Spider Man's New Girlfriend in Spidey 3

According to reports on the interweb we are getting yet another new character introduced in Spider Man 3. This time around it is Gwen Stacy. Who be Gwen you ask? She is one of the most important characters in the series. I found a very good character outline on wikipedia, that pretty much sums up the whole situation with Gwen, Spidey Man and her death, and how it interlinks with the Green Goblin who is rumored to show up in this one.

Spider-Man arrived to fight the Green Goblin, but Spider-Man was sick and not performing as well as usual. When the Green Goblin pushed Gwen Stacy off the bridge, Spider-Man caught her by a leg with a string of web. Spider-Man initially thought he had saved her, but when he pulled Gwen back up onto the bridge, he realized she was dead. In anger, Spider-Man almost killed the Green Goblin in retaliation, but chose not to do so in the end. The Green Goblin still seemingly died anyway when he was impaled by his own Goblin Glider in an attempt to kill Spider-Man (the Green Goblin was later revealed to have survived) ( read more here )

It is rumored the role will be played by Bryce Howard. Stay tuned for more.
