Who's gonna kiss Spider-Man in the rain while he hangs upside down?

It's been relatively quiet on the Spider-Man front since Andrew Garfield was named to play the friendly neighborhood wallcrawler. But that's all about to end because he needs someone he can yearn for and eventually kiss from  beneath his mask. Preferably someone of the female variety. Although, it would be interesting if they went in the total opposite direction. Marvel Comics would have a conniption fit, but think of the buzz!

The list of contenders to play Spidey's love interest has been revealed, and frankly I only recognize half of them. But two of the names on that list get me all hot 'n bothered, so I'm hoping one of them snags it. The list is...

Imogen Poots(Solitary Man)
Ophelia Lovibond(Nowhere Boy, which I know nothing about)
Lily Collins(90210)
Teresa Palmer(The Sorcerer's Apprentice)
Emma Roberts(Aquamarine, oh and she's Julia Roberts' niece)
Mary Elizabeth Winstead(Scott Pilgrim vs. The World)

Obviously I'm rooting for the ultra sexy Winstead to get it. Not only is she a pro at playing the love interest for wimpy looking but secretly powerful dudes(she did it in both Sky High and Scott Pilgrim), but she's also the flat out best actress of the bunch. Ok, and she's the sexiest. I'm biased. So sue me.
