Beaks here...
Did you know Emma Stone was a natural blonde? Me neither.
She's certainly a talented actress, so I've no quarrel with Sony and Marc Webb casting her as Gwen Stacy opposite Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker in the SPIDER-MAN reboot. But will audiences, who've grown accustomed to seeing Stone as an undeniably fetching redhead, be just as enamored of her as a blonde?
In a statement released by Sony, Marc Webb had this to say of Stone joining the film...
The chemistry between Andrew and Emma was stunning and made Emma the clear choice. At the heart of the story of Peter Parker is not only the amazing Spider-Man, but also an ordinary teenager who is wondering what he has to do to get the girl. Andrew and Emma will bring everything audiences expect to these roles, but also make them their own. Much to my surprise, it was fun to find out that our choice for Gwen (Emma) is also a natural blonde.”
Fortunately, there are attractive and talented redheads out there who'd be wonderful as Mary Jane Watson. But natural hair color aside, Stone just seemed to have the right feisty attitude to play MJ. Such a strange turn of events.
