Sony Reportedly Looking For New Actress To Play 'Mary Jane' In THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 3

Earlier today, it was revealed that Shailene Woodley's scenes from The Amazing Spider-Man 2 had been cut from the movie. Director Marc Webb would later release a statement in which he revealed that he made this decision in order to focus on the relationship between Peter (Andrew Garfield) and Gwen (Emma Stone). Well, despite saying that "we all love working with her", The Hollywood Reporter has revealed the following in their report on The Descendants actress no longer appearing in the sequel: "It is likely that Woodley will not return and that the part will be recast." However, rather than it being a case of the studio not being happy with her performance as Mary Jane Watson, The Wrap adds: "Woodley will likely be busy with the sequels to her upcoming sci-fi movie "Divergent" and may not be available, so the role may have to be recast."






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.


STARRING:

Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker/Spider-Man
Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy
Shailene Woodley as Mary Jane Watson
Jamie Foxx as Max Dillon/Electro
Sally Fields as Aunt May

RELEASE DATE: May 2nd, 2014.

If this is true, i hope the whole "she's not pretty enough to be MJ" thing a while back hasn't got anything to do with it. If the producers got an ear of that and they chose to replace her...not only would that be a low move but crushing for the actress....

Plus i thought they had already shot her scenes? Can't see any reason to replace her unless scraping those scenes entirely and need her to film new ones....

Shailene Woodley is a beautiful young woman. She was good in The Descendants and supposedly "kills it" in The Spectacular Now

I called it suckas.

Marc Webb was full of it with the "creative decision" crap.

Sony knew that bugaboo wasn't going to pass as MJ.

"That's sad for Shailene. I was kind of looking forward to seeing her in TASM2."

I agree...after all the people feeling she wasn't attractive enough flipped their lids, this news made me sad for her.

@MARVELPSYCHO79
"This really is a win for Shailene.She got paid for playing MJ and she didn't do too much work.And she doesn't have to worry about promoting TASM 2 next year either."

That's a good way to look at it. I'm sure the exposure ASM2 would have given her wouldn't have hurt, but nice half-full view there.
