Elizabeth Banks (Bookstore girl from 40 Year Old Virgin) is a hot as a Nuclear fire. I can’t wait to see her new one Slither this week. However, Elizabeth is also in Spider-Man 3 reprising her role as the secretary of J. Johan Jameson… and according to her… perhaps another love interest for Peter Parker?
Our friends over at Cinescape give us the following:
Banks told MTV, “I do definitely sort of explore a little bit more of my relationship with Peter Parker.” She noted the groundwork is being laid for a Peter-Betty relationship much like the office romance they shared in the comics. “Peter Parker — he actually is Hugh Hefner,” she jokingly added.
Banks also noted, “They’re really exploring the dark side of power, the power a superhero has. Do you use it all for good? That’s the question. That’s the main theme of the movie.”
You know… a few Audio Edition episodes ago we talked about the possibility of them killing off Mary Jane. This is looking more and more like a possibility to me for the following reasons (although I admit these “reasons” are shaky… just play along with me):
1) The supposed plot outline for Spider-Man 3 floating around (see it here) mentions that someone close to Peter dies in the film
2) The above quote by Elizabeth Banks
3) The fact that they’re bringing in Gwen Stacy
Add all that up and to me… it looks like they could be setting the stage for a Mary Jane funeral. I don’t REALLY think that’s what is going to happen… but there is a chance. Your thoughts?
