Hey nerds!
Recently, THR has released some information regarding the character Mary Jane Watson in The Amazing Spider sequel.
The Mary Jane role is proving to be only a very small part in Amazing Spider-Man 2 but blossoms into an integral lead for the planned third movie as the studio seeks to build to the classic “Death of Gwen Stacy” story.
This confirms two things. Mary Jane will be in The Amazing Spider Man sequel and third film, and Gwen Stacy will be killed off in the sequel. If you've read the comics, you know that after Gwen Stacy dies, Mary Jane comforts Peter Parker/Spider-Man, which sparks the relationship between Peter and Mary Jane.
So who will be playing Mary Jane Watson?
Well Shailene Woodley, from The Secret Life of the American Teenager has been confirmed to play Mary Jane. I'm sure many of you have seen that show (I haven't) and know much about Shailene Woodley. Since I've never seen it or have ever seen Woodley act, I guess it'd be a good time to catch up on all of the episodes.
In my opinion, I think Shailene Woodley
looks great for the role of Mary Jane Watson. I think it's pretty fascinating how this new take of The Amazing Spider-Man is sort of a modern-teenage style Spidey. Yeah I'm a comic book nerd, but I still agree with this new style of Spidey. I mean to be honest, I don't wanna see a middle-age man like Tobey Maguire swinging around in tights. Peter Parker has always been a high schooler and a younger cast to play these high schoolers means more movies..
I think that Shailene Woodley fits right in with Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone.
