Just like the last two actresses that played Gwen Stacy. Mystery solved.

It's honestly weird people want stuff like hair color for actresses to match source material, when Wolverine being 120% bigger than the source material wasnt a big deal.

Something that was literally a core part of his character development, and had a science backed explanation in the lore.

But technically Emma Stone is naturally a blonde. So she's blonde, dyes it red, then had to dye that back to blonde to play Gwen Stacy.

Unrelated, but Bugonia is really good

I knew Hugh Jackman was a fairly tall dude, but I had no idea he was 11' 5". I'm surprised more people weren't upset about the discrepancy tbh.

My God, he's even bigger than George Washington at 6 foot 20

I mean no one really cares that Zendaya plays MJ Watson in the MCU and doesn't match up with her comic book appearance.

That being said if you're adapting a character, that characters appearance is part of the discussion on what to adapt, and superficial things like hair are easy to change. If you change too much of a character, you might instead consider just creating/using a different character.

I don't think anyone cares if Sadie Sink is a redhead, blonde, brunette, neon green with blue streaks head. But right now, she's a redhead, so people assume a redhead character.

Emma Stone, as you pointed out, is a weird one because she was also known as a redhead, who is naturally blonde.

She could be throwing us off because the hair color makes it too obvious.

So definitely Gwen?

Or Black Cat

This is my prediction as well.
