It really would be terrific if the folks remaking Spider-Man, if they must cast a grown man as a teenager, could snag Emma Stone as Mary Jane. I thought Kirsten Dunst was quite good for the extremely sweet interpretation of Mary Jane the most recent trilogy selected, but everything felt a bit sad and heavy between her and Peter, so much of the time. It got to be a bit ponderous, angsty going.
I wouldn't mind an interpretation with a bit more...prickle to it. Especially if Peter Parker's going to be a bit torn between Mary Jane and Gwen Stacy, Mary Jane will have to be a bit of a scrapper. Stone would be perfect for that. She was confused and Machiavellian all at once in The House Bunny, appropriately alluring in Super-Bad. And she's extremely funny and elastic; she's a Mary Jane who could make it as an actress and who would demand that her soap opera character be rewritten to be a better person, and go back to school as a psych major. There's joy in superheroism, as well as heavy responsibility. Emma Stone would be marvelous at bringing the fun in the character, and in Super-Man, as well.
