ZOOEY Deschanel might be starring in the new Spider-Man movie!
Sources say director Marc Webber – who worked with the actress on Days of Summer – is talking to Zooey about playing Betty Brant, the sexy PA of Daily Bugle boss J Jonah Jameson.
“Betty was a minor character in the previous Spidey movies but Marc has big plans for her,” reveals a movie insider. “He wants a strong performer to carry the role and Zooey fits the bill perfectly. The role is hers if she wants it.”
The new Spider-Man movie, featuring Andrew Garfield in the title role, is due to begin shooting next month.
Zooey recently revealed she’d be a producer if she didn’t make it as singer and actress.
“I have a lot of things I think I could do, like producing music or films,” she said.
“Whatever it is, I would have to always be doing something creative.
