As of 2016 we will have had 3 different Spider-Man franchises in the past 10 years- and the beginning of two of them within the last 5. Thinking back on what's happened, though we've had 5 films that have covered a lot ground on Spider-Man's most iconic stories. A lot thing happened that defined the character in the comics- Goblin, death of Gwen, black suit, Spider-Man no more, etc. While there are other stories that could be utilized, these stories really should be incorporated into Marvel's version of Peter Parker. However I don't think anyone wants to watch Harry go from friend to enemy again, Gwen be "shockingly" killed off again, or the origin again- which leaves the issue of how to handle this unique instance.
My person solution would be retaining the key core aspects of these story arcs and modifying them in new ways so they don't feel so tired and played out. For example Daredevil made a brilliant move in the form of killing off Ben Urich- one of Marvel's big players across several titles. This raised the stakes as we knew then that anyone could get the chop, not just characters who are more expendable or died in the comics like say Karen Page (who could have easily just been replaced with Elektra as the love interest in season 2).
Some ideas off the top of my head- Mary Jane, Harry, or another major player is killed off instead of Gwen Stacy as a result of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. This would give the film the same impact that the comic book had since killing off Gwen was so shocking and unheard of back in the 70s, while today it's what would be expected as everyone knows what happened to Gwen. Harry would be ideal- it would show how evil Norman is for disregarding the life of his own son, play up the tragedy of his character, and come out of left field as the audience would be expecting Peter's romantic interest.
