This weekend, I reported that funnier, less insane Lindsay Lohan robot Emma Stone had been offered the role of the similarly-tressed Mary Jane in Marc Webb's reboot of the Spider-Man franchise. Now according to The Playlist, Stone, who, scandalously, is a natural blond, has been instead offered the role of earlier Spider-Man fling Gwen Stacy, who, aside from being played by a mostly wasted Bryce Dallas Howard in Spider-Man 3, is probably most famous for SPOILERS!!!!!! getting dumped off a bridge to her death by the Green Goblin*. Stone's a good enough actress that I'm not too bothered by this; given the movie's apparent back-to-basics approach, it's possible, if not entirely probable, that it will eschew Mary Jane entirely, since she wasn't actually introduced until several years into the comic.*And also that time several decades later when it was "revealed" that Norman Osborn, the Green Goblin's civilian identity, had seduced her and impregnated her with twins. This was every bit as awful as it sounds.
