but not so "comic booky" or extravagant to the point where it seems preposterous that Peter gets her.
.
thats only because Tobey is playing Peter. In the comics/cartoons Peter has always been a good looking guy, he always has all the hot chicks after him

I was referring more to Peter's social status as a nerd/geek. There are plenty of good looking people in spite of their low societal rankings.

yup still looks crap ... RECAST HER SONY!!!!!

[Vis]

There will be no recast for SM4, what part of "already signed" don't you people understand?

[UnionJack]

Contracts can be cut its not set-in-stone stuff.

Pay her off and get rid.

[Panthro]

She looks so lost and lonely and sad in some of those pictures. Makes me feel kinda sorry for her.

true, i don't know why they wont give other mj look a likes a chance, it's not like it's going to hurt the film, a good example The Dark Knight when they replaced katie holmes

[Vis]

When a film makes as much as Spidey three times in a row, the studios don't like changing a single damn thing. They can care less about what we think about Tobey, Kirsten or Raimi. So far, their formula has made them 2.5 Billion, how much have our formula made us, zero dollars? The only ones who can get rid of Raimi, Tobey and Kirsten...is Raimi, Tobey and Kirsten. That's how much they're loved by Marvel/Sony.

I'd think its more down to Raimi and Tobey .. not Dunst.

She's played the love interest, every film has one, doesn't mean she's a big part.
If she wasn't in it, no biggey its a Spider-man film now MJ film.

I bet outside of the comic audience if they brought Gwen back and said "yea Petes with her now" none of them would care at all "ok yea that's fine, wheres Spider-man?!"

[Leenie]

Those pictures of her ... She'd look just fine if she were wearing something other than that unflattering dress. That girl is thin, but that dress makes her look chubby and frumpy.

And I still think she should just dye her hair red and keep it that way. It makes her pale complexion look healthy and nice.

[spiderfan970]

Guys, let's be honest. How well do you really need to act to be in a Spider-Man movie? They're not really the pinnacle of film. I love them, but you've got to see them for what they are. I think either ERW or MEW would be fine for MJ if they're going for that version of MJ.

ERW, yes. MEW, no. Unlike fanboys Sony/Marvel don't want an overly attractive almost Barbie doll type actress for the role. The thought of nerd meets supermodel just isn't gonna happen with Sony/Raimi. Maybe with a new director, or maybe when Disney gets the rights back after SM6. New director, producers and studio. But it will not be this day.

And I do think that they should step up the script for all of the roles, in terms of what kind of performance that these actors will have to portray. Although, I think that'll happen when they find a new and hopefully better director. The potential level for a really great Spider-Man film is lost in its current form.

That's entirely in the hands of the writers and actors, not the characters themselves. If you choose to settle or aim for substandard, that's what you'll get.

Kirsten is important in the sense that she's part of the trio that everyone knows and is used to. But it's not really as a result of what she gave to this franchise as an actress. I don't like her much at all for MJ, but I wouldn't want a recast this late in the game either.

[omid17]

im still trippin over Raimi's bright ideas, why the hell did he make all three movies have MJ kidnapped by a villain towards the end, and make Spider-Man has to save her AGAIN and AGAIN. Hopefully they can think of something new for the 4th one

Yeah, you would think that someone in the production team would have said..."Uh, Mr. Raimi, we did that already in SM1 and SM2 and you want to do it in SM3?"

Sam Raimi is a very repetitive director, which is why someone new would be refreshing at the helm of Spider-Man.

MJ wasnt supposed to be the kidnap victim for SM3. Gwen was, but it was changed to MJ after they found out Bryce was pregnant. They didnt want to risk all of the falling and such harming the baby.

That's still no excuse and only goes to show the lack of creativity.

A good script could have easily and credibly had spider-man saving Jameson. Had spidey actually been the bad guy due to the symbiot, spidey could have gone very close to the edge, thus proving everything Jameson said was right. Spidey is now NYs villain but in the end Jameson gets caught up in trying to ruine spider-man for good, only to be captured and face certain death by which ever villain and spider-man in a credible and of course dramatic way saves the day, rescues Jameson and then we could have that little speech where Jameson genuinely confesses his jealousy either to himself or better yet to peter later on.

