Casting Spider-Man's love interestNow that Andrew Garfield is attached to play Peter Parker in an upcoming "Spider-Man" project, the studio is reportedly starting to consider who will play his leading lady. THR reports that there are a number of actresses in contention to play the part of Spider-Man’s love interest, but these are just meetings. If all six of the names mentioned in the report fall to the wayside, don’t be surprised. The names of the handful of women reportedly being considered are listed below, although the entertainment trade paper did note that others are also thought to be in the running for the role:
Imogen Poots You’ve likely seen this 21-year-old Brit in quite a few places, even if you don’t recognize her name. She’s had roles in “28 Weeks Later”; “V for Vendetta,”; “Me and Orson Welles”; and “Solitary Man.” Poots is currently working on a remake of “Fright Night.” Lily Collins Teresa Palmer Teresa Palmer is a 24-year-old Australian actress who can now be seen alongside Nicolas Cage in “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.” Ophelia Lovibond This 24-year-old British actress had a starring role in the recent U.K. films “Nowhere Boy" (2009) and "4.3.2.1" (2010). Emma Roberts Emma Roberts, 19, is the daughter of Eric Roberts (so yes, that makes Julia Roberts her aunt) and rose to fame on Nickelodeon’s “Unfabulous.” She also played the lead in “Nancy Drew” in 2007. Mary Elizabeth Winstead Winstead, 25, has a number of horror flicks under her belt, including “Final Destination 3” and “The Ring 2,” but if you want to see her on the big screen and not have to scream in fear, she’s playing opposite Michael Cera in “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.”

Hey! WHAT ABOUT MEGAN FOX? ISN'T SHE LOOKING FOR WORK THESE DAYS? SHOULD MILD MANNERED PETER PARKER HAVE A REAL LIFE BAD ASS / DON'T GIVE A F*** KIND OF BABE AS A LOVE INTEREST? LOL.
RAVEON and Rock and roll heaven!
We are proud of these young Giants!
They are a credit to the Yewish people.
Poots and Winstead are a 9+ and 8, respectively. None of the others are better than a 6.5. Maybe Emma Roberts is a 7 on a good day.
All i can tell you is that this Spider man is a big fat FAIL!!
Many people care about crap !
why does peter parker love interest have to be the typical safe white female character!!!! / these women look so boring and look like every other character in every other movie!!!/ why dont they mix it up for a change and get a african american up in there, i bet you that would be more interesting and hopefully a interesting script!! (i'm just saying)!!!
@ANGEL : In all honesty, dear friend, even in this day and age, Hollywood is not that comfortable with interracial relationships or love scenes; neither are the majority of American audiences.
The casting for films, I think, is not only based on "reality" but what is perceived as being, believable and "credible"
in the mind of the audience.Obviously, interacial relationships do exist in the real world, but not are most likely not considered "desirable" for a SPIDERMAN screenplay.
However, if an "African American" were to be cast as PETER PARKER'S love interest, it should be YOU or HALLE BERRY! : )
Look, I am not a big Spiderman fan, but if Sam Raimi can make me care about a teenage boy who gets bitten by a genetically engineered spider, I say let him keep making the films. What's wrong with Peter Parker growing up?
Please feel free to join the conversation about films at http://khocolatemoose.wordpress.com/
We'd love to hear what you think, and often.

We think David Band should continue to eat his beloved Burgers at Patricks during his investigation and order
a Big Coke too.
We want Elena to have a shot too!
I agree with Ole Man Clauss
We love Elena and wish her well as a Mortgage Broker at Boulevard Mortgage.
Whatever happened to Elena Satine? Is she out of the running?
I'm all for Emma Roberts or Mary Elizabeth Winstead! I'm also against Brits in American superhero movies. Half the time I'll be noticing their crooked American accents instead of what they're saying.
For those of you who believe it was/is about the money it is actually funnier than that!! Ready for it?? Wait for it!!! He didnt want to be typedcast!!! There, i said it!! I understand that acting is an art and as an actor/actress being typedcast into one role could be disastrous but here is the thing, typecasing usuall follows those movies in which they turn out horrible and i thought all the Spider Man movies were great and he brought a humaness to Parker. I wonder if the executives realize this could turn out to be a very bad gamble as its not like Batman in which different leading men played the part of Bruce (which i believe was an attempt to say Batman was anyone not just one person) but Parker's role played by Toby made it his but i will give it the benefit of the doubt as comic book movies are very good and original so here's hoping:)
Dunst is the choice of Rabbi Morey Huckleman.

Dad Thomas Clauss Sr.
The Sound System was really Groovy and i enjoyed the group immensely.
I still play Bee Bop Baby on my CD player.

The Sound System was a hot band of the early 70's; could Ben Affleck or Cameron Douglas star a vocalist
Brian Lieberman?
Porter Barnard

Sonny Rosenthal (inmate Graterford Prison)
There should be more realistic depiction of prison life.

Cameron Douglas should date Ginger from Gilligans Island.

At 90 years young, i would enjoy seeing Chris Evert marry Lawrence Taylor. She needs a strong man and he is my idea
of a strong, kind, stable mate for Missy Chris Evert.

Stuart Roberts

I thought Walt Disney was a bit early with DisneWorld, I turned down his offer to joint venture the development.
Thomas Felix Clauss Sr.
Forgive me, but if this upcoming series is suppose to be more about the late teen years of Spiderman...shouldn't the leading lady actually be a teen? Miss Roberts is the only that comes close in that.
Cameron Douglas will comeback stronger and better than ever.
Michael Strauss
Why is every actor Gay or weird?

