Homecoming The Mary-Jane Casting Poll - Part 1

[Webhead2006]

Harry again all I was trying to point out was even if x actress are 20 to 22 on the top end for example as long as they don't look 10 to 15 yrs older. I serious doubt marvel going to care. As who ever is cast is still going to be at the high end 5 to 6 yrs older then the character they playing.

Which is the norm in most films and shows and all. Again it's not like as I said marvel going to actively look for a 30 yr old actor and say oh they are 15 to 17 yr old character. Again we do not know what the look they are going to go for x female leads for mj, gwen, liz and others at this time.

To we get character details and at least get a few rumored names going out for a role. So then we can see type of actor they are looking for. So really you got to stop fretting that oh a 20 yr Could look to old paired with tom. What you going to do if they end up casting older or younger then tom for harry, flash and the like.

I really hope we get an actual well-written realistic teenage Mary Jane. Kirsten Dunst was just so bland and lacked the fun and spunk that MJ is supposed to have. And I really hope that it feels authentic as opposed to where you can tell it's middle-aged men writing what they think teenage girls sound like.

 

[Webhead2006]

Well marvel been good with female lead casting for the most part. So i am sure they will pick well.

Mary Jane is one of my favorite character so I can not wait to see (finally!) an accurate representation of this character, but I didn't read anything about her part in the futur movies. How do we know she's going to be in this one?

 

[Rodrigo90]

Well, we don't up to now. It's just pure speculation.

 

[Webhead2006]

ya we have no clue what supporting players will be in the film. Now with kevin talking about wanting to use more supporting players and that many havent seen light of day. Plus also them wanting to play with the drama of peter daily life and hero life. I am still betting for the midtown crew we will see peter, harry, flash, kong(for a friend of flash), mary jane, gwen, liz, and sally. With liz and sally likely gfs to flash and kong. Then i really hope we see harry and liz become a couple. Then really play out the whole flash and peter relationship. Along with the triangle of mj, gwen and peter.

How old is Katherine Hughes? Some sites say she's 20 but no date on IMDb. She was really good in Me, Earl and the Dying Girl.

 

[Webhead2006]

Can't find a date either all I find is 20 now. Though my guess she likely could be 21 if she was cast. I don't know her work myself.

Ah okay thanks !

I never thought Marvel will cast a Gwen in this one because Tasm 2 is still pretty recent . But I would love to see Gwen,Peter and Mj!

Not as a love triangle though but as friends, Gwen and Peter date she dies and then he can move on. Like in the comics actually !

 

[Webhead2006]

Kevin has said like I brought up he wants to use more of the supporting guys as many haven't seen light of day 9r haven't done much in 5 films. Plus come on focusing on the peter side more it be real lacking if we just do harry peter and one of the girls and nothing more. There is really no reason why mj and gwen can't both be in the film at same time. Like like oh they could skip mj and gwen for a film and maybe just do sally and liz. But personally I think that be a bad move. No reason we can't have liz, sally who likely be the popular girls dating flash and his crew. Then do gwen I say like tssm a friend of peter. I rather see harry the cool guy who friends with flash but is nice to peter type. And mj have her be the new girl in town and play off that wild party personal for her to she levels down and mj and rest all become friends.

 

[Poppy]

Oh yeah totally!

I want to see Gwen/MJ and Peter friendship on screen I'm just saying I don't see Mavel bring her bad because TASM2 is too recent.

Plus as much as I like Gwen in the movie, she wasn't a good adaption of the comics, at least the originals ones. Movie Gwen acted more like MJ than comic!Gwen.

Marc Webb said something like "MJ was in love with spiderman not Peter" and it pissed me off so much so I really don't want Marvel to copy Sony, because Gwen was popular with the audience, and bring an other MJ 2.0 while dismissing the "real" Mary-Jane.

 

[jaymes_e06]

How was Movie Gwen more like MJ?

Dunno, but she looks older than Tom Holland. She doesn't look like a teenager but a grown woman.

Excellent post!

I would hate for them to ditch Gwen just because of TASM, especially when she's so popular right now. However, I also think it would be a mistake for them to kill her off again, after ASM2.

As someone who is actually still a high schooler, she could definitely pass as one.

ya i too really want to see them play off the friendships and love lives between peter and gwen peter and mj, or even peter and liz and have them all be friends. Again they have said they dont want to just focus on love lives like the past two series have been. So again i see no reason why we wouldnt see liz, sally, mj, and gwen be supporting players. So then we see the friendship and then love build up over a few films. So we can get more out of all these players.

As for who to cast as any of them. I am pretty much open to any one. As i not to verse on the under 20 yrs old crowd of actors. I just hope who ever is cast in each role looks the part, and plays the role well.

Random but I like Madison for MJ, she is Tom's age so I think she'll be fine.

[Majik1387]

Not really how I see MJ but I do like Madison; she's one of the best parts in the show From Dusk Til Dawn.

[Rodrigo90]

Indeed

Good suggestion she has a Lindsay Lohan before the drugs and boose look about her and visually I thought that was ideal.

 

[Webhead2006]

I just hope they get mj done right this go around. Dunst sucked as mj. And woody wasn't what I wanted. I really do wa t to see the wild child mj with her doing that as a cover to she becomes friends with all.

 

[Dark Raven]

Apparently Sarah Bolger was in Agent Carter in a recurring role. I haven't seen her yet though. It would be a chance to see what she would've been like. However, she wouldn't work as MJ now that Tom Holland is Peter as she would be too old for him.
