Interesting… The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has lost one character after actress Shailene Woodley’s scenes were filmed. Why? Well director Marc Webb says it was a “creative decision to streamline the story and focus on Peter and Gwen and their relationship.” Director Webb also said, “Shailene is an incredibly talented actress, and while we only shot a few scenes with Mary Jane, we all love working with her.”

So, Mary Jane won’t appear in this second Amazing movie, but the character will be a part of the third film of the series. However, whether it’ll be played by Shailene Woodley hasn’t been confirmed. Woodley’s been busy working on Divergent [pictured] and if that film’s a box office success, she could be working on the sequels at the same time Amazing Spider-Man 3 goes into production.

The Amazing Spider-Man 3 will be opening in theaters on June 10, 2016 followed by Amazing Spider-Man 4 on May 4, 2018.
