to fast-paced action scenes where Spider-Gwen faces off against this brutal villain, pushing her powers and resolve to their limits. Along the way, she crosses paths with Peter Parker (Tom Holland), who offers guidance and mentorship as Gwen struggles with her own insecurities. Peter reminds her that being a hero is about more than just the powers—it’s about responsibility.
Glimpses of Gwen’s emotional journey are sprinkled throughout the trailer, highlighting her relationship with her father, Captain Stacy, who is unaware that his daughter is the masked vigilante he’s been tasked with apprehending. The tension rises as Gwen faces a moral dilemma: reveal her secret identity to protect the ones she loves, or continue to fight in the shadows.
The trailer crescendos with a high-stakes battle between Spider-Gwen and Carnage on a collapsing skyscraper, as Gwen’s voiceover returns: “I might not be Peter Parker, but this is my fight. And I won’t back down.”
The final shot shows Spider-Gwen triumphantly standing on top of the skyscraper, her iconic white and pink suit glowing in the moonlight.
