Disney and Sony’s PC route for Spider-Man: Homecoming looks to continue as now it’s being said Zendaya is playing long time Peter Parker girlfriend and wife in the comics, Mary Jane Watson.
Tony Revolori is also playing Peter Parker nemesis, Flash Thompson.
The news about Zendaya is contrary to previous reports that she is playing a character named Michelle in Spider-Man: Homecoming. The rumor states a script for Spider-Man: Homecoming points to Zendaya playing Mary Jane, but not much else is known.
Sony, Disney and Marvel Studios have yet to confirm the news.
Disney and Marvel have been taking a similar path in their comics by replacing characters with PC versions, which looks to have finally caught up with the company as sales haven’t been that good and fans are getting pretty sick and tired of it all.
In addition, Sony’s recent Ghostbusters reboot was a complete failure.
“Spider-Man: Homecoming” has a July 7, 2017 release directed by Jon Watts starring Tom Holland, Zendaya, Michael Keaton, Donald Glover, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Tyne Daly, Bokeem Woodbine, with Marisa Tomei, and Robert Downey Jr.
Synopsis:
A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Marvel Studios’ “Captain: Civil War,” begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging superhero in “Spider-Man: Homecoming.”
