The brand new Spider-Man movie might just be lining up Zooey Deschanel for a role…
Now, this is a promising, if not altogether surprising piece of news. Given that the reboot of Spider-Man is being directed by Marc Webb, and given that Webb previously helmed (500) Days Of Summer, Zooey Deschanel is an actress who was likely to have always been in his mind for his new film. And so it turns out, as she's currently being strongly linked with the role of Betty Brant in the new Spider-Man movie.
Elizabeth Banks took on the role in Sam Raimi's take on Spider-Man, but the role was relegated to the background in his films. Marc Webb, apparently, has bigger plans for Brant, although what they are remains to be seen.
The usual caveat applies here: this one's strictly a rumour thus far. It originated over at Showbiz Spy, and you can find the original story right here.
Spider-Man returns in the summer of 2012, and the shoot is set to begin in just a month or two from now. Blimey.
