It's not often that two actresses who have appeared alongside one another in one movie have also played the same role in separate films at different times in their respective careers, but that's just the case with "The Help" co-stars Bryce Dallas Howard and Emma Stone.

If you're a bit confused now, let us quickly untangle this web of a description for you. Howard appeared as the character Gwen Stacy in 2007's "Spider-Man 3," while Stone has taken on the same part for the upcoming superhero reboot "The Amazing Spider-Man."

On Thursday night, when Stone and Howard sat down for the latest installment of MTV's Sneak Peek Week, they opened up about both playing Spider-Man's love interest. When MTV News caught up with the ladies before the Q&A session, we just had to ask Stone what it was like to see the new Spidey, Andrew Garfield, all decked out in his webbed spandex best.

"He looks like Spider-Man, ya know?" she shared. "It's pretty exciting."

Howard also gave her thumbs-up to the latest Spider-Man. "I saw Andrew in a leaked photo," she said. "And he looked really good."

The former Gwen Stacy isn't only excited about Garfield picking up where Tobey Maguire left off, but she's given her blessing, quite enthusiastically, to Stone too.

"I'm one of those people that goes online and reads gossip about movies, so pretty early on, there was some buzz," Howard explained, adding that she visited Stone in her trailer on the set of "The Help" the minute she heard the casting news. "I was stoked."

Stone elaborated a bit more about her time on set as Stacy, sharing that she had a joyous time making "The Amazing Spider-Man," which was directed by Marc Webb. "It was great; it was really wonderful," she dished about shooting the film. "It's something we both, for some reason, get to be a part of, which is wonderful."
