After much confusion brought about by contrasting reports, it appears that we can finally rule out a cameo by Mary-Jane Watson in Marc Webb’s upcoming Spider-Man reboot.

With Martin Sheen (Imagine That) and Sally Field (TV’s Brothers and Sisters) being cast as Peter Parker’s Uncle Ben and Aunt May respectively, these new additions seem to round off a cast which already includes Andrew Garfield as the titular webslinger, Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy and Rhys Ifans as villain The Lizard.

The Wrap has quoted a source close to the project as saying that the character of Watson does not appear in James Vanderbilt’s screenplay and apparently never did in the first place, despite Dead Central’s reports to the contrary in September.

This is consistent with the comic book’s mythology, which see’s Mary-Jane arrive win Spidey’s heart later down the line.
