With the actress' most recent film
Easy A, bringing in more than $18 million on the opening weekend at the box office, Emma Stone is circling various roles for upcoming Sony reboots.
Variety reports that in addition to circling a role opposite Jonah Hill, in the
21 Jump Street reboot...
"Stone has also been added to a list including Lily Collins, Teresa Palmer and Mia Wasikowska the studio is considering for the female lead in the untitled "Spider-Man" reboot"
And while the other three actresses are also still in the running for the role, Variety's insiders say Stone may have an advantage given her relationship with the studio. When the first set of candidates were revealed, it was said that the Peter Parker's love interest wouldn't be Mary Jane Watson, like in Sam Raimi's trilogy. And it's strongly believed to be Gwen Stacy.
If her close relationship with studio lands her the role, Stone would star opposite lead Andrew Garfield. And with big news coming soon, claims director Marc Webb, Spidey's 3D return to theaters begins world-wide July 3, 2012.