Seriously, with applied thought and the genuine desire to create an engaging, intelligent and entertaining spidey movie, a good writer can be hired and make things work in the most marvelous of ways...even if some of the senarios are unorthodox to the standard stereotype of the hollywood formula.

There's a reason why so many people are getting more into foreign cinema and why Hollywood ape and remake foreign films and it's because they're unconventional formula in delivering the narrative still engages, excites and in most cases has more of a satisfying impact.

Well, if SM3 would've been a great movie, these kind of details wouldn't matter that much (at least to me), but I do agree that it has become really predictable and now Raimi should just stop doing this. No more kidnapps, use a different threat ffs, it's getting old, really. They could've done so much with the Venom character if he would've been done right and if he would've came on later (SM4 or 5), threatning Peter in many other ways, without kidnapping MJ or anyone.

MJ wasnt supposed to be the kidnap victim for SM3. Gwen was, but it was changed to MJ after they found out Bryce was pregnant. They didnt want to risk all of the falling and such harming the baby.
Yes, but the point is that the idea of kidnapping got pretty boring and predictable, no matter if it's MJ, Gwen, Aunt May or whoever. The villains should be less predictable, the story should get a twist etc

Really good director, District 9 is an utterly fantastic film.I'd be all for Neill Blomkamp taking the helm of Spider-Man. I'm a fan of District 9 myself and thought he handled the film very well for his first outing. Plus, it's a Sony film I believe, so it won't be a stretch to try and get him.

That didn't answer my question. At all. I specifically asked if there was proof that the studio liked Kirsten's merits as an actress for this role, and is part of the reason why she's stayed.

I've already noted Kirsten is important simply because she was here from the beginning and has represented the female face of this franchise. That alone warrants prestige in studio pull and monetary demand. Concurrently, that has no correlation to the studios being in love with her because she's actually done something irreplaceable for MJ. As far as Hollywood is concerned, if you're not giving them problems, you're on their good side. That's all I see here, nothing more.

You are looking at this from the wrong angle. The question is WHY would they boot her from this franchise? They would need a reason to. Kirsten has not given them any problems, she's the female face of this series, and she's been with them for 3 films. There is NO reason to boot her from a studio standpoint. That is why she stays.

Actually there is plenty of reason to boot Kirsten. She's going to command a huge salary not to mention a certain percentage of the BO. Why bother when they can just hire any actress for like 70 grand to scream throughout the film and look disheveled? Anyone can do that.

Theres the fact she's abit of a drunk/pillhead I'm sure any studio won't want to handle that if she decides to go off on one!

Like it or not, she's the female face of a blockbuster mammoth. Asking for a bigger salary and a percentage of the BO is practically standard procedure. The studios know this going into a franchise. They won't mind so as long as these films keep raking in the dough. To them, if the formula keeps working, they have absolutely no reason to mess with it and potentially screw their own success.

[Charlie No-One]

Keep Kirsten! I love her as an actress and she makes a great MJ. Don't make the comparisons to TDK with replacing Katie Holmes. Rachael isn't a great character that many people know first off. She hasn't been in the comics so people really don't know/care about her. Second, Katie Holmes was in one movie where Kirsten has been in 3 so far. Too late to change and maintain the integreity of the films.

[HughJackFan420]

keep Kirsten Dunst even though i don't agree with her casting as MJ but theres no need for change at this point. if there's anyway to make her look hotter like the comics that would be sweet but other than that they should keep KD just b/c recasting always hurts a series. which is why I'm worried about Iron Man 2 Don Cheadle?? why Marvel why??

They could stand to make MORE money by getting rid of her, by not shelling out millions to Kirsten, but they do.
And by doing so, they risk a misstep which could be disastrous. Who are we kidding here? This is a billion-dollar franchise, they are not going to mess with the damn formula that has worked relatively well for the better part of the decade. Hollywood could also stand to go for unknowns to star their blockbusters, but that isn't exactly happening because of the risk factor. Image recognition and star power is imperative for franchises. You'd be a (cheap) dimwit to try and cut corners when you're already succeeding.