Is Matt Damon Jewish?

Hollywood should be sanctioned and begin producing Family Entertainment.
Cameron Douglas should MANUP!
R.N. Cohen
Hollywood is an Abortion, an Unholy Act.

Dad Clauss
Jealdine Anne Urkowitz, my sister-inlaw could play Cliff Barnes in the reunion.
Henry
Could Cameron Douglas play the part of Frankie Avalon in the Biopic about Frankie Avalon.
Steven Pugatch
I only care for American Actors.
Thomas Clauss
i don't know why people care so much about where an actor is from. if a foreign actor can out-act american ones, then he/she should get the part. besides, actors (including american ones) fake accents all the time.
I think filming should begin in Dallas.
Dad (Thomas) Clauss
Should they film in Dallas or Hollywood?
David Seltzer
Let us begin the reunion request by asking CBS to begin filming.
hagman/eden, my heart is jumping already.

Kevy K. Walsh
She was My favorite actress.
I was struck by the Thunderbolt of Love.
Hyman Mosenson
Excuse the miss spell...Imogen Poots
Imogene Pools seems like the logical choice to be Spidermans love interest. She has a young, but more mature look that would show Mary Jane evolving along with the storyline as time has passed. Her acting has centered around horror flicks. It would be nice to see her in a different movie genre.
He has got to be the gawkiest funniest-looking guy ever! It's like casting Barney Fife as spiderman. they couldn't have found a normal-looking guy? I'm not sure he could get those bizarre eyebrows and funky nose under a face mask. They'll probably cast Marilyn Manson as MJ.
Anyone but Emma Roberts, please. That girl has all the talent and stage presence of a paper clip.
Please, ANYONE but Emma Roberts. That would ruin the whole thing.
Well no matter who takes on the next spider man costume -I just don't think it will be the same as Toby Maguire. Toby was just too fit in the Spiderman role that its going to be a hard time for me to digest see a totally different cast takeover including Mary Jane's role.
I'm less interested in who the actress will be so much as what character she'll be playing. Since Pete's supposed to be in high school, will she be playing his original high school girlfriend, Betty Brant? Or will she be Gwen Stacy? MJ, perhaps?
Not an Emma Roberts fan – she has kind of a boring presence about her. She isn't intriguing like Kirsten was. Lookwise some of those other girls work though I don't know them very well. But they have more interersting looks.
I do not understand the casting of Emma Roberts in anything; she lacks big screen talent and I doubt she would have won any of her prior roles if not for her family connection to Hollywood. Please, cast someone who can carry the role, even if they are a "no name."
I agree. I think they should consider someone who is not a "noname" but a great actor who is not a household name yet, Brittany Curran. She may be a little too young, but is on Men Of A Certain Age and has been in a lot of other stuff. An amazing actor with great range. And she looks really good on the big screen.
t u
Lily Collins should be the one. She is sweet like kristen dust was and can be a good partner on the double life of SpiderMan.
I know...why not Betty White since they are putting her on everything else? Lindsey Lohan can be his girl on the side, and Britney Spears can sing the soundtrack. Throw in the cast from the Hills and Jersey Shore to keep them in the limelight.....the movie is going to be crap.
She is Wonderful!
I dream of Jeannie reunion?
Hobart the Builder
She was wonderful in Harper Valley PTA!
I found her to be the best actress ever.
Dad Clauss
And Wolverine is played by an Aussie, but he's Canadian anyhow. At least Captain America will actually be an American...but a British Spidey just seems stupid. You can't tell me there aren't any eligible young American actors who can take the role of Peter Parker, instead we get this big-haired idiot. What's next, Mary Jane from Pakistan?
American actors seem to care more about the MONEY than their craft of acting, that's why they hired a Brit. Andrew Garfield is getting less than 5 million to play Peter/Spidey for the new trilogy. While Tobey Maguire got nearly 50 million for the first trilogy, and not to mention, he was a horrible Peter Parker/Spider-Man. Garfield will act rings around him. And he's doing it, why, because he loves the character? Tobey did it strictly for the MONEY, admitting that he wasn't even a Spider-Man fan, and knew very little about the core of the character, and it showed on screen. We need people who actually know the characters (or are willing to do some research), and care more about just getting a huge paycheck and producing mediocre work, which Tobey did. Which sums up the majority of young (American) Hollywood actors.
So much anti-immigrant sentiment...I guess when American actors move to Bollywood there will be the same reaction.
Emma Roberts should be the one !!!
Why is an American superhero movie being cast with Brits??? I don't have anything against them, but they wouldn't let an american be in the Harry Potter movies. This seems to be a double standard.
I was just thinking the same thing!
There was an American in Harry Potter. She played Susan Bones. The redhead and the begining of the first movie.
Exactly! What's with all these Brits and Aussies? I don't have anything against foreign actors, but don't we have enough American actors to choose from for this very American comic book adaptation?
And that Garfield guy does not look Peter Parkerish to me at all. His hair scares me.
I'm 95% sure that that's not a picture of Mary Elizabeth Winstead....
Who cares about this crap?
That is definitely her, I'm a big fan.
Ummm, that's Kate Winslet.
TD....thats her
Mary Elizabeth winstead would have been good. She was much better than the rest of the candidates. But apparently she is no longer in the running for reasons unknown. Emma would be good, if the actor playing spider-man was a bit younger.
she could own her own company and you can too pifranchise.com check it out
