Zendaya's MJ: A Bigger Role Than You Think?
The internet is buzzing with excitement and speculation about Zendaya's upcoming role in the highly anticipated Spider-Man: Brand New Day. With conflicting reports and hints from the production team, it's time to dive into the mystery surrounding MJ's character.
While Zendaya's return as Michelle Jones-Watson (MJ) was confirmed for the next Spider-Man installment, the extent of her role has been a topic of debate. The ending of Spider-Man: No Way Home left fans with a glimmer of hope, as MJ seemed to remember Peter Parker despite Doctor Strange's spell. This has sparked theories about the potential rekindling of their love story.
But here's where it gets controversial... Zendaya's stylist, Law Roach, recently dropped a hint during a red carpet interview. He revealed that he's already preparing outfits for the actress to wear on the movie's press tour. Now, this might not seem like a big deal, but it's a strong indicator that Zendaya's role is more substantial than a simple cameo. After all, why would someone with a minor role need a red carpet appearance?
Zendaya has also been spotted on set with Tom Holland, further fueling the fire. Fans speculate that MJ will regain her memories of Spider-Man's true identity during this street-level adventure. Jacob Batalon's return as Ned and rumors of Tony Revolori's comeback as Flash Thompson add to the excitement.
Tom Holland himself has expressed his enthusiasm for the script, describing it as "a real movie worthy of the fans' respect." He and Zendaya were reportedly bouncing around the living room after reading it together.
And this is the part most people miss... Spider-Man: Brand New Day shares its title with a controversial era in the comics. During this period, Spider-Man's marriage to Mary Jane Watson ended, and he faced new foes and a fresh supporting cast. The MCU version seems to be taking a similar approach, with Spidey teaming up and potentially fighting The Punisher and Savage Hulk, alongside several other villains.
The director, Destin Daniel Cretton, has his work cut out for him, bringing this complex story to life. With a star-studded cast, including Jon Bernthal, Mark Ruffalo, and Florence Pugh, expectations are high.
So, will MJ's role be the game-changer fans are hoping for? Only time will tell. What do you think? Will Zendaya's MJ steal the show, or is this all just hype? Let us know in the comments!
