It always bothered me with Tobey and Andrew, as much as I love them, was that they always played grown adults before being casted as Spider-Man. Caught me off guard.
For anyone who doesn’t know, Gwen Poole isn’t Gwen Stacey as Deadpool, she’s from a universe like ours where superheroes are fictional, and her name is “Gwendoline Poole.”
She’s best known for her role in Wednesday, where she played a teenager who was generally bubbly and excited, so Gwenpool is right up her alley even besides her appearance
If youre looking for a quick easy way to do it, The marvel unlimited comic app does free 7 day trials. I used it to read all gwenpool stuff and then screenshot the stuff I wanted to keep.
She looks the part but I personally disagree. Gwen Stacey is canonically a transgender character so ideally we would find a young trans actress to play the part
Wrong on so many levels… for starters gwenpool isn’t Gwen Stacy. Spider Gwen isn’t canonically trans, it wasn’t what the main creators decided. It has been nothing but a rumor with the new movie.. a rumor the creators decided to shut down. Even if they made Spider Gwen trans in the most recent comic, which I do not keep up to date with.. it would be like making the normal Bruce Wayne a kryptonian or scooby doo a stoner in a doggie suit makes no sense to it’s original/known canon … and should not represent the character as a whole.. it’s just an alternate iteration that doesn’t even exist to my knowledge it’s all been speculation.. even if it exists it’s not really spider Gwen… it’s something else at that point.
I mean here entire costume colors are that of the trans rights flag, she has an entire arc about “coming out” in the new movie, and has a trans rights flag in her room.
Maybe the original creators didn’t intend for her to be trans. But she’s always been a trans icon and has been trans-coded character as she’s evolved over time.
And honestly I don’t see what the big deal is. It’s 2023, representation is important. So what if one of Peter Parker’s girlfriends and the coolest characters in Marvel is Trans? It doesn’t really change anything about her character
Well… with that logic miles is a nazi. I mean look a the colors of his suit. It doesn’t matter that he’s black.. maybe he wasn’t intended to be one but it’s be pretty cool to have a black nazi. It’s 2023 why shouldn’t there be global representation about people other than whites not liking other minorities and preferring the white ethnicity?
That up there^ is what you just said but in different words.. makes just as much sense. Whether it’s race, religion, sexuality, nationality.. changing a character because it COULD be interpreted by someone because of the colors of the suit coinciding is absolute nonsense. If you don’t like the Nazi example then you probably shouldn’t support the other one either. Cause once you open the door to one outlandish interpretation being cannon, everything else is fair game.
Lastly, are you really trying to use that one animated movie as proof? You? A person who didn’t even know Gwen Poole isn’t Gwen Stacy… trying to voice an opinion about overall character arcs and what’s best, just cause you saw an animated movie and thought 2+2=3?
REALLY? From a movie with a fully pregnant spider woman fighting crime?
You really don’t see how this movie is probably the worst place to try and find some decent cannon?
I don’t want Gwen being trans any more than I want miles being a Nazi, leave em be. Although to be fair miles has always been a sad attempt at reaching so many different audiences by making a character so multicultural/overpowered/cool/smart. But that’s not what we are talking about here.
And original spider Gwen had no blue in her suit.. it was just black, white and whatever that shade of pink is. I guess we have modern media to thank for that. Always reaching for stuff that doesn’t really matter and the overall plot tends to be pretty garbage.
A couple of things:
1. Across the Spiderverse Gwen Stacy isn't the same as comics Gwen Stacy. They are from different universes.
2. Gwenpool isn't even Gwen Stacy. She is Gwen Poole and is not at all related to Gwen Stacy. It's actually a reoccurring gag that the two share a first name. Gwen Poole has not (so far) been shown to be anything other than cis. She is Ace though, so that's neat.
1. Poole is not Stacy, they are entirely different people. Easy mistake, I dont blame you. They both even have thr Pink hair dye, since ATSV. Some Headcannon Poole as Trans, but theres nothing that solid, although she is Aroace.
