    Emma Stone Playing Gwen Stacy (!?!) in Spider-Man

    A few days ago, Sony reportedly sent an offer to Emma Stone for the female lead in their forthcoming Spider-Man reboot. Considering her working relationship with them (Easy A has proven to be a nice hit in theatres right now and she co-starred in other hits Superbad and Zombieland), many suggested she'd likely take the gig.

    Well, she made her decision and the answer is "Yes." She'll be smooching Andrew Garfield come July 2012. But holy plot twist, she won't be red-head Mary Jane Watson as everyone (including yours truly, I won't lie) assumed but instead Gwen Stacy. Well, she is a natural blonde, to be fair.

    I was really hoping she'd veto the offer because she doesn't "need" this franchise at this juncture in her career. Don't see how exactly she'd benefit from associated with it either. For her sake, I hope the payday is good (at least, up to snuff with her wall-crawling leading man's $500 Gs salary).

    Spider-Man will swing into regular and 3D theatres July 3, 2012 – where it will get its balls kicked in by Star Trek 2 (opening mere days before) and Batman 3 (opens July 20).

    Hey Jamie this is a good thing! The Spiderman reboot needs as many good actors as they can. So far Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone blow Tobey Maguire and Kristen Dunst out of the water. Hopefully the script is good.
