Stone: 'I want to please Spider-Man fans'
Emma Stone has admitted that she wants Spider-Man fans to embrace her portrayal of Gwen Stacy.
The Easy A star told MTV that she has avoided reading feedback about her casting on the internet because she wants to form her own version of the webslinger's love interest.
"There's a part of me that really wants to please people that love Spider-Man or Gwen Stacy and want her to be done justice. I hope they'll give me licence to interpret her my way. But that fanbase, I'm one of them, so I completely understand why they would be judgemental of certain things," she said.
"I try not to look [at stories on the internet] because I do care and I don't want to psych myself out. I kinda have to stay off the internet. I'm not thick-skinned enough. I get too sensitive. I don't want it to affect what I'm doing."
Discussing her preparations for the comic book film, which casts British actor Andrew Garfield as the Marvel hero, Stone revealed that she has returned to her natural blonde hair colour to match Gwen Stacy.
"I looked in the mirror and said, 'Oh my god, it's me again, it's been so long!' she commented. "We're finalising 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."