Why wouldn't they want the comic MJ, she's a brilliant character and a strong female, which the film version isn't.
Slow down, slick. :o

[UnionJack]

Slow down, slick. :o

Ok yes a little OTT there but come on this movie MJ is not an ounce of the comic one.

In SM2 when she says "Go get 'em, tiger." I was thinking "urg give it some passion at least"

It all just comes across as too much work for her to put any life into the role.

Probably only sticking around for the pay checks now.

[Vis]

My point is you have no proof of this.Again I say, the proof is in the fact that they keep hiring her back.

You'd be a (cheap) dimwit to try and cut corners when you're already succeeding.Disastrous...risk? No one will care if they did cut corners and recast her, actually, most would probably be happy and they would save themselves millions, and create a huge buzz for the search for the new MJ. I said nothing about unknowns, just a recast. Even if it was an unknown, they'd be known around the globe an hour after the news hit the web. It's Spider-Man that made relatively unknown Kirsten and Tobey household names, not the other way around. And it will happen again with SM5 & SM6, that is, if Kirsten & Tobey doesn't want to return, because no one else has chance in hell if they still want their roles.

[Vis]

Probably only sticking around for the pay checks now.That's because she is, who can blame her, it's simple work (a few sappy lines, scream and get captured by the villain) then collect your multi-milllion dollar check. At this point, you can say the same for Tobey and Raimi. Neither of them want to do these films anymore, but the money keeps them coming back. Hopefully, they'll finally leave after SM4.

[mclay18]

Screw casting, just give Dunst more to work with. Give her a role in the plot that doesn't involve her being captured by the villain(s), but doesn't make her boring either. Her movie version of MJ isn't that bad, but needs improvement.

I'm sick of these "[insert actress] should play MJ!" Let's face it, we're getting Dunst for at least one movie. Wait until the director(s) for SM-5 and SM-6 are announced before speculating replacements.

[Vis]

That's what I say, beef up the script for the key characters, Kirsten isn't being recast.

Kirsten Dunst wrapped up like a sweetie
By 3am's Clemmie Moodie & Danielle Lawler 17/09/2009

Kirsten Dunst looks good enough to eat.

Or is it just that her shiny gold frock with its huge bow reminds us of the wrapper from a Quality Street sweet?

Still, Kirsten, who's been working on Spider-Man 4, brought some sparkle to the streets of New York.

And that's got to be a treat...Source:http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/news/2009/09/17/kirsten-dunst-wrapped-up-like-a-sweetie-115875-21679604/

[Ace of Knaves]

Ehh my problem isn't that MJ in the movie is nothing like MJ in the comics.

My problem is that movie MJ is just a piss poor character irrelevant of previous source material. A whiney, self centred *****. Who offers nothing to these movies other than being...a whiney, self centred *****.

Plus she is just not hot enough anymore.

In the first one she was hot, no doubt. And she had a more well rounded character.

[UnionJack]

Never found her hot and never will.

QFT.

Look Kirsten may have some fault in the MJ characters portrayal on screen but a lot goes to the writers as well. She can only do what Sam and the script want her to do.

[RustyCage]

Yeah, while Dunst isn't necessarily my ideal MJ, it's not entirely just because she's Kirsten Dunst. All around, the Spidey movies have been missing some huge fundamental personality traits of the comics (Spidey's wit being another example). I guess we just gotta deal with it until someone else is making these movies, because Sam and co. are gonna do it their way. Not just because they want to, but also because they're conquering the world with it. :P

It's like how McDonald's never had to raise the quality of their burgers because they were so popular. Why would they if what they were doing was kicking ***?

Sooner or later these kinds of monopolies tend to hit walls, and the masterminds are forced to innovate, so, we'll see what happens... You never know since the fans backlashed so hard about S3.

I just really hope they give MJ more to do than be b**chy and condescending and then get kidnapped and expect poor Peter to go save someone who acts like that constantly. She's got her nice moments, but damn if they don't get smothered by the rest. That stare she gives him all the time really annoys me. I wish THAT was the reason he decided to go ahead and kiss Gwen in S3, rather than it just being a random stupid thing to do, like Pete's some kind of completely heartless moron suddenly. Ugh.

