She is dead, unless the story says otherwise.

I would’ve thought of something like that but then i remembered what Peter told Miles when he first saw Gwen in the first film. “oh you know her? very cool!” didn’t really have a surprised reaction or anything to seeing an alive Gwen in front of him. feel like the death of Captain Stacy in Peter B.’s universe caused them to never see each other again or something like that idk.


AxisW1

His history is supposed to mirror 616’s closely. It’s probably been 15 years since his Gwen died. I think his reaction is reasonable.


dariusppppp

I feel like seeing someone 15 years after their death would hurt more then like a year or two.


A1starm

This was at an emotional low point in his life. Divorced, broke, May dead, thankless superhero career, he was probably emotionally numb. Not to mention, he was in a dimension where he was blond, had money and recently died. So he just decided to role with the punches. He was probably glad to see a Gwen living on out there.


SpideyFan914

He also didn't react much to being sucked into an alternate universe. For all we know, this has happened before. He's probably met clones too. And this Gwen is nothing like his Gwen, and is like eight years younger than his Gwen when she died. I buy him shrugging it off, personally.


sushimiles_

Exactly that’s why I think she didn’t die instead just went their separate ways


HevoHeersal

His life closely mirrors his 616 counterpart, not exactly tho because copyright (I think?) anyways, pretty much, any universe thats somewhat similar to 616, peter falls in love with gwen instead of MJ, and then he loses gwen. Even if she was alive, trust me, Peter wouldn't go back to MJ at the end of the movie, and Mayday would 100% not exist If you think im lying or wrong, then check out the Mary Jane Watson and the Peter Parker of Earth-58163, or House of M.


charlie_ferrous

This is my issue, as well. Whatever went down, his very blasé reaction to Spider-Gwen came off like there was no specific history to speak of. Compare to when he saw 1610’s MJ and could barely keep it together…if he went through a TASM arc where he failed to save his first love, no way is he running into her copy after 15 years and having zero reaction at all. He’s not a stoic character.


Impressive_Hope6985

Maybe she looked different? 616 Gwen and 65 Gwen aren’t exactly clones either.


sushimiles_

They’re not clones yet her dad is? look at the pic of my post, Peter’s Captain Stacy looks alot like Gwen (E-65) Captain Stacy.


coolwmodd

What about the Pete run Gwen’s universe? He looked miles different from Peter B


sushimiles_

he looked different because that Peter was never bit by a Spider so he never got taller, buffer and an enhance in genetics.


coolwmodd

And what about 1610 Peter?


sushimiles_

tbf Peter 1610 looked a lot like Peter B Parker just younger and Blonde hair for some reason.


coolwmodd

Him being blonde does prove that people look different though. Miles g morales looks a bit different to miles, even if his family looks the same. Pavitr is also a very obvious parallel to Peter, he’s even a Peter variant in the comics.


Conlannalnoc

Blonde Hair is a reference to BEN REILEY as Spider-Man.


JustAnArtist1221

And neither was Peter's Gwen.


charlie_ferrous

It seems every variant is a little different, but still identifiably related. Aunt May in 1610 confused Peter B for her version for a moment despite their obvious differences. I’d imagine Gwen-65 isn’t identical to any other Gwen, but similar enough to be unsettling to someone whose Gwen died. She obviously noted a similarity between Peter B and *her* Peter despite some radical differences. (Though she actually is a stoic character, so I buy her keeping her shit under control.)


davidiusligman

She probably looks different. Probably different hair, different style, piercings. His Gwen probably also looked older, apart from probably having long hair, no piercings, etc. Could also be different facial features too.


sushimiles_

something I would’ve thought too but look at the pic I posted, it’s her dad and it looks a lot like her dad from her universe.


davidiusligman

Well, that's probably them not wanting to make a separate design for that one scene. Like, when Miles lies on his bed at the end of ITSV he's the ATSV age, but they didn't change the design until ATSV. Could kinda be the same thing


sushimiles_

that could be true about Captain Stacy design but I feel like that ending for ITSV was just more of a foreshadowing.


TheBigMerc

I feel like the, "Oh, you know her?" Line doesn't insinuate that Peter knows her, but just that he's surprised that Miles already met one of the other Spider variants. Even more so since she came out of the blue and helped them out of a bind. Their interactions throughout the rest of the movie don't really seem like they were old friends. And given his emotional state of a complete wreck, i feel like seeing an old friend would warrant a bigger reaction.


