Who Should Play Mary Jane Watson In The New ‘Spider-Man’ Movie?
We’ve already offered our suggestions on who should play Peter Parker and who should direct the new “Spider-Man” movie, but there’s an element of the equation we haven’t addressed yet — Mary Jane Watson. While she doesn’t quite have the same crimefighting chops that Spidey sports, Mary Jane is nonetheless an integral component to the “Spider-Man” mythos, even if current comic book continuity speaks to the contrary. It’s possible that the new series could forego MJ and put Gwen Stacy in her place, but my gut says that the redheaded bombshell will still have a prominent role in the recently announced reboot. EVAN RACHEL WOOD: Assuming she’s still playing the role in the upcoming “Spider-Man” musical, there’s really no reason not to turn towards Wood, as she’ll already have had plenty of practice playing Peter’s true love. As long as she doesn’t spend all of her time singing in the new series, I think this would be a great pick.