So yeah, better script please. :| It'd be nice to get into Pete's head more with his love life, with his reasoning there, instead of just making him act like a buffoon just to have yet ANOTHER pissed off MJ scene. There's more to these characters than that.

[cin0]

i dont mind them replacing kirsten, but only if they were going to do a whole other set of movies. i would hate for them to get a replacement for just one movie. but if they her replacement do 4 5 and 6 or somethin i wouldnt mind, at least then we would be able to get used to seein somebody else playing her character. my 2 choices would be either Daneel Harris http://www.talkingmakeup.com/pics/news/dan66.jpg

I have a question: Kirsten Dunst new film "Upside Down" begins the production in mid-February in Montreal. We know Sam Raimi start shooting Spider-Man 4 the first week of March 2010. It's possible for Kirsten shoot both the movies?

[FaT_tONle]

IF her hair is red in both movies I don't see the huge deal. Plus it could be a really short shoot.

[UnionJack]

maybe she is not in the film much ... maybe im just been wishful.

say MJ gets a modeling (hahahahha) job in LA so leaves, in the meantime Black Cats showed up and Petes like "F that red head I'm sticking with this sexy crazy blonde"

[Pirate Queen]

As long as they don't have the villan kidnap her for the final fight again, I'm good.

Oh and for pete's sake, dye the poor girl's hair back to the color it was in the first movie.

[Reflex]

MJ was always such a cool character in the comics that I felt cheated when Kirsten portrayed her in the films. Such a weak actress, didn't live up to the role in my opinion. She fizzled in every scene. I'd be happy with MJ being recast for the next trilogy, very happy in fact.

[Roy Batty]

I think way MJ is portrayed in the movies is not entirely Kirsten's fault. Raimi's version of MJ is closer to Gwen Stacy's personality in the comics than it is to Mary Jane's. Ironically, the movie version of Gwen Stacy is closer to comic book MJ's personality.

[UnionJack]

My point is that she can look good. People can find bad pics of her, just like I can find good ones.

[Boom]

The fact that I can't stand Kirsten Dunst aside, I absolutely hate how MJ's been handled as a character, and that was only reaffirmed by watching the third film recently (it was on TV, get off my case :csad:).

It's all about her. She has the nerve to accuse Peter of being selfish, and yet she just wallows in her own self pity throughout the entire film. The entire exchange during the dinner scene just pisses me off every time I watch it. But then I guess that's why they cast Dunst for the part. She pulls off this *****y, "LOOK AT ME!" aspect of the character perfectly.

Her character needs a serious overhaul.

I'm not. I said I don't like how she's handled in the context of the story/script.

[Crook]

My point is that she can look good. People can find bad pics of her, just like I can find good ones.
She can look adequate. But asides from them not even pulling that off with the last two flicks, I still say she doesn't remotely fit the look of MJ.

But what's done is done, I'd rather stick with her now then recast so late in this series' life.

As far as Im concerned MJ was innocent and I will support that to my dying day.

I like Kirsten as MJ and just dont buy into all the dislike.

Mary Janes character has always been that she appears to be a superficial party girl. In fact Peter always assumed that there was not much to her at first. He did not really fall for her until after Gwen died.

That's what I'm talking about. This is a reboot and all those other choices are too old to play MJ.

[Road Warrior]

If this new trilogy took place entirely in high school as opposed to just the first movie then what about Kay Panabaker? She turns 20 in May. If they release an installment once every two years then the age works out perfectly. She'll be 20 in the first, 22 in the second, and 24 in the third. Even if they pulled a Spider-Man 3 and waited an extra year she'll only be 25.

I just hope they don't have make MJ a cheerleader, and have someone else say "save the cheerleader, save the world"

[Kahoot]

Yes they should bother w/ MJ, she's a frickin main character!
The Coffee Bean gang is - PP, Harry, Flash, Gwen & MJ.

