Emma Stone is revisiting her stint as Gwen Stacy with an affectionate, matter-of-fact clarity. In a video released this week tied to her Vogue cover, the actor calls making the two Amazing Spider-Man films “a really special time in my life,” stressing that what endures for her are the people she met on those sets, from co-star Andrew Garfield to Sally Field and director Marc Webb. “I really loved doing Spider-Man,” she says in the clip, describing that period as defined by relationships rather than the movies’ scale.
Stone also offers a less glossy snapshot of franchise publicity, recalling international tours as “truly psychotic,” the kind of schedule that leaves you “half dead.” She describes crisscrossing multiple countries in short order and operating on relentless jet lag, a reminder of how modern blockbuster promotion can rival production itself for sheer grind.
The reflections arrive more than a decade after her debut in the role, which began with The Amazing Spider-Man in 2012 and continued with its 2014 sequel. Those films paired Stone’s Gwen Stacy with Garfield’s Peter Parker, became significant box-office entries for Sony’s superhero slate, and marked a formative chapter in her public life.
Since then, Stone has shifted decisively into an awards-heavy run with titles such as La La Land and Poor Things, while maintaining a collaborative streak with directors who favor idiosyncratic projects. Her Vogue appearance frames the Spider-Man comments amid a broader look at career milestones and the fashion attached to them, positioning the superhero years as one stop in a longer creative arc that now includes producing and sustained work with filmmakers who challenge her.
