Emma Stone Talks About Spider-Man's 'Gwen Stacy'

MTV took the time to chat it up with Emma Stone, who will be playing 'Gwen Stacy' in the new 'Spider-Man' franchise reboot. Emma talks about being blonde again, hitting science classes and changes from the comic books...

MTV: So you guys are in rehearsals, right? What is that process like at this point?

STONE: Today I went and did hair tests, because I have blonde hair now since Gwen has blonde hair. My natural hair is blonde, so it's kind of nice. I looked in the mirror and said, "Oh my god, it's me again, it's been so long!" We're finalizing the visual stuff. And I think we'll start actually rehearsing, because we start shooting in two weeks. Andrew and I went and learned about science yesterday. Gwen really likes science, so we learned about science. I was home-schooled, so I never went to chemistry class in a traditional setting like Gwen is into. That was really beneficial.

MTV: We spoke to Kirsten Dunst recently and she said that two things you guys have to get used to are swinging around a lot and acting to nothing.

STONE: That makes total sense. We'll see how it goes. I don't know how it'll go. I don't get motion-sickness, so I hope that doesn't change.

MTV: What have you conversations with Marc been like? Has he encouraged you to go back and read the comics or just concentrate on what's on the page?

STONE: There are a lot of changes happening on a day to day basis. There's a lot of open dialogue about where we're going with this and how Peter and Gwen are going to come together and what makes the most sense for the story we're telling. It's an ever-changing thing. We're still in that development period. It's so fantastic. My background is in improv and things like that, so this kind of ever-changing nature is ideal for me.

MTV: There seemed to be so much competition for the role of Gwen Stacy. Do you ever think, "Why me?" What do you think won you the part?

STONE: I ask myself that question every day. I have no f--king idea. It's the most amazing idea, I can't even tell you. I don't think I ever will figure out how it happened. It's been mind-blowing. I know things will eventually change, so I'm just trying to avoid thinking about it and just enjoy it while it's happening. Ugh, what am I even saying? Don't write any of that down!