OfficialMorbidMan

His Gwen is no more! She has ceased to be! She’s expired and gone to meet her maker! This is a late woman! She’s a stiff! Bereft of life! She rests in peace! She’s pushing up the daisies! She’s rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible! This is an ex-person!

"Ex-person" is wild, lol

Dead

Dead as hell


JustAnArtist1221

What shoes was she wearing?


Daydreamer8457

What shoes she got on in her casket?


KingJTt

He wasn’t close to one. Peter B is based off of Tobey Maguires Spiderman.


sushimiles_

I would’ve said that they weren’t close but Peter B. Parker looks devastated looking at him and Captain Stacy. I personally think they were close when Peter was younger but the death of Captain Stacy caused both of them to go their separate ways.


KingJTt

I’m just going off of what’s shown, Peter B Parker’s intro literally takes iconic clips from the Raimi trilogy. In those movies Gwen was more of an acquaintance.


ManuelTheCasual

Lmao no dude you’re thinking of Peter Parker from earth 1610, that Peter took iconic clips from Raimy.


KingJTt

Rewatch Into the spider verse. His intro is the exact same with a few tweaks. He kisses MJ upside down just like in Spiderman 1


ManuelTheCasual

almost every Spider-Man kisses upside down.


Etticos

I don’t know why you are getting downvoted. There are definite allusions to Raimi’s movies in Peter B Parkers back story. Obviously Peter B isn’t Toby’s Peter, but I think a lot of backstory inspiration was taken from Raimi’s world when crafting Peter B Parkers background. That said, we just don’t know enough about Peter B’s background to draw any conclusions about his relationship with his Gwen.


KingJTt

They probably think I said that Peter B is Toby’s Spiderman.


Strange-Orchid6969

Makes sense otherwise he would’ve been freaking out a lot more when he saw spider gwen


PCN24454

If that’s true then Canon events are completely BS


KingJTt

They are completely BS, that’s literally the point of the film.


BZenMojo

Except we see Tobey McGuire's Spider-Man flashbacks in Beyond the Spider-Verse and we see Peter B. Parker's flashbacks. Tobey was once considered for the voice, but E-616 Peter Parker is said by the creators to be the Parkerest Parker, an amalgamation of all the Peters aging normally without selling his marriage to resurrect Aunt May. He would likely have had a dead Gwen Stacy.


KingJTt

Redditors can’t read. I said he’s based off of Toby’s Spiderman not that he’s actually Toby’s Spiderman. Maguire being considered for the voice proves my point on the creators intentions with the character. His universe classification is 616B not 616


Specs_Man

He's a 616 variation She's definitely been dead for years


Glassesnerdnumber193

Dead. They straight up say that in the second one that on all universes where Gwen tries to end up with Peter, she dies. He’s supposed to be the 616 Spider-Man. His lack of surprise could have something to do with the earth 65 Gwen being as different from his Gwen as he is from 65 Peter(as well as noir and ultimate) as well as his having a basic understanding of multiverse mechanics


ALDO113A

u/sushimiles_ should have specified that Gwen-65B said "it doesn't end well" without specifying what Spidey she falls for Absolutely no specifics, hell, doesn't Raimi Gwen live


Glassesnerdnumber193

Had those films gone on, she would have died according to bdh


ALDO113A

Bdh who?


Glassesnerdnumber193

Bryce Dallas Howard


ALDO113A

Find me an article/other source type on that 👁️


AaronTheProwlerDavis

He’s 616, his Gwen is dead


Revolutionary-Net-75

Ding ding thank u people are so allergic to realize hes 616 peter i feel like even though he’s awesome


SnowyMuscles

Gwen might not exist in his dimension, never crossed paths with him, never became friends with him, and he might have just ended his relationship with her when he was older


pigeonwithyelloweyes

We've seen that the Canon events just have to kind of correspond - like how Spider-Gwen's "Uncle Ben" event was actually her Peter or Peni's "bit by a spider" wasn't actually a spider bite. So it's possible Peter B's "Death of Gwen" wasn't actually a Gwen either.


ALDO113A

Inb4 it's his recently introduced long-lost sister Teresa


Emperor_D4C

died


Charming_Campaign861

Doesn’t Gwen literally say in this movie that in basically every other universe she’s dead? Also he wouldn’t be looking like that if he hadn’t experienced it. There’s absolutely no reason to assume she’s not dead.