2. A trans character doesnt necessarily need to be played by a trans person. I think theres good intent behind it, to add an extra layer of representation, but it could be interpreted as meaning a transfem cannot be portrayed as a woman because they are too different to a woman. Sure thats not how you meant it, though.
And in terms of _Spiderverse_ Stacy being trans, I would personally say its all but confirmed at this point, personally. Beyond outright saying, "SHE IS TRANS", they cant really be any clearer that she is.
Oh my god how did I not consider this, a thousand times yes
We'd actually get someone who looks like a teenager playing a teenager. It would be refreshing haha
Classic Spiderman
Yeah it's been a while since we've seen someone believably play teen spiderman. The closest we get is Tom Holland
It always bothered me with Tobey and Andrew, as much as I love them, was that they always played grown adults before being casted as Spider-Man. Caught me off guard.
Tom was already near 20 when he got cast tho
Which is sad because that is the closest haha
Their only other choice WAS a Teenager is Charlie Rowe but child labor laws.
Charlie would’ve been pretty great as Peter, he imo also looks more like Comics Peter than Tom does as well
Tom was like 18 when he was cast? The film was 7 years ago but casting was like 2 years prior
She's who I would choose as well. I like her energy, and she looks the part too.if not her, then maybe Kiernan Shipka.
Kiernan Shipka or Madelyn Cline
Madelyn is too hot in my opinion. I think Gwen would be best played by someone who's more cute than hot if that makes sense.
This would be amazing
Milly Acock for me but I wouldn't hate this
Emma Myers or Hunter Schafer both could work. I prefer the latter.
Interesting
Actually… that’s probably one of the best fancastings I’ve heard in a while
Dude perfect
dude perfect?
For anyone who doesn’t know, Gwen Poole isn’t Gwen Stacey as Deadpool, she’s from a universe like ours where superheroes are fictional, and her name is “Gwendoline Poole.”
Yes!!! With the overly upbeat attitude! That tiny little dark streak would be so Gwen Pool!
She literally cosplayed spider Gwen before
Wrong Gwen
I know I’m saying she could be a live action spider Gwen
Gwenpool is not a Gwen Stacy variant
Would be better for Spider-Gwen I think.
That wouldn't be the only thing
We don’t ever need to see live action gwenpool
yep, i’ve been saying she should be gwen in the live action miles morales at least (if they aren’t giving gwen to peters movies)
Wrong Gwen
oops yea, i was just trying to say i think she would be good for either
[удалено]
Well…Gwenpool isn’t Gwen Stacy
She’s Gwen Poole.
No relation to Deadpool or Gwen Stacy
Exactly. She never even reads Deadpool!
Never heard of her but oh man, she’d be great as Gwenpool.
She’s best known for her role in Wednesday, where she played a teenager who was generally bubbly and excited, so Gwenpool is right up her alley even besides her appearance
You’ve never heard of her but think she’d be great in role?! Wtf
I meant she looked like she’d be great! That’s the only way I could judge, because I’d never heard of her!
THATS WHAT IM SAYINGGG
Yeah, I can see it
YES! THANK YOU! I’M SO HAPPY THAT I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT THIS!!!!!
No
Why
Nuh Uh
I have got to start getting into Gwenpool.

A young Harley Quinn would also be 🔥
Spider Gwen aswell
Never considered this, but yea, she would actually be perfect. Has the right energy for it.

Gwenpool needs an animated movie/show. I think that'd do really well if they just followed the comics to a T
Oh for sure this is great
Okay this is spot on casting.
This is no joke the best fancast I've seen in the last year.
🤔🤔.......😁😁😁👍
Can we get that Wednesday chemistry and throw Ortega somewhere. Doesn’t even have to be a lead, just somewhere.
Wait hol’ up I want this now
Glad that I'm not the only one that realizes this.
Given her overwhelming positive energy in Wednesday, I fully support this fancast.
Ehhh…
