Over the last several days, we have been reporting on the new cast members of Marc Web’s Spider-man reboot. Now that we have the Lizard, Uncle Ben, Aunt May and Gwen Stacy, is there room for Mary Jane Watson as well? If we are to believe the rumors, it seems not. Traditionally in the series, and we even saw this in the 3rd Spider-man film, both Mary Jane and Gwen Stacy are love interests in Peter Parker’s life. Depending on the comic book series that you’ve read or show you have watched, there are times when Peter is conflicted with who to pursue. Well, The Wrap seems to think that “peter-parker-told-differently”/” target=”_self”>Marc Web wants to keep the story a little simpler for his series by currently not having Mary Jane Watson in it. This can make sense, especially for the first film where you have only so much time to establish this new universe and trying to introduce two different love interests (and the key is that they are love interests of Peter, not just friends in his life) will take away precious screen time that can be devoted to other things.
