Shailene Woodley Explains Why Her Mary Jane Scenes Were Cut from The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Shailene Woodley revealed that her scenes as Mary Jane Watson in 2014's The Amazing Spider-Man 2 were cut after filming three scenes with Andrew Garfield. She learned about the removal roughly a year later via phone call. The decision was reportedly due to the film introducing many new characters and focusing on the storyline between Garfield's Peter Parker and Emma Stone's Gwen Stacy. Woodley described being cast as Mary Jane as a significant career moment and a personal dream.
