Gwen Stacy tops ranking of Into the Spider-Verse characters

Collider ranks the ten best characters in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, placing Gwen Stacy first and Miles Morales second.

The piece praises Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld) as the film's deuteragonist and a cultural touchstone, citing her costume, voice acting and role in the story. It highlights Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) as the protagonist with a complete, relatable arc, and notes Wilson Fisk (Liev Schreiber) as a tragic, intimidating central villain whose portal plot kicks off the film. Other entries include mentor Peter B. Parker (Jake Johnson), human anchor Jefferson Davis (Brian Tyree Henry), Aaron Davis/The Prowler (Mahershala Ali), and side characters such as Spider-Ham (John Mulaney), Peni Parker (Kimiko Glenn), Spider-Man Noir (Nicolas Cage) and a female Doctor Octopus (Kathryn Hahn).

The list focuses solely on the 2018 film and explicitly excludes characters from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse; the piece also notes a trilogy that will conclude in 2027 and says fans are eager to see Gwen Stacy in the final film.
