New Mary Jane

Emma Stone is on a roll.

The Easy A star is the frontrunner to play Mary Jane Watson in the new Spider-Man franchise opposite Social Network break-out Andrew Garfield.

Could this reboot get any more It?

An offer was said to be on its way to the actress yesterday, and by now she probably already got it and, her fans will trust, accepted it.

Up next for Stone, though, is the big-screen adaptation of The Help.

Update: Well, as expected, Emma Stone has been cast in the Spider-Man reboot (500) Days of Summer director Marc Webb is helming.

“The chemistry between Andrew and Emma was stunning and made Emma the clear choice,” said Webb.

Here’s the kicker, though: The actress won’t be playing Mary Jane Watson but Gwen Stacy. Bryce Dallas Howard originated the fair-haired part in Sam Raimi’s franchise, so Stone is expected to go back to her natural blond roots.
