The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Who would be the best MJ?

[Angryfantasyfan]

I got a brilliant idea.

How about we have Emma Stone dye her hair red and have her be MJ?

Thoughts?

If you're looking to top dancing emo!peter in ridiculousness, that's the way to go.

Exactly.

Can't we just all agree Jane would make for a super dooper MJ?

 

[Wanksta]

I think that she fits both versions of MJ.

And

 

[universeman]

I agree she could play as MJ only time will tell who they will cast to play her. They may get MJ to play as MJ LOL!

Mary Jane should have the looks of a model, Id say Amber heard would be good.

but you didn't see the scenes, how could you possibly tell what shailene did or didn't do? and what does her riding a motorcycle take away from her ability to be a friend to peter?

you're putting an awful lot of blame on shailene when all she did was show up and let whatever marc decided to do to mj be done. "shailene can't do/be this, shailene can't do/be that, mj needs to be like this or like that and shailene is just not it," that's not her fault. firstly because looks are very much subjective and though you act like your opinion on her beauty is everyone's, it really isn't. there are people out there who 100% thinks she looks like a supermodel. and second, it wasn't her decision to be dressed the way that she was (and who knows why she was even dressed like that. maybe it was a part of her story, maybe she was gonna be bombshell mj all along but dressed that way in tasm2 so when she appeared in 3 she'd evolve and dress more like a grown, sexy woman and THAT'S when peter would've paid attention to her. you don't know that. and it's not for you to say what the ga would fall in love with or not, there's no formula to determine that. who would've thought coulson would ended up the most popular guy from the avengers getting his own show and everything?

and we don't NEED an exact copy on 616 mj for her to be important and fun and still resemble the original but also be something unique to these movies. we didn't get 616 gwen and no one seems to have a problem with that. it'd be cool to see it, absolutely, but this obsession is so off putting. this is an adaptation, it's what marc wants to see on screen, it's his interpretation of the characters, it's all through his perspective, of course it's not gonna be exactly like each of us wants, that'd be impossible, and criticize and actor, or even a director, for that matter, for it is going a little too far. we were never told we'd be getting everything from the comics panel by panel.

I think you are actually agreeing with my point. I said that the way they used Shaelene in those scenes scares me. And although none of us have seen the entire scene, we have seen many, many photos, and yes, I'm basing much of my concern on looks.

Maybe Shaelene could pull off an amazing 616-style MJ, but because Webb seemingly tried to make her into some punk-ish, scooter riding, hammering on the porch, waitress (hasn't the MJ waitress thing been done already?) I, and many others, hence the popularity of this thread, have concerns.

Shaelene can look like MJ (to a certain degree). For example:

And:

But instead we're seeing her used like this:

and this:

Again, I'm not blaming this solely on Shae. They could have done things so much better with her, but they didn't.

And it's too bad too because now there is so much concern by so many with her. Because of these things above this thread got started and many fanboys are looking at other actresses to fill the role of this:

I honestly don't think that the bike-riding or hammer holding Shailene as MJ looks were out of character for a 616 version.

 

[sl500jazz]

No. Riding a scooter and hammering wouldn't be out of character for 616 MJ. She really didn't even look 'punk-ish' either. She just looked like an ordinary teenage girl.

[Scarlet Spider]

Anybody catch Agents of Shield last night? Our MJ fan-favorite from back in the day Elena Satine was on it last night, playing an Asgardian villainess.

She was quite fierce and sexy.

If they do recast MJ I want them to think outside the box and with that I also mean race wise because to me MJ never seemed caucasion to me

Can you expand on your thought? I'm not sure if I get what you're saying.

whoops I didnt proof read thanks for that
I was saying that in my eyes and the way I viewed her character she never seemed caucasion to me

 

[Rodrigo90]

Make her black...just like everybody else!

It wouldn't bother me if MJ wasn't white. What about the character pings non white to you?

[fuflipflops]

that's a bit stereotypical, personality has nothing to do with one's race. but thinking outside the box is interesting. this image was floating around on tumblr a while back, the girl is a model from what i understand

 

[FN Spider-man]

I worded it wrong couldn;t exactly get my thoughts together but thinking outside of the box is better lol

 

[sl500jazz]

There's really nothing about her personality (extroverted, wild, feisty, etc.) that's specific to one race. Honestly, I'd prefer that they try to capture the aesthetic of the source material as with Peter, Gwen, Harry, and Flash, but I wouldn't mind if they wanted to change the racial/ethnic background of the character to African American or Hispanic provided that the chosen actress really is best suited for the role and capturing the spirit of the character and it isn't just change for the sake of change.


I hope that they hold auditions for the role like they did for some of the other ones. Get a bunch of young actress (some that fit the mold and some that don't at first glance) and have them compete.
