MStars reported last summer that The Amazing Spider-Man 2 director Marc Webb made the decision to cut Shailene Woodley's scenes as Mary Jane Watson from the superhero sequel. The original news was that the footage would be pushed back to The Amazing Spider-Man 3, but Webb then cast some doubt on that when he spoke to Collider.

"I don't know. She has a lot on her plate," Webb said. "We haven't really crossed that bridge yet."

Woodley stars in the upcoming film Divergent (based on the young adult novel of the same name), a film that many have likened to The Hunger Games and a movie that some expect to launch Woodley's career into the mainstream. The film releases on March 21, 2014.

The situation became even murkier when Variety reported in early December that Lionsgate had green-lit the sequels Insurgent and Allegiant for release on March 20, 2015 and March 18, 2016, respectively. Woodley's commitment to the Divergent trilogy called into question her ability to star in The Amazing Spider-Man franchise, as well.

MTV News caught up with the actress, and Woodley herself cast some more doubt on her role in the franchise:

"Andrew [Garfield] kills it....I don't know anything but seeing as how they picked up the next two Divergent films, I don't know how I would keep my sanity with two big action films in one year. But, anything can happen, so..."

What do you think, fans? Do you think Woodley will pay Mary Jane in the future? Do you want her to play the part? Let us know in the comments below.
