Ever wonder if we'll ever see Harry Osborn or Gwen Stacy swing into the MCU? You're not alone—but according to a new wave of fan speculation, don't hold your breath.
Some fans have been buzzing about a possible 'Brand New Day' storyline for Harry Osborn, hoping it might pave the way for his live-action debut. But the general consensus? It's not happening anytime soon.
Why the skepticism? It comes down to the MCU's already crowded roster. With Peter Parker juggling mentors, multiverse threats, and his own identity crisis, adding more classic supporting characters could stretch the story too thin. Plus, we've already seen Gwen and Harry in previous Spider-Man franchises—and fans are wary of repeat performances.
Remember Andrew Garfield's Gwen? Or James Franco's Harry? Those portrayals left a mark, and some fans feel the MCU should carve its own path rather than retread familiar ground. The MCU's Peter is still in high school, and his world is already filled with characters like Ned, MJ, and even Doctor Strange. Where would Harry and Gwen even fit?
That's not to say it's impossible. The MCU loves a good surprise, and with the multiverse now in play, anything could happen. But the fan consensus seems to be that introducing them would require a major narrative shift—one that might not serve the story they're currently telling.
So, what do you think? Could Harry and Gwen still find a place in the MCU, or are they better left in the comics? Sound off in the comments below!
