Is Emma Stone the Easy Choice For Spider-Man?

The Easy-A and Zombieland Star is in the Running for the Female Lead.

There are a lot of actresses up for the female lead in reboot of the Spider-Man film franchise and now Variety is reporting that Easy A star Emma Stone is being considered for one of the two female leads. And before you say "Mary Jane', reports indicate that Stone would not be playing Ms. Watson.

Stone's star has been on the rise, appearing in such hits as Superbad and Zombieland. Last weekend her vehicle, Easy A, earned more than $17 million, which is more than double its production budget. Variety reports that Sony has been loyal to young actors who have taken star turns in the studio's films, including The Social Network star Andrew Garfield landing the role of Peter Parker, so Stone may have a leg up on the other actresses in the running.

The one roadblock to Stone joining the cast may be another reboot. According to Variety she is also considering appearing in the big-screen version of 21 Jumpstreet.

The competition for the female lead roles may be more intense than the search for the new Peter Parker. Who would you cast and who would they play?
