The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Exclusive: Watch Shailene Woodley Explain Why She's No Longer in 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' | Movie News | Movies.com

"While talking about her March 2014 release, Divergent, at San Diego Comic-Con, Woodley took a moment to address her departure, explaining:

Mary Jane was in four scenes – four scenes in the whole film, and it didn’t make sense. They’re introducing so many new characters; it really didn’t make sense to introduce such a vital character to the comic books in a movie that had so much else going on, so they’re holding off for future films.

As Woodley pointed out, it would have been impossible to make use of the footage she shot in future films, but it still begs the question, why recast the role entirely?

If Mary Jane is introduced in the third Amazing Spider-Man and has a bigger presence, perhaps Woodley’s attachment to the Divergent franchise would keep her from making room in her schedule, but regardless of what the finer details of the situation are, Woodley insists, “That being said, [The Amazing Spider-Man 2] is one of the best scripts that I have ever read, and that’s not a lie.” "

She looks pretty good in that interview...and she's getting me pumped up! First Garfield says the story made him cry, now Woodey is saying it's the greatest script evar!
 
She looks pretty good in that interview
Exactly, so many judging her appearance based solely on awkward frames of still set photos (taken without proper lighting or makeup) and some were taken in the way early hours in the morning. Oh well, we likely won't see casting announcements for MJ until next year.
 
EricVespe: Amazing Spider-Man 2 is up next. Stands a good chance of being the biggest and best thing in the Hall today.

devincf: Sony is doing the multi screen thing for SPIDER-MAN, a la HOBBIT and PACIFIC RIM.

ErikDavis: Andrew Garfield sitting on the SPIDER-MAN panel as Spidey#ComicCon http://t.co/kBe2N7kU9O

devincf: Garfield is on stage in his Spidey suit. He's staying in character.

ErikDavis: Andrew Garfield is in character as Spider-Man & he's stealing the show. Geeking out on Jamie Foxx movies. "I loved Django!"

devincf: "I got these powers and I have to do something with them and I don't like ***holes." - Spider-Man. #SDCC

eruditechick: Garfield, full costume, doing panel in character. "who is Andrew? I thought Eduardo Saverin played me."

empiremagazine: They're really going for this Spider-Man-is-real schtick. Garfield sells it. #ComicCon

EricVespe: I can't get over how sweet it is to have Spider-Man actually on this panel. http://t.co/2GPG3mzJKQ

EricVespe: Foxx said he really wanted Electro to be someone who is the opposite of the jokey Spider-Man. "I want to burn the city to the ground."

EricVespe: Really impressed with the Amazing Spider-Man 2 footage. Fully away from the Raimi films now with no origin story.

devincf: Electro gets his powers from eels at oscorp. He flies. His power level is enormous - he seems to blow up a bunch of buildings. #SDCC

EricVespe: Electro's origin involves electrocution and electric eels in an Oscorp lab.

empiremagazine: Spider-footage: much bigger in scale than the first. Spidey catches a flying cop car like a pro. Quip level upped.

EricVespe: Also, Paul Giamatti screaming in a pissed off Russian accent is awesome. Hope he's more than a footnote in the film.

EricVespe: Harry Osborne seems to start out as angry and bad guy, Chris Cooper's Norman looks very sickly.

ErikDavis: Monster AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 trailer teases a silly start that quickly escalates to all-out mayhem. Ends w/ Electro destroying Times Square

ErikDavis: The only thing I wanted more of in that Spidey 2 trailer was Dane Dehaan. Only shot of Chris Cooper as Osborn, he seemed to be near death

EricVespe: Yep, Andrew was back after the footage ended, apologizing profusely for being late.



devincf: Nerd in UCB shirt confronts Garfield about being too sexy for Peter Parker. Garfield handled it well, said Maguire is always Spider-Man.

EricVespe: A gay Asian American attendee applauded Garfield for his recent statements about how Spider-Man could be gay

EricVespe: Garfield says that Spider-Man is supposed to stand for everybody, black, white, hispanic, gay, straight, transgendered, etc.

EricVespe: Because of the suit anybody can project what they want underneath, that's the beauty of Spider-Man, no matter what skin color or orientation

devincf: Garfield is one of the best panel personalities in the history of SDCC. He's so natural and funny and personable.

EricVespe: Said it wouldn't make sense for Peter to suddenly be with a black guy in the third film storywise... to which Jamie was all "I'm right here"

ErikDavis: The thing I love most about these new SPIDER-MAN movies is the tone. It's playful and silly, but still really fun & thrilling

Blake Wright: Foxx is humming the Superman theme to a kid dressed as Superman getting ready to ask a question.

EricVespe: High school kid dressed up as Superman strikes poses as Jamie Foxx sings the John Williams theme. #comicconisawesome

EricVespe: I love this panel! This sort of funny energy has been missing from Hall H today.


EricVespe: Webb says he's not tied down to one particular comic series, pulls from both the Ultimates and Ditko/Lee years.

EricVespe: Big Spider-Man fan asks Webb if it's too much having Rhino, Electro, the Osborns, etc. "I don't want another Spider-Man 3."

devincf: Audience applauds guy who is worried that AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 has too many characters and villains. #SDCC

EricVespe: Webb says Electro is by far the main villain. Rhino is a minor thing to add flavor. Calls Electro "God-like."

EricVespe: "How does Spider-Man touch someone who if you touch him is like touching a thousand third rails?"

ErikDavis: Fan: "What kind of Spider-Man storyline would you like to see in a movie?" Garfield: "I'd like to see him with the Avengers."

EricVespe: Garfield says he really wants to see Spider-Man with The Avengers. "You're not allowed to say that!"

devincf : "I want to see [Spider-Man] in The Avengers," - Andrew Garfield plays to the crowd at #SDCC

EricVespe: Garfield said that meeting Stan Lee for the first time was like meeting Mickey Mouse. "Is it you, O creator of everything great and holy!"

Footage looks good so far. And it seems like they're trying to improve on the theme music. I thought the soundtrack for the first film was REALLY lackluster.
