While we heard recently that Emma Stone was joining the cast of Spider-Man, the assumption was naturally that we would see her scarlet locks and slinky figure as Parker’s love interest Mary Jane, but we jumped too soon.
She’s playing Gwen Stacey.
“The chemistry between Andrew [Garfield] and Emma was stunning and made Emma the clear choice,” said director Marc Webb (500 Days of Summer). “At the heart of the story of Peter Parker is not only the amazing Spider-Man, but also an ordinary teenager who is wondering what he has to do to get the girl. Andrew and Emma will bring everything audiences expect to these roles, but also make them their own. Much to my surprise, it was fun to find out that our choice for Gwen (Emma) is also a natural blonde.”
Finding a picture of Emma Stone with blonde hair is a task. It seems she herself wishes she was born a ginger, and it suits her. She is rarely seen in anything but those lovely red wavy curls.
But she was a blonde in her role in The Rocker, which most of you probably didn’t see anyways.
Just sad to think that the Green Goblin is likely going to kill her in the first movie. Maybe they will drag that out a little longer before making the logical leap to Mary Jane.
Which in a mad twist will turn out to be Emma Stone again with red hair, playing Gwen Stacey in the witness protection program and a new alias!! Damn, should have saved that for April Fools Day!
What do you think of Stone as Gwen Stacey after you already wrapped your head around her as MJ?
And for your consideration, the best Gwen Stacey cosplay I have ever seen, taken at FanExpo this past summer:
