New Details Emerge Regarding Shailiene Woodley’s Role As Mary Jane Watson

Not long ago it was revealed that  Shailene Woodley (The Decendents) was in talks to join the cast of the sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man as Mary-Jane Watson. Earlier today, it was revealed that the actress had signed on for the lead role in Lionsgate’s adaptation of Veronica Roth’s Divergent. The deal led to speculation that the actress would not have time to play Mary-Jane Watson in the sequel. Seems that isn’t the case at all according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The site reports that Woodley has actually already nabbed the role, which will actually only be a small part in the second film but “blossoms into an integral lead for the planned third movie as the studio seeks to build to the classic “Death of Gwen Stacy” story.” Being that we may end up only seeing her for a minor amount of time in the film, could Webb be bringing to life the classic “Face It Tiger. You Just Hit The Jackpot!” scene?
