on Sarah Gadon joins 'The Amazing Spider-Man' franchise, is she the new Mary Jane?

Yesterday news broke that Shailene Woodley’s Mary Jane Watson was being cut from The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Director Marc Webb explained that he made the decision so that the story could focus on Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy’s relationship. Mary Jane Watson will now make her first appearance in The Amazing Spider-Man 3, but there have been tons of rumors stating that Shailene Woodley will be recast. Tonight’s news adds a lot of fuel to those rumors… do we have our new Mary Jane?

Actress Sarah Gadon just confirmed to ET Canada that she will be joining the Amazing Spider-Man franchise. No role has been confirmed, but I think it’s easy to connect the dots here based on the timing of the announcement.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will have a presence at Comic Con in San Diego next month, but hopefully Sony puts out a press release before then to clear up all this confusion. If Sarah Gadon is the new Mary Jane Watson, do you think she’s a better choice than Shailene Woodley? Let me know in the comments below!

    I dont think she will be MJ, for reasons what i’ve told before here, but who knows? Silver Sable, Black Cat, Kraven’s daughter, several possibilities.

    I seriously doubt it. If MJ is not in part 2, why would they be casting for it now? And it would make them look like complete buttholes to cast somebody so soon. Their whole reasoning for cutting MJ would look like complete lies. And wouldn’t this chick be smart enough not to spoil something that big?

      Ya but they already look like fools not knowing which characters to use for their movies (i.e. sequels). Re-casting wouldn’t be a surprise to me here, especially if no one is signed on with Woodley being MJ.

        I don’t think they look like fools in the least. If they realized it wasn’t working and it was best to cut it then they seem pretty smart to me. A fool would leave it in and not make the effort to better the movie.

        I think the re-casting would be a surprise because we’re talking about a movie that’s not going to be out until 2016. If the MJ character isn’t going to be in 2 why cast it?

          Exactly my point why would they have casted the role in the first place for the sequel? I guess it wasn’t working. I just figured there would be more organization than that.

            And it’s already been reported by the Hollywood Reporter has reported that they will “likely recast” the role. Again to me it’s an organization problem.

    I liked Woodley more :/ Well that is if MJ is being re-cast. She could be someone else too, quite possible, and well there can be an ugly story behind all this too soon to be revealed.
