Not really. That was more of Raimi and Co.'s doing for the previous series. While she was quite literally the girl next door in the comics, Mary Jane was much more of a firecracker/party girl than Gwen Stacy, Peter's main love interest at the time. She makes a pretty easy transition into modeling and acting.
I could definitely see Stone pulling off the fun-loving Mary Jane. And, if they really wanted to go that route, her sadder side. One thing that is pretty true-to-form from the comics in the Raimi films is her crappy home-life as a child, although there it was from before she moved next door to Peter, to live with her aunt.
