== History ==
=== Spider-Man 3 ===
George Stacy is a captain in the New York Police Department. He is the father of Gwen Stacy, unbeknownst to both her lab partner at university, Peter Parker and her one night fling Eddie Brock. Despite being a badge-wearing police officer, he is indeed an admirer of Spider-Man. This is shown when he acts with great relief and gratitude after Spider-Man saves Gwen from falling from a building. The event leads to Spider-Man being awarded the key to the city.
=== Spider-Man 4 ===
In May 2007 James Cromwell stated he thought the natural progression for the character would be for both he and Gwen Stacy to die early in Spider-Man 4 mirroring the comics. Bryce Dallas Howard said her character's death would not have bothered her. The film was ultimately unmade, despite both characters making the draft.