I want the Coffee Bean gang this time; - them all hanging out together like in the original comics.
Gwen and MJ both vying for Mr P's attention, and Flash trying to put PP down, Harry acting as ref then sometimes getting pissed at PP's apparent flakiness.
She wasn't a main character when the comics started.
I just hope they don't have make MJ a cheerleader, and have someone else say "save the cheerleader, save the world"
Why would saving MJ ever lead to saving the world? Unless they say it as a joke.

[Deaths Head II]

She wasn't a main character when the comics started.

Neither were Gwen or Harry though. I don't see many people supporting the cast being Flash and Liz with Betty Brant as Peter's love interest.

[Kahoot]

Neither were Gwen or Harry though. I don't see many people supporting the cast being Flash and Liz with Betty Brant as Peter's love interest.
She turned up 31 issues in, that's good enough for me. Plus 31 in my lucky number.

[FaT_tONle]

I think if MEW got cast a lot of fans would be happy.
And who says a gal can't be good looking and act.

Not really... maybe like three years ago... now it will be "her face got too chubby..." or some crap. Or even if she's acceptable lookwise, she won't be able to act well enough and the minute she says something stupid about the movie or the role the fanboys will turn on her.

[project13]

I know an ok choice for MJ (whether the reboot would be based on the original comics or Ultimate Marvel).

Michelle Trachtenberg

I know what ya thinkin' WTF? But look at it this way; Michelle known to play upbeat,"electric" characters (which is exactly who Mary Jane is) and she look like the type of girl who would date a nerd.

Michelle is a representation of what the character represents in terms of personality.

[Road Warrior]

Michelle Trachtenberg

Um...nah...I don't think so.

[The Riddler]

what we need is a blazing hot mary jane watson.

if anything, the one consistent feature of mj is that she is hot. it's the rare occasion of a bombshell going for the nerd, and it's important to spidey. dunst failed miserably in that department.

[Robin91939]

Go to any bar or club in New York City or Hoboken, NJ, and throw a rock, you are gonna hit a hotter girl than Emma Stone or Kirsten Dunst. They just aren't that good looking. There are girls I know that if I saw them in a group with Stone and Dunst, and took away the "fame factor" (hell even with it) and I would still go after the other girls...

I realize acting is a different story, but there are hot girls in the world who can act...just look for them. There are plenty. You're telling me Jennifer Aniston, Penelope Cruz, Angelina Jolie, Kate Beckinsale, and all of these other smoke shows who can act are just "the perfect storm"? That there aren't any others out there? BS.

You guys aren't thinking outside of the box, you're going with the flavor of the moment in Stone....plus, ever think that the girl they cast doesn't have to be a natural red head?

And someone said that MJ is not pornstar hot and she's "beautiful"....wrong. That's Gwen Stacey, she's the classy, beautiful one. MJ's the racy hot party girl.

And ruling out hot girls on CW shows and things like that isn't recommended. Just because these young actors are taking a pay check from the CW to get a start doesn't mean they can't act. Johnny Depp started on 21 Jump Street as a heartthrob.
Leo DiCaprio started on Growing Pains as a heartthrob. Open your minds.

-R

[Doctor Jones]

Yeah, how may smoking hot redheads do we know of who are at least 18 and can act? I can't think of any.

People need to be realistc and get all these "MJ must be a smoking hot redhead!" out of their heads. People will be disapointed.

[Crook]

She doesn't have to be a natural redhead, and she doesn't have to known. There ya go. You've now opened yourself up to hundreds of potential candidates.

The odds are too great to dismiss a capable MJ. Just go look for her, and it shouldn't be that hard. A hot teen who can act as a convincing party girl with a possible soft side? C'mon. This isn't that difficult.

That's what I'm saying. There are so many hot girls in the world. Just because she hasn't been discovered or is a "name" or a natural red head, doesn't mean that one doesn't exist.

-R

[8Diagrams(WU)]

Finding a hot red head is not going to be hard in hollywood. They need her to be a decent actress though.

MJ has to be a bombshell. Extremely sexy. Has to contrast pete's geekyness but enhance his good nature as that should be what attracts her to good ol pete.

