The Amazing Spider-Man 2 The Amazing Spider-Man 2 General Discussion - - - - - Part 14

MJ is being really cast, not recast,cause Webb really had no intention on Woodley being MJ....she's the red herring.

I'm sure she was originally supposed to be in the movie.

 

[BobbyCorwin88]

Shailene potentially being recast doesn't really concern me. This kind of things are pretty typical within Hollywood. Sometimes as extreme as leading man roles.

Eric Stoltz originally played Marty Mcfly in Back to the Future and a good 3rd of the film was shot with him in the role, I think all the way to when he arrives in 1955 for the first time. The only reason he was cast, I think, was because Michael J. Fox was busy on his TV show and couldn't take the role because of contractual agreements. Once he was ok'd they dropped Stoltz and that's how movie history was made.

I don't think anyone would disagree that recasting Marty was a bad decision. And whereas I think Shailene looks very age appropriate for this movie's version of MJ, I still can't help but think she's not quite what I had in mind. I have no doubt that she'd do great, but for some reason I've always been doubtful.

This month is being odd for superhero movies. The Quicksilver Ruse, the MoS reviews, release dates from 5 years from here, now this...

 

[Oscorp]

So if they announced that scenes depicting Bane's origin were cut in TDKR prior to its release, would everyone start freaking out, too?

Stop assuming she will be recast, we don't know ANYTHING right now other than she won't be in TASM2.

Hmm, didn't think so far, yeah you're right!

 

[Mr. Dent]

I think they're all just quoting The Hollywood Reporter.

I wish THR would've written more on why they thought she'd be recast. People are saying she'll be busy with the Divergent trilogy, but she signed on TASM knowing she'd be in Divergent too so I don't know why that would suddenly be a problem.

Director Marc Webb has decided to streamline the story and introduce Mary Jane in "The Amazing Spider-Man 3." However, an individual familiar with the project has told TheWrap that Woodley will likely be busy with the sequels to her upcoming sci-fi movie "Divergent" and may not be available, so the role may have to be recast.

 

[Picard Sisko]

All of this is giving me a headache... you guys are worrying way too much about it.

Yeah, I posted the same example as you did, the Eric Stoltz thing.

Hmm, didn't think so far, yeah you're right!

This is common in Hollywood. Scenes get completely cut from movies, and the same happens to characters. Its not unusual.

 

[BobbyCorwin88]

Yeah, I posted the same example as you did, the Eric Stoltz thing.

Didn't mean to steal your thunder! This news has buried this thread something fierce.

This.

Friend, as in "Facebook." I should've been more specific har har.

All good.

 

[GuestStar2004]

you can't go by looks to determine how fans will accept a female character in film

looks are obviously the first thing you notice but you can't get anything from it till you see the final product, which is why i say it would be weak of sony to recast because of fans and also why i don't believe thats the case

That would've been extremely weak, yes!

 

[socool]

You guys are flipping ****s over this. Sony probably decided to extend the trilogy to 4 films and they decided to stretch out the plot points of 2. If MJ really was like 5 minutes like they said her missing from the movie will change NOTHING. And this recast stuff? She's busy with other movies, it's not some conspiracy; just some bad timing.

Calm yoselves, guys.

Oh, it wasn't my intention! I just wanted to say that I found funny that two separate posters as you and me use the same example. So yeah, keep being awesome

yes this would be a reason why they may recast, otherwise i think webb will try and get her back

 

[Venom'sDad]

Sounds stupid to me to waste alot of money for that.

I don't think they wasted a lot of money...those crash scene where meant for the film....they can easily cut out Woodley part, because that shot those scene at many angles....all they have to do is eliminate her angles, and use the rest for the film. It's not as complicated as it seems, and they did get their money worth in shooting those scenes.

And I agree with Picard...her scenes is inconsequential.

 

[amazingly atiba]

everyone should stop complaining she has only had 3 scenes in the movie!!! the movie wll not be ruined or damaged in anyway and if she gets recast only fan boys like us will know becuase the average joe will just watch the movie and not see her and have no clue that she was ever in the movie. who cares if the scenes were cut even if they werent cut now they would be cut later without us knowing it

Another guy with his head on right.

Sure I'll be dissapointed if they recast, but I care more about the movie than I do her haha. I would've loved to see her, and hope we still do, but if the reason why recasting her is good, then I trust Webb.

 

[SlamAdams]

I'm disappointed there will be no Woodley. I like her. She's a really great actress and despite what people said about her, I thought the movie was lucky to have her. But whatta ya gonna do!

Just one, and a tiny one at that, but yes...people would have freaked out as usual, lol.

wow if sony payed an actress to be a red herring for a film... im sure they could put money to better use

If only she's a British actor pretending to be MJ. The only way I'd accept it

 

[BobbyCorwin88]

Depicted: Us, being awesome.

Everyone just keep calm and dont worry

Felicity Jones kind of admits to playing Black Cat!


Interviewer: Are you looking forward to everyone seeing you as Black Cat, finally?

Jones: Um, well, yeah, possibly. Yeah, I kind of… it’s, um, yeah, if that happens it would be wonderful, yeah.

 

[HanShotFirst]

So my guess about Divergent and conflicting schedules was correct huh?

But guys what would you choose between being 'lead actor' in a movie that could flop and 'love interest' in "un-floppable" movie? :P
