Emma Stone will soon be seen in theatres as Gwen Stacey in
The Amazing Spider-Man and even though this movie will be the fourth featuring everyone’s favourite wall crawler to hit cinemas this century, she thinks great mythology can be told many times.
On Spider-Man mythology:
"What made it so exciting to get involved in ('The Amazing Spider-Man') is that great mythology has been told over and over again," said Stone in an email interaction.
"Comic books are our most recent mythology. When it comes to the 'Cinderella' story, it can be told...many times, because there's always a different element to explore, and the same with 'Spider-Man'. It's a cool thing to be a part of, no matter how soon after another version of it is,"
On Gwen’s relationship with Peter:
"Some things are supposed to be felt, I cannot spell how the emotional harmony is between Gwen and Peter! Gwen loves Peter Parker not because he is 'The Spider-Man'."
"Gwen comes from a family background where she fears that her father might die any minute. She gets a much deserved emotional support and warmth from Peter.
On the movie’s stunts:
"There wasn't a major amount of stunt work for me. And it wouldn't make sense to me because she's pretty focused on her studies. She's an editor and she's focused on academia; we don't ever really see her getting in shape."
"That would have been an interesting character element, but there's even a part where I had to hit someone with something and I made sure she looked like she did not know what she was doing, that she'd never hit anyone before."
"My version of Gwen, like me, wouldn't know how to go about really kicking someone's ass. She's a policeman's daughter who's been told to be responsible and to avoid that side of the world,"
"There was this scene where I was swinging in the air and there is music going on in the background. I feared that I might fall off but the music was such a delight to ears that I survived the scene."
