Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The star of Easy A, Superbad, and Zombieland, Emma Stone, will star in Marvel's upcoming reboot of Spider-Man opposite Andrew Garfield ( The Social Network), who will play Peter Parker aka Spider-Man.
"The chemistry between Andrew and Emma was stunning and made Emma the clear choice," said director Marc Webb in the press statement. Webb directed the independent hit (500) Days of Summer.
Stone is cast as the tragic love interest, Gwen Stacy, the role played in Spider-Man 3 by Bryce Dallas Howard ( The Twilight Saga: Eclipse). The Mary Jane Watson role by Kirsten Dunst is not expected to be reprised in this film.
The as-yet-untitled Spider-Man movie begins production in December and will be released in 3D on July 3, 2012.
Next year, the actress stars in Crazy, Stupid, Love opposite Steve Carell; The Help, an adaptation of Kathryn Stockett's bestselling novel; and Friends with Benefits with Justin Timberlake; and she voices a role in the animated comedy The Croods co-starring Ryan Reynolds.
