Emma Stone fondly recalls her stint with the Spider-Man franchise as an incomparably unique chapter in her life's narrative. During a nostalgic stroll down memory lane with Vogue, where she dissected some of her most memorable red carpet moments, the double Oscar-winner was shown a snapshot of herself from the 2014 London premiere of The Amazing Spider-Man 2. As her admiration for the dazzling yellow Versace gown she wore spilled over, Stone's thoughts drifted back to her time spent on the sets of those two superhero spectacles.
"I absolutely cherished every moment of working on Spider-Man," she exclaimed. "The camaraderie with everyone I collaborated with was unparalleled. I forged a bond with Andrew [Garfield] there, I encountered the enchanting Sally Field, and Marc Webb was nothing short of magnificent. It truly was a time of profound significance in my life."
She continued, "The recurring theme that has lingered in my heart for so long is the people, far more than the films themselves. My recollections of this experience are imbued with nothing but warmth and affection."
However, there's one aspect of her dual stint in the Amazing Spider-Man films that Stone doesn't pine for – the grueling press tours. "I must confess, the press tours for these movies – I'm still baffled by how people manage it," she admitted. "I recall it as a whirlwind of nine countries in the span of roughly two weeks, where jet lag was an alien experience that left me in a perpetual state of disarray. I was virtually in a daze throughout. Hence, in this picture, I'm half-dead yet I adore the outfit."
In both Amazing Spider-Man installments, Stone shone as Gwen Stacy, the beloved romantic interest of Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Garfield). Tragically, in the second Garfield-helmed film, Gwen perishes after plummeting from a clock tower amidst a fierce battle between Spider-Man and the Green Goblin.
