Australia’s Teresa Palmer, recently seen in “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice”, is reportedly one of the front-runners to play Peter Parker’s love interest in director Marc Webb’s “Spider-Man”, according to Heat Vision.
No official word on whether the role that Palmer – and several other actresses, including Emma Roberts (“Scream 4”) and Imogen Poots (the upcoming “Fright Night”) – is vying for is that of flaxen-haired Mary Jane Watson or blond beauty Gwen Stacey, but considering the hair-colour (not that that mean’s much in the way of “Spider-Man” – both Kirsten Dunst and Bryce Dallas Howard dyed their hair to play Mary Jane Watson and Gwen Stacey, respectively, in the previous “Spider-Man” films) and rampant hearsay, it’s Stacey.
Palmer, currently filming “I Am Number Four” with Sharlto Copley, read with “Spider-Man” star Andrew Garfield last week.
With the Adelaide-raised actress in contention for this flick, she definitely (she’s been rumoured to be off for a few weeks now) can’t be involved in “Mad Max Fury Road” anymore – which will shoot for roughly a year from next February. Palmer, who was at one time attached to another superhero flick, “Justice League”, wouldn’t be able to fit “Spider-Man” and “Fury Road” in – they’re on similar shooting schedules (“Spider-Man” begins it’s shoot in December and will likely go on for several months), and more so, lengthy ones.
I love Teresa. She’s a great girl. Wonderful actress, too. I think she’d be great in “Spider-Man”! If you’re reading Tez, go get ’em!
