Mary Jane Watson is no longer part of Amazing Spider-Man 2. Shailene Woodley was cast in the role and filmed multiple scenes for Sony’s superhero sequel, but has since been booted. Director Marc Webb explained “to streamline the story and focus on Peter and Gwen and their relationship,” that it would require MJ not the be there. According to a new interview, Woodley is more than satisfied by that concept.

“She was only going to be in four scenes,” she tells Empire. “I think it’s really incredibly smart that she’s not in it, looking back at it now, because they’re introducing so many characters and MJ is such a vital character that it makes sense to hold off for future movies to introduce her.” It’s being said that Woodley won’t even be playing the role at all anymore. Opening May 4, 2014, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Dane DeHaan, Paul Giamatti, Colm Feore and Sally Field. Webb, Garfield, Foxx and DeHaan will appear today at Sony’s Hall H Presentation at Comic-Con International in San Diego.
