"The Amazing Spider-Man 2" director Marc Webb talked in an interview about setting up the death of Gwen Stacy in the film.
During the interview with SuperHeroHype, Webb talked about deflecting questions about whether Gwen Stacy would die at last year's Comic-Con:
"That whole thing was a charade because everybody was trying to get us to admit it, which is annoying," Webb said. "There are some people trying to trick you into revealing something, then there's all these other people who are like, ‘You revealed too much!' You can't win."
Webb also talked about the long debate about Gwen Stacy dying in the comics.
"It's a controversial thing in the comic, certainly. People flipped the f*ck out, but it also ushered in a new era of comics. It changed Spider-Man but it changed all of comics because people took it seriously," he said. "It's like ‘Game of Thrones.' When somebody pulls out a blade, you're like, ‘I don't know what the f*ck's going to happen.' And that's important, that kind of drama. It's important that actions have consequences. I think that it's easy to lose track of the idea that these people are dealing with really dangerous elements of the universe."
He also mentioned how the story had to add Green Goblin in it to include Stacy's death.
"We were very careful to adhere to that. I think in this movie, we reverse engineered everything from that event," Webb said. "We knew that the Goblin had to do it, but who the Goblin was, I think we had some leeway because there was a precedent in the comics that Harry actually did turn into the Goblin, but we wanted to kind of withhold that. We knew if we just made him the only villain, the cat would've been out of the bag."