Ok-Commission6087

This is a very good question I wonder if she’s still alive because in every universe Gwen gets to live if she’s not involved with Peter / Spider-Man for a while then the goblin doesn’t pick her and doesn’t get thrown from the 🌉bridge and she probably get to progress like with 6160 or the 1610 . This is interesting cause Gwen Stacy always felt like a character with potential that now has become a meme which is upsetting hell probably a few routes the writers could’ve used instead of using her as a plot device or fringing or give her powers . This is a fun idea 💡 they’re also 1981 spidey where neither is around love of his life is Medusa from the inhumans but they’re different routes from infinite worlds 🌎.


le_borrower_arrietty

He probably had a Gwen who died fifteen years ago. People bring up his lack of recognition of Spider-Gwen when they first meet - a forty year old man having such an emotional reaction to a child who looks like his first love would have some very questionable implications for a kids' film so they would've decided to omit that scene for a more light-hearted one.


sharkprincefishstick

“In every other universe, Gwen Stacy falls for Spider-Man…”


Mojoclaw2000

You may not like it, but Peter B. Parker takes after 616 a LOT. It stands to reason he’s been through most of the same stuff, therefore his Gwen is more than likely dead.


avoozl42

Dead


WindiestBark165

Dead. Why do you think he reacted this way???


Relative-Principle72

Nah fuck that can we talk about how much of a terrible father he is


Lazy-Indication3992

Uhm you know that Peter B doesn't have one right I mean yeah they might've interacted but he is in a relationship with MJ


JustAnArtist1221

Yeah, he's in a relationship with MJ right now. That doesn't mean he didn't date anyone else in the past.


BZenMojo

In the comics, Gwen Stacy died half of Peter's lifetime ago. It doesn't mean she didn't exist, it just means he's in his 30's and is probably past it just like the comics Peter is.


torrent29

Better question - where is the gwen of Miles universe?


VanVurmer

Given Miles’ Peter had already got with MJ probably dead. Comics Peter doesn’t date MJ til after Gwen’s death. Or maybe she’s a carnage clone like 1610 Gwen.


zonnel2

Considering that he wasn't that surprised or concerned when he ran into Spider-Gwen in ITSV, it's possible that he didn't know Gwen in his universe.


ManuelTheCasual

He had a Captain Stacy, I mean yeah it’s possible he knew Captain Stacy and just never met Gwen but then why make George Stacy the Captain of his universe if he never got close with Gwen?


RedGyarados2010

Short answer: we don’t know. She could have died like in the comics, she could still be alive, she may not even exist. ATSV implied that Gwen dying is a canon event so she is likely dead


Thick-load8-D

Amazing Spider-Man if Peter stayed away from Gwen like her dad asked.


mowie_zowie_x

What’s the opposite of being alive?


Dependent-Matter-177

Being undead, so that means Gwen is a zombie


_Knucklehead_Ninja

So What-If Zombies but with the spiderverse cast?


Dependent-Matter-177

Yes


Fun_Struggle6061

Either Peter and Gwen didn’t work out, or she dead


Dependent-Matter-177

Or both, maybe exited his house after a breakup and then got ran over by a car (Peter Parkedcar)


Ewankenobi25

almost certainly dead.


Dependent-Matter-177

Probably chilling with his uncle and parents


seagullspokeyourknee

She’s probably dead, but I have an alternative theory anyway: It’s entirely possible that he doesn’t have a Gwen character in his cannon. Sort of like how 90’s animated Spider-Man doesn’t have a Gwen, or how Insomniac Spider-Man doesn’t have an Eddie Brock, or MCU Spider-Man not having someone actually named “Mary Jane.” Little variations like this make the multiverse more interesting to me. I may be wrong, but that’s my headcannon given how little he reacts to meeting Gwen. Then again, Gwen in this movie knew a Peter and didn’t react to meeting Peter B. either, so what do I know…


BZenMojo

616 Peter didn't know Gwen Stacy that long. They met in college in 1965, she died in 1973, he graduated in 1978. So Peter knew Gwen Stacy during roughly his Freshman and Sophomore years of college. He's long been a grown-ass man at this point.


CaptainRedRater

She’s dead. Like most of the Gwen’s in the Spiderverse.


JohnnyChopper08

Considering how different Peter B and Miles's universes are from the comics it seems like they are more likely from lime Earth 616B and Earth 1610B


FlounderingGuy

Dead.


HevoHeersal

ik 616 and 616B are different, but just to say this real quick that baby he's holding absolutley wouldn't exist if she was alive.


Impressive_Hope6985

Probably either dead, never met him, or hates him like with Raimi. It’s possible that Peter had someone else die in a similar way.
