Gadon, a native of Toronto and rising star in Hollywood, confirmed to ET Canada that she had joined the Spider-Man franchise. This sparked rumours that Gadon scooped the role of Mary Jane away from Woodley for the upcoming films, including a third in 2016 and a fourth in 2018.
Gadon was not available to speak about her role, according to her representatives, who would only confirm that she has one.
“That’s all we can say,” her reps told the Star.
A Hollywood source told the Star that Gadon is not taking over the role of Mary Jane, and has only a brief appearance in the next movie.
