(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Emma Stone has revealed she bonded with Bryce Dallas Howard over the role of Gwen Stacy.

The 22-year-old actress has recently been cast in the part for the new Spider-Man reboot alongside Andrew Garfield. The star found out she'd be playing the love interest of the comic book hero while on the set of The Help, which also stars Bryce who previously played Gwen.

Emma says it was a great experience to be able to share her excitement with a fellow actress who had starred in the same role.

"I found out while I was on set of The Help," she told MTV. "It was pretty great to be together for that."

Bryce has confessed she was just as excited as Emma about the casting. The 30-year-old actress was "stoked" to find out that Emma had clinched the part.

"Representing as redheads!" she joked. "I'm one of those people that goes online and reads gossip about movies, so pretty early on, there was some buzz. I was stoked."

Emma insists she hasn't seen any of the new movie yet. The red-headed beauty added she is looking forward to watching the final scenes upon their completion.

"I've seen nothing, I promise. I've seen small action sequences for the 3D, and it looked terrible," she joked. "I really haven't seen [anything]."

Emma has revealed how she prepared for the iconic role. The American star read up on comic book history before tackling the part.

"I read a pretty comprehensive 'Death of the Stacys' book ... and it's a really amazing book to learn the story of Captain Stacy and Gwen Stacy," she said. "And I've read a various amount of comics." (C) Cover Media
