Newsarama reports:
>> He played an integral role in Spider-Man/Peter Parker’s life in the comics, and finally, Captain George Stacy gets his due in the Spider-Man film franchise.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, James (Babe, Six Feet Under) Cromwell has joined the cast as the father of Gwen Stacy, who will be played by Bryce Dallas Howard.
Though the roles of Captain Stacy and daughter Gwen in the film version of the Spider-Man story are still anyone’s guess, as the legendary bridgetop battle between Spider-Man and the Green Goblin occurred in the first Spider-Man movie, with Mary Jane standing in for Gwen Stacy. Of course in the comic version, Captain Stacy, who’d become a father figure for Spider-Man, was killed during a battle between Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus, as he saved a child from falling debris. In that version, Stacy’s last words indicated that he knew who Spider-Man was under the mask.
Spider-Man 3, directed by Sam Raimi, is slated to begin filming this month, and is scheduled to be in theaters on May 4th, 2007. |
