Here's a hint: She's a reason to watch True Blood that isn't a Viking vampire or Anna Paquin's boobs

So they're casting for the Spider-Man reboot and all that remains to be seen is how many Disney Channel refugees claw their way onboard. The favorite pick for Peter would seem to be Anton Yelchin, which would work pretty well, though I'm surprised the DC fen aren't staking him out for Robin. But then someone asked who would play Mary-Jane Watson and it came to me. The actress would have to be...

1. Young enough to play a high school student.
2. Old enough not to make you feel like a perv (not looking at you, Dakota Fanning. Really, lesbian make-outs with Kristen Stewart? You're just making this weird for everyone).
3. Really cheap A good actress.
4. Looks good as a redhead.
5. Looks like a GQ motherfucker.

Ladies and gentlemen, the lovely and talented Deborah Ann Woll!



I also suggest Catherine Tate to play Mary-Jane's mother, just to see what box_in_the_box's hilarious perversions would do with it.

ETA: A lot of people have been suggesting Anna Kendrick, but she's more of a Gwen Stacy to me, assuming we're not going with the Ultimate Spider-Man version of 'Mary-Jane is the girl next door, Gwen is the riot-grrl, apes evolved from man'. You know, pretty, a little plain, whereas Mary-Jane is JIZZED IN MY PANTS.

DO NOT WANT seems inadequate, so I dug up a Macro.
