Emma Stone MJ In Spider-Man Reboot?

Variety reports that Emma Stone (Superbad, Easy A) is a strong candidate to be cast in Spider-Man. Entertainment Weekly also reports that Stone recently tested for the film reading opposite the new Peter Parker, Andrew Garfield.  While it's likely they're searching for Gwen Stacy they could also be looking for the new Mary Jane Watson. If MJ was to be in the film I would assume she would take the role of friend rather than love interest. Emma is one of the many actresses I previously had pegged for the role when the reboot was first announced. I believe Stone would be an asset for the franchise and could help sway audiences. She has the personality and charm to bring much needed life to the character. Which had been given a wooden performance previously by Kirsten Dunst.
