Last week we reported that Marc Webb‘s new Spider-Man reboot is deep into their search for not one, but two female leads. The roles would be for the first love of Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), Gwen Stacy as well as Mary Jane Watson, who he later falls in love with.
Deadline is reporting that Glee star Dianna Agron and Georgina Haig who starred in Ben C. Lucas‘ Wasted on the Young, which recently premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, have both been added to the mix.
The duo join the small group of possibles including Emma Stone (Easy A, Zomblieland, Superbad), Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland, The Kids Are All Right) and Dominique McElligott (Moon). It is reported that they may add one one or two candidates, but these are the five main ones.
Now, the most interesting news reported comes in the form of a “early unconfirmed talk.” Sony wants to Venom back and they are looking at MI:3 villain and Capote Oscar-winner Philip Seymour Hoffman. It was previously rumored that Michael Fassbender was going to play Lizard, but he opted for X-Men: First Class instead. As for female lead, I think Stone and Wasikowska would be great but I’m much more interested in the possibility of Hoffman as a villain.
Spider-Man starts shooting this December and will be released summer 2012.
Who do you want to see as the female lead? The villain?
