Spiderman... the New Mary Jane Watson

 Mary Jane Watson 

When it comes to portraying MJ on the big screen, most people recognize Kirsten Dunst as Peter Parker's love interest. Now the franchise has been successfully rebooted with a new Spiderman (Andrew Garfield) and interesting enough- a new love interest in Gwen Stacy. This reboot truly introduced movie fans to the true Gwen, unlike the glimpse moviegoers saw in the third Spiderman with Tobey Maguire.

However, in this new version, Mary Jane was suppose to make her debut again in the 2nd film. This time, Shailene Woodley was given the task to bring her to life. Then, it was announced that Shailene's part was cut from the movie- despite the cast and crew enjoy working with her- and it is rumored she will not be coming back for the third movie which will be having Mary Jane. Recast, anyone?

Mary Jane is a beautiful red-head with green eyes who is sassy, loving and will have to be lovable especially since she is following Gwen Stacey (who Emma Stone played flawlessly and beautifully). Though Shailene is a great actress and I see a lot of success in her future, I don't think she could have pulled it off. So who will be cast to play MJ?

 Evan Rachel Wood took her turn as Mary Jane on broadway, and can you not see her call Andrew Garfield "Tiger"?




 Renee Olstead- Shailene's Secret Life's costar is a natural red head and she has the curves and feisty spirit MJ needs.





Aviva Baumann is not exactly well-known now, but some may recognize her from NCIS.



 Amanda Seyfried not only has an audience drawing name but she is a great actress and likeable which is well needed for anyone who is basically following after Emma Stone as the lead female.


Sarah Gordon- however, since her name is linked to the upcoming sequel (though its not disclosed who she is playing.... we'll see)



 Jane Levy looks like the girl next door... Mary Jane, essentially.




Too bad Lindsay Lohan is such a train wreck right now or she would be on the top of my list.

  2. I hope Lindsay Lohan gets her act together now that Oprah's helping her cause i think she'd be a really great Mary Jane. Plus Mary Jane means Marijuana, right? So I think it fits her.
