No Gwen Stacy In Spider-Man 4?

Bryce Dallas Howard isn't so sure.

Things were a little backwards in the Spider-Man movies in terms of Peter's girlfriends.  It wasn't until the last movie that we were introduced to Gwen Stacy, played by Bryce Dallas Howard.  It's always been debated who was Peter's true love.  Since we saw some flirting going on, will that little spark carry over into Spider-Man 4?
 
ComingSoon.net talked to the actress about Spider-Man (as well as Terminator and Twilight).  Will she have a big role in the next movie?

Oh goodness! I don't know. I mean, it was really made clear to me when we all did "Spider-Man 3" that it was entirely possible that a character could come back or a character could not and this could be just a specific plotline to that film because there's so many stories in the comic book series and you want to pack as much in as possible so it's truly up to Sam, up to, you know, the writers and the people who have done such an amazing job protecting that franchise and choosing the best storylines for audiences and I'm a fan first. I had an incredible time working with them but more than anything what I want is for that franchise to just continue to kick butt and to really appease the really really really loyal fans, so, including myself. 

In other words, she hasn't been contacted yet.  She's even good natured about it says she's just happy that the franchise is going on or two more movies.  I know from some of the comments I've seen, a lot of people would rather see Gwen back over Mary Jane.  Then again, Peter might be busy if Anne Hathaway shows up in the movie.
 
What are your thoughts?  Do you want to see the return of Gwen?
