Divergent star Shailene Woodley has revealed that it’s not just The Amazing Spider-Man 2 she’s left behind, but she could be saying goodbye to her role as long-time Peter Parker love interest Mary Jane Watson in The Amazing Spider-Man 3 too.

Speaking to Total Film, Woodley said, “I have no idea [if I’ll return] and I don’t know that I’d even want to do two franchises at this point. Having been through this.”

The star was originally set to appear in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and a single shot of her remains in the trailer. Does this mean MJ could be getting recast for the threequel, or will they be keeping around Emma Stone’s magnetic Gwen Stacy far longer than anticipated?

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is due 2 May 2014, while The Amazing Spider-Man is out now. Order it now on DVD for £10 and Blu-ray for £14.99 from Amazon.co.uk.
