Bryce Dallas Howard talked with MovieWeb recently about her work on SPIDER-MAN 3. In the film, Howard's character Gwen Stacy rivals M.J. for Peter Parker's affections, as he becomes overconfident and starts to neglect the people who care about him most.

Howard says she was most surprised by "the amount of time that was devoted to the complexity of the characters, rehearsals and how much effort the producers and obviously Sam put into making sure that this was a film with a lot of gravity to it. I just assumed our focus would be on CGI and the action. I was really delighted by that and I was also surprised by the fact that the set felt so intimate? It felt like we were making some kind of independent film. Everyone knew each other, it was almost like a family. When I saw the film finally, just a couple of days ago, I was like, oh my God!"

The actress goes on to note that "Sam, wasn't initially too excited about putting this character in the film. Then he warmed up to it figuring that the character would be introduced in this film, and then explored in later films if need be."

And in terms of how the film was different from her other projects Howard said, "Well, falling out of buildings. I loved the heightened realism of the dance sequence in the bar because... you don't get to do things like that. It felt like an old Hollywood musical. "

I loved her in The Village and Lady in the Water. I can't wait to see her in SM3 tomorrow.

I wasn't too happy initially about Stacy being in the movie either, but I had faith in Sam and I realized that I have no say in the matter. They can pretty much do what they want.

ponyboy-- I'm with you on putting Gwen into the film after Mary Jane is already the love interest, and after Norman Osborn was already killed. I realize that not everything can mirror the comics, but they could have used Betty Brant as Eddie Brock's girlfriend who gets a crush on Spidey/Peter. There's no need to drag a new character and a new actress into the mix, especially when Elizabeth Banks would do well with an expanded role for Betty. All that aside, Howard is a perfect choice for Gwen Stacy.

I saw the midnight show last night, and I won't go into any details, but SM3 was awesome! Far superior than 1 and 2. And Bryce Dallas Howard was awesome as Gwen Stacy . . . not to mention HOT!!!

I'm seeing it shortly. After they swapped MJ for Gwen on the famous bridge scene, and MJ survived, I was initially a LITTLE hesitant about Gwen being added. That said, I'm easy when it comes to movie diverting from comic book established continuity - despite what many may think, my disliking X3 has almost nothing at all to do with its relationship to the comics - and I do really like Ms. Howard, so her being cast first had me chuckling "they cast a blonde as a red-head and now a red-head as a blonde!" then I thought "Bryce is a better actress, IMO, than Kirsten so this can only be good."

I love the dance scene she and Tobey Maguire have in front of a jealous Mary Jane.
