Shailene Woodley has revealed that she filmed three scenes as Mary Jane Watson for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, but was told a year later that her character had been cut so she could be introduced in a planned third film that was never made.
The Divergent star was cast as Mary Jane Watson in 2013 and spent three days filming with Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker for the 2014 sequel. Her scenes were cut while the film was in production, with director Marc Webb saying he had decided to streamline the story around Peter and Emma Stone’s Gwen Stacy.
