Key Points:
- Shailene Woodley revealed that her role as Mary Jane Watson was cut from 2014’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2 after filming several scenes with Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker.
- The decision to remove her character was reportedly due to the introduction of many new characters and plans to wait for Emma Stone's character's storyline to conclude before reintroducing Mary Jane.
- The planned follow-up film to reintroduce Mary Jane was never made, leaving Woodley's portrayal unseen in the MCU.
- Andrew Garfield has declined to reprise his Spider-Man role in Avengers: Doomsday but remains open to returning in a future, unconventional project, which could potentially bring back Woodley’s Mary Jane.
- Garfield expressed enthusiasm for playing Spider-Man again but emphasized a desire for a unique or unusual approach if he were to return.
