Yesterday we got word that Emma Stone and Mia Wasikowska were front runners for the female lead in the film, which was assumed to be Gwen Stacy since previous reports suggested Mary Jane wouldn't be a part of the proceedings. Well now Entertainment Weekly report..
Attention all you comic book fans out there: It looks like this Spider-Man, which is set in high school, will feature both of Spidey’s most prominent love interests, the red-headed Mary Jane Watson, played in the last three movies by Kirsten Dunst, and blonde Gwen Stacy, which Bryce Dallas Howard played in Spider-Man 3, say sources close to the production.
If this is the case, the blonde Wasikowska(
Alice In Wonderland) and red headed Stone(
Easy A) may not be competing for one role, but both be up for the separate ones of Gwen and MJ respectively.
Neither one is officially a front runner for either role as of yet, but with filming due to commence in December, expect such an announcement pretty soon.
