Late last month, we reported that Marc Webb and Andrew Garfield would return for The Amazing Spider-Man 2. With Emma Stone still expected to return as Gwen Stacy, the superhero sequel may also include love interest Mary Jane Watson.

The Descendants star Shailene Woodley is reportedly in talks to take on the role. Watson was the main female character in Sam Raimi Spider-Man series, with Kirsten Dunst (Bachelorette) portraying her.

Woodley is the studio's top choice, according to Variety. Columbia Pictures is also in the process of casting the role of Harry Osborn, portrayed by James Franco (Pineapple Express) in the Raimi franchise.
