http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2012/10/1...in-third-film/Shailene Woodley has been confirmed for The Amazing Spider-Man 2. The Descendants star was reportedly in negotiations a few weeks ago to play Mary Jane Watson in the highly anticipated sequel, but it’s how her character will be utilized in the next movie that is turning some heads.
Almost every Spider-Man fan knows how Peter Parker went from his first love Gwen Stacy to his long-time love Mary Jane. So, while it would have been interesting to see a love triangle build in the sequel, Sony Pictures has different plans in store for the new webslinger. According to THR, Woodley would only have a small role in the sequel, which would expand in The Amazing Spider-Man 3.
While reporting on Woodley being close to closing a deal to star in Divergent, Summit/Lionsgate’s adaptation of Veronica Roth’s young adult novel, THR revealed the details of the Mary Jane role in The Amazing Spider-Man sequels.
This pretty much confirms that Emma Stone’s involvement with The Amazing Spider-Man franchise ends after the second installment – of course there could be room for a ghostly cameo, but that hasn’t been confirmed. It also confirms that the studio is already planing for a third film.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.
