I've been iffy on the whole "Tobey Maguire and Sam Raimi walked so we're rebooting the franchise less than five years after the fact" thing, but I got a lot more excited when Andrew Garfield was cast as Peter Parker in Marc "500 Days of Summer" Webb's upcoming reboot. Now, more exciting news that I'm a little late to the punch on, Emma Stone, who just recently somehow scored a profitable opening for an intelligent comedy with a sharp female protagonist, is now being offered the role of Mary Jane Watson. Given the type of characters Stone has played thus far in her career, I'm hoping this means her interpretation of the character will differ from substantially from Kirsten Dunst's, which varied between "reactive" and "cipher". No word yet as to whether Stone has accepted, or what other supporting characters/villain the film will feature, but yeah, this has me excited. Now just get us Dianna Agron as Gwen Stacey and we're golden.

Nice! This is good news.
On a side note, why does Andrew Garfield's hair look like that in his imdb picture? That was a poor life decision.
