Shailene Woodley Confirms Use Of Iconic MJ Line In THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2
There's a certain line which was uttered by Mary Jane Watson in her first appearance which every comic book fan knows and hopes to one day see on the big screen. Shailene Woodley confirms that it was in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, but as she's been cut from the movie, we'll have to wait a while!
Talking to Empire Online at the San Diego Comic-Con, Shailene Woodley once again reiterated the fact that Mary Jane Watson's role in the Marc Webb helmed The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was a minor one and easily cut from the already very busy sequel. "She was only going to be in four scenes," explains Woodley. "I think it’s really incredibly smart that she’s not in it, looking back at it now because they’re introducing so many characters and MJ is such a vital character that it makes sense to hold off for future movies to introduce her." Ok, but we've already heard similar comments from both the actress and others involved with the film; will she or will she not be back for the third instalment? The site unfortunately didn't get chance to ask, but with all those rumours of the part being recast, don't count on it. However, they did ask her one other very important question; did she utter the immortal "Face It Tiger, You Just Hit The Jackpot" line? "I did say it," she confirmed. Here's hoping we get to hear it in the next instalment!
In The Amazing Spider-Man™ 2, for Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), life is busy – between taking out the bad guys as Spider-Man and spending time with the person he loves, Gwen (Emma Stone), high school graduation can’t come quickly enough. Peter hasn’t forgotten about the promise he made to Gwen’s father to protect her by staying away – but that’s a promise he just can’t keep. Things will change for Peter when a new villain, Electro (Jamie Foxx), emerges, an old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, and Peter uncovers new clues about his past.
