Attractive lass and Easy A star Emma Stone has officially been announced as Gwen Stacy in the new Spider-Man movie. You might known Stone from such films as Zombieland and Superbad. You might not know her from her guest appearances on The Suite Life of Zach and Cody and Lucky Louie, but that all depends on what you watch. 
This casting opens up a number of questions about the reboot, as it may mean we may see yet another run at doing “The Night Gwen Stacy Died” storyline that Sam Raimi teased and toyed with in both the first and third of his Spider-Man movies. And we may also get another love triangle or quartet if there is a Mary Jane Watson in the film. Not all that much is known about the reboot that hasn’t been rumors, other than its director (Marc Webb) and its Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield, currently in both Never Let Me Go and The Social Network). But surely more information will trickle out with each new casting development. If we get a new Green Goblin, then we may only see one picture out of Emma Stone in the franchise.
Stone seems on her way to becoming a movie star, so this is mostly good casting for her, high profile work on one of the big franchises. And she’s shown herself to be a talented performer and comedian over the last couple movies. Like Garfield, it’s a good performer choice.
But of course, this casting opens the pervert controversy, as Gwen Stacy is a blond, and Emma Stone has been a redhead for her last couple of films. As Stone is a blond naturally, it seems likely Stone will go back to blond to match the classical appearance of Stacy. For those who like their carpets and drapes to match, this is excellent news.

What is with giving Spider-Man the most hideous actresses? Kirsten Dunst, Bryce Howard, and now Emma Stone. Are the producers allergic to attractive women? Dianna Agron is so hot and should have been cast as Gwen. Whatever, at least Emma Stone can act…..unlike Dunst or Howard. I still think this movie will turn out to be shit.
I am so sick of this woman
granted Dunst and Howard are … odd looking, but Emma Stone is gorgeous. My beef is that she should be Mary Jane, she looks just freaking like her.
Nothing like a little casual misogyny, huh guys? Jesus. Stone is good and sometimes great, unless your sole criteria for judging talent is cup size. When this movie fails artistically (and c'mon, honestly, we all know it will) it certainly won't be her fault.
@Servo
I concur. I think she would have pulled off Mary Jane superbly.
btw CHUD fix your friggin verification system

think she'll be good. At least she can act. And I have reasonably high hopes for this. Surprised by how much I liked 500 Days of Summer. And TBH I'm there in 3D anyway, just to see Spidey thwip his way around New York. If they have the same heady rush as Spider-man doing his thing in the Raimi movies, that will be fucking amazing.
My greatest hope is that they use the Bendis comics as a model; no one's ever captured the character as well as he did, both in and out of the mask. If the rights reverted to Marvel, that's what they'd do. But they're with Sony, so I can forget hope entirely.
Thanks for getting the story wrong Finke! She would be the perfect damn Mary Jane on so many levels, I cannot understand for the life of me how they switched her to Gwen Stacy.
Totally agree comment #3. I guess we'll have to wait and see how important Gwen Stacey is in the film but Stone seems perfect for mary Jane, even if she is a natural blonde. it must be said though that this reboot is starting to get pretty interesting just based on the casting alone.
First of all, I want to make it perfectly clear—Emma Stone is super hot. I'm not sure what Amazon planet you trolls live on, but I live here on Earth. I would like to believe that here on this planet Emma Stone is flat-out beautiful by any definition. Now that THAT'S out of the way: I'm glad Stone got it, but she should have turned it down. Her talents can be better utilized elsewhere. I don't see how this Spiderman reboot could be good in any way. Hiring the 500 Days guy smells like hiring Tim Story for Fantastic Four all over again.
