Days after it was announced Shailene Woodley’s scenes as Mary Jane Watson had been cut from “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” – with multiple outlets reporting the role would be recast completely – actress Sarah Gadon signed on to join the Marc Webb-directed film.
Rumors ran rampant claiming the “Cosmopolis” beauty had been hired as Shailene’s replacement, but Sarah took to Twitter to clear up the confusion.
“To all those a twitter, I will not be playing MJ in Spider-Man,” Sarah Tweeted late Friday. “I have a role in the film, but it is not that one :).”
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, on Wednesday, Marc Webb issued a statement announcing Shailene would not be seen in the next Spider-Man installment as he had decided to bump MJ’s introduction to the third film.
“The Amazing Spider-Man 2,” which is currently filming in New York City, is slated for theatrical release on May 2, 2014.
The third and fourth installments will hit theaters on June 10, 2016 and May 4, 2018, respectively.
