Shailene Woodley (“Secret Life of the American Teenager”) has been cast as Mary Jane Watson in Columbia Pictures and Marvel Entertainment’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2. She joins returning players Andrew Garfield (Spider-Man) and Emma Stone (Gwen Stacy) in the Marc Webb-rebooted franchise.

According to THR, the Mary Jane role is small, but sets up a bigger part of the story for the trilogy’s conclusion, which is based on Marvel Comics infamous two-issue story by Gerry Conway titled “The Night Gwen Stacy Died.”

Woodley is best known for playing lead Amy Juergens on ABC Family’s “The Secret Life of the American Teenager” and starring as George Clooney’s daughter in the Academy Award-winning dramedy The Descendants (Best Adapted Screenplay).

While she may have the acting chomps to play Mary Jane, Woodley still lacks the unique talents Kirsten Dunst brought to the role of Mary Jane in Sam Raimi’s Spiderman trilogy. Can she really fill Dunst’s shirt shoes?
