Another Go Around
Shailene Woodley will apparently no longer be in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. After filming scenes for the superhero sequel, Shailene has revealed to Entertainment Weekly the creators have decided to hold off on introducing Mary Jane Watson into the series.
Shailene told EW, in their newest issue, “Of course I’m bummed. But I am a firm believer in everything happening for a specific reason…Based on the proposed plot, I completely understand the need for holding off on introducing [Mary Jane] until the next film.”
Initially, Mary Jane was suppose to be briefly introduced in this film (hence the photos of her meeting Emma Stone’s character, Gwen) and have a bigger role in the third film. I guess with the announcement of two more films in the works they plan to introduce her in the next one.
I was really looking forward to seeing that scene Emma and Shailene filmed. I hope they decide to keep her for the third film and not recast her.
