10 Small Details That Could Ruin Upcoming Comic Book Movies

4. A Mary Jane Watson Who's No Gwen Stacy - The Amazing Spider-Man 3

The chemistry between real life couple Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone was the best thing about both The Amazing Spider-Man and its sequel, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, but now that - spoiler alert - Gwen Stacy is dead, Peter will find himself enamoured by a new love interest in Mary Jane Watson. Problem is, the filmmakers are now tasked with finding somebody who Garfield can play off of as well - difficult stuff, hm? And absolutely, even though there are lots of actresses who could play the role well enough, how is anybody going to be replicate the affection shared by this couple in the last two movies? It's a small aspect of the upcoming film, sure, but it's an infinitely important one - we have to believe that Peter could find love again, so the actress cast as Mary Jane Watson has to deliver. If we don't buy into it, the movie could fall apart.
