Zendaya is the "real" MJ.
The fact that some think she's a decoy and the real one is still on the way is exactly why I hate what they've done. They're not going to dump a major star like Zendaya, push her aside, bring in a new actress that looks and acts like the comic book version and refer to her as the real one and Peter's true love.
Such optics would look terrible.
Michelle Jones Watson is it.
She will never be the "real" MJ because MJ's name is Mary Jane, not Michelle Jones. She isn't even MJ in name only, only initials. She is a completely different character.
Whether or not the "real" MJ shows up later doesn't make her character the actual MJ.

Then why establish her last name as Watson in No Way Home? If she's a completely different character why give her the exact last name as a character she supposedly has nothing to do with? This is the same s*** they did with John Blake in TDKR.
John Blake isn't a real Robin either.
I personally think they were initially undecided on how much she was MCU Mary Jane, and have gradually but clearly moved towards her being a clear incarnation of that character as the MCU Trilogy progressed, who just has a different name behind for her initials and the conventional re-imagining the MCU does of the comic versions of the character. In particular, I think she was inspired by the Ultimate Comics version of MJ with a side of the Classic Marvel MJ’s “Shields herself from getting emotionally hurt, and secretly knows Peter’s Spider-Man but is genuinely drawn to him nonetheless” aspects.For all intents and purposes, she is the real MJ for the MCU. Doesn't matter what you want to think about her, the movies are treating her as the real deal. They are not gonna shove someone like Zendaya out of the picture, just to bring in some other person who also happens to be named MJ down the road.
Have a substitute for Sabrina Carpenter as Spider-Gwen? Don't know if she's going back to acting right now.
Think she's a great choice. If Gwen Stacy was included from the beginning in the Homecoming trilogy, in high school, do you think Elle would've been a perfect casting choice then? Especially since in this scenario, she will end up as Spider-Gwen.
When DC Studios hire her as Starfire for that photo....Again, Zendaya rocks the red hair. She also looks like Starfire.![]()

Perhaps Miguel O'Hara is a distant descendant of Marc Spector in the MCU.With Nic Cage reprising his Noir role in live action, I wonder if we'll see the same with other characters like Gwen or Miguel? Both actors are perfect.
No, but it's interesting. Just wanted Frodo's opinionDoes it ultimately matter though? Gwen could have been played by any number of people then or now. I don't think there is much use scrolling through fan casts that would have been good 7 years ago
I think the tug of war between Sony and Marvel is real, and maybe the randomness of all the rumors is a reflection of the mess this movie might be having behind the scenes.The rumors for this movie have been random as heck.

I wouldn't say I'm worried but it's a shame they don't have the focus on what the movie should be.
The ending of No Way Home made me think we were gonna have a true Spider-Man classic solo adventure but I guess multiverses and money talks.
Along with events such as a writer's strike and the actor wanting to take some time off to avoid burnout. The rumors could also be deliberate disinformation.I think the tug of war between Sony and Marvel is real, and maybe the randomness of all the rumors is a reflection of the mess this movie might be having behind the scenes.

Plenty of those in the Raimi trilogy.Yeah.
Unfortunately, I don't think we'll get a true , non multiverse romp, Spiderman film, until 2028 , at the earliest, though, 2029 is more likely imo .
The last one was 18 years ago, my friend. I think it might be time to have one of those back.Plenty of those in the Raimi trilogy.
