Good news - Mary Jane's been cut out.
Did anyone pick up on the fact that the article hints that the role of Mary Jane will be recast should the character be introduced in the next Spider-Man movie?
Sounds me like everyone here is just "saving face" and the actress herself was HORRIBLE and they needed her gone.
It could even be a situation where Marc Webb liked her but once a Sony exec saw some footage with her as MJ, the exec was like "get her the hell out of this movie"....
If they were just gonna have her back in two years, then the cover story of not wanting to cloud Peter's love life would be believable.
Since the two baddies are Rhino and Electro, I'm hoping the movie ends with the birth of the Green Goblin and that we don't get the death of Gwen in this movie either.
