Anyways, if it's Gwen, we, as fans, will be wondering if or when she will die. If it's Mary Jane, I'm sure she will play a better part than the constant damsel-in-distress she was in Raimi's trilogy. As for Black Cat, I'd say it would've been too soon to present her so soon, but since Spider Man was introduced in Civil War, I am not so sure it's too soon for her to be introduced since we know some of Spider Man now. Gwen might not die. Spider-Gwen is huge, and they could easily make her and Peter "just friends" (like him and Mary Jane in the Animated Universe, where Gwen is noticeably absent) to set up for Spider-Gwen in the future. I could totally see her MCU origin being similar to She-Hulk in the comics (blood transfusion after an accident results in similar powers). Maybe in this universe, Peter's smart enough to web Gwen's head as well as her body.

Mary Jane can't and won't be a damsel-in-distress. With Aether-powered Jane Foster, Agent Peggy Carter, Hope Van Wasp and Pepper "Rescue" Potts, no female love interest has been a damsel in distress. And that extends to the tv side, too. Look at gun-toting Karen Page and Elektra: Assassin. Except maybe Betty Ross, I haven't seen the Hulk movie yet.

And Black Cat is totally do-able. They just can't have her be the fully-fledged Black Cat yet, they have to introduce her as Felicia Hardy. Because what teenager aside from Kim Possible is capable of the things that Black Cat can do? LOL
