Actress was set to play Mary Jane Watson in the blockbuster sequel
TweetThe Descendants star Shailene Woodley has confirmed that her part in the upcoming The Amazing Spider Man 2 has been cut.
The 21 year old was hired to play the iconic role of Mary Jane Watson in the big budget sequel and even dyed her locks bright red for the part but she won't be starring in it after all.
Of course I'm bummed she told Entertainment Weekly. But I am a firm believer in everything happening for a specific reason.'
Based on the proposed plot I completely understand the need for holding off on introducing Mary Jane until the next film she added.
The star worked on the film for only a few days in February and March playing Mary Jane a staple love interest of Peter Parker from the comic book series.

Director Marc Webb clarified his decision to cut her from the film in an interview explaining that he wanted to instead focus on Parker's relationship with Gwen Stacy.
I made a creative decision to streamline the story and focus on Peter and Gwen and their relationship he told The Hollywood Reporter.
Shailene is an incredibly talented actress and while we only shot a few scenes with Mary Jane we all love working with her.
However the publication clarified that It is likely that Woodley will not return and that the part will be recast.
Some websites are already speculating that Shailene was cut because she wasn't 'hot enough' to play Mary Jane. Her casting caused a furore among comic book fans who said the pretty actress couldn't play MJ.
Woodley has plenty of other projects to focus on however with The Spectacular Now due for release in August.
