She's Gwen NOT Em-J!

The suits at Sony Pictures issued an official press release confirming Emma Stone  had joined the cast of the Untitled Spider-Man Reboot

But she's not playing the role everyone thought she was gonna play...

She's starring in the female lead role of Gwen Stacy rather than the Mary Jane Watson.

Stone would have been a great MJ but now I am curious to see how she does with Gwen

The new films have Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) falling for Stacy, a blond who attends the same college as the web-head as a science major

MJ is apparently taking a back seat this time out in the Marc Webb helmed pic with a screenplay by James Vanderbilt.

In the release  Webb states, “The chemistry between Andrew and Emma was stunning and made Emma the clear choice.  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 is also a natural blonde.
 

Avi Arad and Laura Ziskin will produce as production starts in December and will be released in theaters nationwide in 3-D on July 3, 2012