Dunst was ok in spidey 1, but then in 2 and 3 she just became herself and far removed from the sexy mj we all know.

[Doctor Jones]

I thought Dunst was pretty attractive in SM1. Especially in the special features costume tests. She looks pretty damn great there. The sequels she just fell apart. I preferred the wig.

[Catman]

Since the filmmakers have decided to go with an older cast it seems like the right time to remind folks of Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

I've always loved the idea of Mary Elizabeth Winstead as MJ. She'd nail it, absolutely.

Ashley Greene is also another favorite of mine.

Agreed. Mary Elizabeth Winstead would be perfect as MJ.

They just cast a 27-year-old as Peter Parker. Do you really want them to cast someone who'll look like his little sister?

[Gamma Goliath]

Mary Elizabeth winstead for MJ

[Benstamania]

Being 27 years old myself....I don't think she would look like "his little sister." She's 22....a five year age difference isn't THAT much....

She's a good looking red head that actually has decent acting chops. So, no...I don't care if someone over analyzes a Spider-Man movie and says "LITTLE SISTAH!"

[batman44]

I can't think of no one better for MJ then MEW at the moment.

I'd rather the series focus on Gwen as opposed to MJ. We saw the Peter/MJ romance on screen, though MJ was not identical to her comic counterpart. Regardless, I'd like to see Gwen be the focus.

http://lowdownblog.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/emma-stone-2.jpg

I'm 100% agree with you, Emma Stone would be perfect for the MJ role, she is very beautiful, the good sense of humor, the energy, the georgous smile, she have the kind of vibe who could really work for MJ role, she have the sympatic factor around her, you know the kind of girl who is hot but in the same time really nice and give the good vibe around her (sorry for my bad english) and she have fantastic blues eyes like MJ.

I love MEW, but I clearly prefer Emma Stone, but I would be happy if one of these two great actress have the role.

[Sentinel X]

Mew is the OBVIOUS choice for MJ but do you think Sony will actually listen...I kind of doubt it. Most likely it'll be someone nobody ever thought....but still i cross my fingers.

I strongly disagree with you about Emma Stone and MEW, but I would like to know if you have (maybe) a better choice for the role.

Imo Emma Stone have a really good quality, it's her energy, her sense of humor who can really be a good part of the MJ role, and she look in the same time georgous and have the girl next door touch (maybe a little too much for MJ), but I'm agree with you with her face a little too chubby but I think she have the perfect green eyes like MJ (sorry for my english).

MEW have some of these qualities, but I don't know, I find her too "calm" and too cold for the role, she don't have the "crazy" aspect of MJ imo but she is very beautiful, very charming and I think could play the role with some motivation.

I think Ashley Greene could be a great choice too for MJ.

Good god people...you seriously can't think of anyone better than MEW?!? I personally don't even find here that hot and she doesn't look much like MJ.

Emma Stone on the other hand is a dead ringer in my eyes, and we know she can play the part based off her previous roles:

I just googled some pics of Stone, and don't think she's all that. Maybe she's better in motion (*cough*) but I far prefer MEW's looks.

And I'm pretty sure I'm not stoned.

Why is it so important to you guys that the actors looks identical to their comic book counterpart?

MEW is a hot redhead. Works for me.

[DarkSovereignty]

:wow:
i agree lol, can you believe she's married to this guy?:

[Mr.?]

I think Emma Stone would be spot on perfect casting.

[Catman]

WAY too mature looking

Maybe because she's 35. :cwink:

[JP]

Emma Stone is perfect. MEW is too old. She looks significantly older than Garfield, despite being younger.

[I Am Jack's...]

MEW :up:

http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll64/simian2008/cheesecake/mary.jpg

But if not MEW, then I would consider Lyndsy Fonseca of Kick Ass, despite playing Dave Lizewski's quintessential "MJ."

[Catman]

MEW is too old.

And, yet, she's one year younger than Garfield. Plus, if she can romance Michael Cera in Scott Pilgrim then she can pull off Andrew Garfield in Spidey.

[Bren]

Taylor Cole with dyed hair? Haven't seen her act, but she is ridiculously hot. And since no Wonder Woman movie is even close to being, then.............

