What’s the Matter with Mary Jane?

Whoa – did not see that one coming: It Girl Shailene Woodley has been cut from The Amazing Spider-Man 2!

Again: Whoa.

Variety is reporting that the actress’ Mary Jane Watson will now make her grand entrance into the story in the threequel rather than next year’s sequel so that we can keep focusing on the relationship between Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) and Emma Stone’s Gwen Stacy.

Btw, Sony Pictures, the studio behind the franchise, recently announced that parts 3 and 4 of their reboot will arrive in theaters in 2016 and 2018.
