Sony/Columbia Pictures telah mengkonfirmasi berita mengenai siapa pemeran wanita untuk film reboot Spider-man, peran tersebut jatuh kepada Emma Stone (Superbad, The House Bunny, Zombieland). Emma Stone tidak akan berperan sebagai Mary Jane Watson seperti apa yang dikabarkan beberapa hari yang lalu tetapi akan memainkan karakter Gwen Stacy!

Sutradara Marc Webb memberikan pernyataannya:

“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 (Emma) is also a natural blonde.
