About a month ago, Renn reported Sony’s intention to get the Mary Jane Watson character back into the rebooted Spider-Man movieverse. Whispers at the time pegged Shailene Woodley for the role. With Marc Webb answering questions on Twitter today to promote The Amazing Spider-Man on Blu-ray and DVD (Buy it from CHUD), it’s as good a time as any to confirm or deny such reports:

So Woodley’s in, though he doesn’t exactly confirm she’s playing Mary Jane (she is). But Webb wasn’t done; he also shed some light on potential revisions to Spidey’s duds:

Fair enough, but they shouldn’t stop there. Spidey’s costume in Amazing was an overdesigned mess – not at all something a teenager with limited means would or could design.
I thought Webb’s reboot was good enough, nothing special but not terrible. I’m anxious to revisit it soon to see how it fares without the 3D – undoubtedly the film’s best non-Garfield asset.

I actually didn’t mind the costume in motion, only when he was still did it look ridiculous, and dear god, could they please add a belt. Without a belt, the whole thing just looked…off, and the red down the center just drew your eyes straight to the groin.
That movie was awfully boring for some reason I can’t quite articulate. I dug all the characters for the most part and it was kinda engaging except for whatever the hell they were trying to imply with Spidey’s nefarious parents. I don’t need things exploding left-to-right in my superhero flicks but geez, something was off with it. Here’s to part 2 being everything 1 was trying to be!