Did I mention she's hot?

*at work, can't post pics*

EDIT: I take it back, I don't think she'd fit in the role....

[spider-neil]

then she can pull off Andrew Garfield in Spidey.


YIKES!! I thought this movie was PG13 rather than R

:wow:

We agree. It was a typo. I meant Stone isN'T terrible. I'd prefer her to MEW.

[Catman]

It's amusing people want Emma Stone since she's, well, not that hot. People complained about Kirsten Dunst, but Emma Stone is fine.

[Dark_Lord]

It's amusing people want Emma Stone since she's, well, not that hot. People complained about Kirsten Dunst, but Emma Stone is fine.

What's amusing is someone thinking that he's right when talking about something that's clearly based on an opinion/preference. I think Emma Stone is hot. Am I wrong just because you think she's not that hot? I also don't like Kirsten (she was good in Spider-Man, sucked in Spider-Man 2 and was kinda OK in Spider-Man 3), but I know that some still like her. That doesn't mean I'm right and they're not.

Anyway...I still want Mary Elizabeth Winstead for MJ. I wouldn't mind Emma Stone either, and I'm sure that there are others that could play MJ (I haven't really thought about it). Although I didn't like the rumored actress that was posted in the other thread.

For those interested in Emma Stone as MJ, here's the trailer for her latest movie...Easy A (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL7W6pEuAW0&hd=1)

[Rodrigo90]

She's really unattractive in that trailer.

[batboy99]

No she isnt :S.

Either Emma Stone or Evan Rachel Wood for MJ please!

[FaT_tONle]

If she lost the voice and toned up a bit Stone could bump herself a few points. But that's what makes her Stone, the body and the voice suits that type of personality on screen. I can see why that's not MJ, but looks are the weakest argument there.

[Doc Ock]

I like the idea of Emma Stone. Mainly because I love Zombieland so much...

[Dark Raven]

If MJ were like Stone was in that Easy A trailer, in the new Spidey movie, that would be terrible! She really does need to tone up and get rid of that grating voice. Why on earth would Peter be chasing after her?

[Rodrigo90]

Im not being a dick. But she looks really aged in that. Her cheeks are puffed up. Not attractive IMO.

[Dark Raven]

Why are people mainly looking at red heads? There are other hot actresses too, and they can easily dye their hair to the right color.

[Rodrigo90]

I'm still scarred after finding out Dunst was wearing a wig in 1 and her was HORRIBLY dyed in 2. Not taken anymore chances,lol.

[Young Superman]

MEW or Emma Stone for MJ.

[Dark Raven]

I'm still scarred after finding out Dunst was wearing a wig in 1 and her was HORRIBLY dyed in 2. Not taken anymore chances,lol.

Scarlett Johansson had a good dye job in Iron Man 2. That's the kind of dark red shade I would want MJ, not this strawberry blonde/ ginger that Dunst was most of the time.

[FaT_tONle]

SJ is one of those exceptions that looks good with any shade. Probably would even look good bald.

[Dark Raven]

So pick someone who doesn't have pale skin (like Dunst). A deep red would've made her look even paler. Someone with a nice tan would easily work with dark red hair. MJ has never looked like a gingerhead.

[Crook]

As silly as it sounds, it may be down to how accurate we want to be towards ginger traits. Their skin tones are ghostly pale, and their hair is very rarely the shade depicted in the comics. It's either yellow-orange or very dark red/brown. I've never come across a natural redhead that was in-between those variations.

Personally my ideal MJ looks is slightly tanned with fiery hair:

http://24.media.tumblr.com/P493ZZsgwnkgydeb0HpmN9ZVo1_500.jpg

Unfortunately I don't think natural redheads come in this variation (:funny:) but I'm willing to suspend my disbelief in this regard. :o

That's why we don't need a natural redhead. We should have something like this picture. A girl with a nice, tanned complexion who can dye her hair the right shade of red and look hot like in the comics. Who cares what it's like in real life.

[Rodrigo90]

MJ looks like Fox in that pic. Just dye her hair red
