When I first saw the picture accompanying the article, my first reaction was actually, "Wait, that's who they cast for Mary Jane!" Either way she's out of TASM2

"Many Shubs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Sloar that day I can tell you." -
Methinks they had to cut MJ out to make more screen time available for all the frikkin' lame-arse villains who are going to be in the movie. Man, this thing has "train wreck" written all over it....sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon. -
^Oh ye of little faith...
I'm thrilled they dumped MJ...I've always liked Gwen better.Comment

Makes sense... the next movie needs to further the Peter/Gwen relationship before that relationship ultimately reaches its tragic and inevitable conclusion.
Woodley had reportedly only shot three scenes that were supposed to be a part of the film, but director Marc Webb confirmed the report and explained the decision to THR by saying:
“I made a creative decision to streamline the story and focus on Peter and Gwen and their relationship. Shailene is an incredibly talented actress and while we only shot a few scenes with Mary Jane, we all love working with her.”
Woodley also commented on the news when she told EW:
"Of course I'm bummed, but I'm a firm believer in everything happening for a specific reason. … Based on the proposed plot, I completely understand holding off on introducing [Mary Jane] until the next film."PUNY HUMANS!Comment

Hmmmm....
Ironic, since the big scene from the first of the last Spidey films was essentially the death of Gwen, without the death. Or Gwen.

The poor girl got eviscerated by the fan press when pictures leaked out. The cynic in me wonders if that had anything to do with it? They could quietly recast between 2 & 3...

Not a big fan of Marc Webb. Spider-man was a project Sony chased him down to do. And I think him stating he never had any great desire to do these types of movies shows. He's completely messed up the morality of Spiderman. And since he was never really a fan, he doesn't seem to know what to do with some of the most iconic of characters. His decision to yank MJ from the script is a great example. He's very wishy-washy with his ideas and this film looks like a side story before they go into Gwen's death for part III. Not a fan of someone handling a story like this who is not a big fan to begin with.Comment
