SPOILERS: The Truth About Zendaya's SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING Role Finally Revealed
So, is she Mary Jane or not? There's been speculation about Zendaya's role in Spider-Man: Homecoming for well over a year and we finally have an answer about who she's playing which is sure to shock you!
After five Spider-Man movies revolving around Mary Jane Watson and Gwen Stacy, it seemed strange to have neither appear in Spider-Man: Homecoming. That's probably why Zendaya's Michelle has been rumoured as being Mary Jane Watson since pretty much the day she was cast and now Bleeding Cool - who have seen the movie - has finally shed some light on who the model turned actress is playing.
It turns out that Zendaya really is Michelle and isn't really all that friendly to Peter Parker throughout the film and only takes a step closer to becoming so when she's chosen as the Academic Decathlon team leader near the end of the reboot. It's then that she tells them her friends "call me MJ."
That's a very, very strange Easter Egg, especially as "Mary" and "Michelle" aren't even close to being the same name and their personalities sound vastly different based on what we hear here and have seen in TV spots and trailers. Either way, she isn't Mary Jane Watson so that character could still be introduced somewhere down the line. Perhaps the whole "MJ" thing is just poking fun at the rumours!
