Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse: Gwen's Flashback
COMIC BOOK PANELS FLIP TO REVEAL: SPIDER-GWEN #65: TEAM UP WITH ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN!

GWEN (V.O.): Alright, people. Let’s start at the beginning one last time. My name is Gwen Stacy.

INT. SUPERCOLLIDER STAGING CHAMBER - FLASHBACK

We intercut Spider-Gwen (aka-Gwanda) battling THE LIZARD (vaguely resembles Peter Parker) in a slightly different location than the earlier Green Goblin fight, but with identical shot language.

GWEN (V.O.): I was bitten by a radioactive spider. And for the last two years I've been the one and only Spider-Woman. (then) You guys know the rest.

QUICK FLASHES of 1. Gwen banging on a drum set, 2. Gwen’s Dad in a COP UNIFORM being SAVED by Spider-Gwen, 3. Spider-Gwen dealing the death blow to the Lizard Monster only for him to turn into PETER PARKER as he dies, Gwen, devastated 4. Gwen WALKING DOWN THE STREET, ALL ALONE, hands in pockets, and 5. Spider-Gwen fighting Doc Ock in a different COLLIDER ROOM.

GWEN (V.O.): I joined a band. Saved my dad. I couldn’t save my best friend, Peter Parker. So now I save everyone else. And I don’t do friends anymore. Just to avoid any distractions. And one day this weird thing happened.

Gwen wins the fight. Yes! But then a PORTAL opens above her and she's SUCKED IN, her particles becoming HALFTONE.

GWEN (V.O): ...and I mean, like, really weird.

EXT. BROOKLYN - FLASHBACK

Gwen EXPLODES IN AN ENERGY BURST OUT OF THE COLLIDER.

GWEN (V.O.): I was blown into last week. Literally. I landed in New York. But not my New York.

Gwen TUMBLES and CAREENS through a BLUR OF CITY and NIGHT SKY as her MOLECULES SOLIDIFY, TIMELAPSE SHOWING HER TRAVELING “BACK IN TIME”, then finally coming to rest in...

TIMES SQUARE... Gwen slowly stands. Stares at the same Cocoa Kola billboard where Peter found himself earlier. She sees FOOTAGE in Times Square of Spider-Man rescuing people from earthquakes - the same clip we saw earlier in Jefferson’s car.

NEWS ANCHOR: ...this is the second earthquake in the Tri-State area this month. Lucky for these folks, Spider-Man was there to save the day!

INT. VISIONS ACADEMY - HALLWAY - FLASHBACK

Gwen gets SPIDER-SENSE, sees Miles, then gets stuck to him.

GWEN (V.O): My Spider-sense told me to head to Visions Academy. I wasn’t sure why until I met you.

EXT. HUDSON - PRESENT DAY

MILES: I like your haircut.

GWEN: You don’t get to like my haircut.

The sound of GUNSHOTS RINGS through the forest. The GRAD STUDENTS are coming.

Gwen fires her shooter and swings away.

GWEN: Let’s go.

Peter swings away. Miles fumbles with web-shooters...

MILES: How many more spider-people are there?

PETER: Save it for Comic-Con!

MILES: What’s Comic-Con?

As BULLETS HIT, Miles is WEBBED AND PULLED OUT OF FRAME.
