Emma Stone Might Be Spider-Man’s Mary Jane

Written by Violet on October 4, 2010 – 8:20 am -

The casting for the latest movie in the Spider-Man reboot is coveted by young Hollywood for it’s high profile box-office potential. This version will see Peter Parker (Spidey’s alter-ego) in high school and while Josh Hutcherson and Logan Lerman were rumored to be front runners for the part, it has gone to Andrew Garfield, who stars in this week’s big big big movie The Social Network.

Next up – who is going to be Peter’s love Mary Jane Watson? Everybody’s favorite Emma Stone is going to get the offer, according to Deadline Hollywood.

Sony Pictures Entertainment will imminently offer the role of Mary Jane Watson to Emma Stone, who starred for the studio in Zombieland and Easy A. It’s another good role for Stone, who is currently shooting the Tate Taylor-directed adaptation of the Kathryn Stockett bestseller The Help for DreamWorks. She plays Skeeter, the college student who comes home determined to expose the class differences between the matriarchs and their house servants in the South in 1962.

Stone, and Garfield for that matter, are on fire with plum roles sought after by actors under 25. Glee’s Dianna Agron and The Kids Are All Right star Mia Wasikowska were also considered for Mary Jane but may still be in the running for the part of Gwen Stacy, Peter Parker’s high school sweetheart.

Emma is the October cover of Nylon magazine’s “It Girl Issue.” Check it out here.
