Zendaya isn’t Mary-Jane Watson

As far as Spider-Man: Homecoming is concerned, there are plenty of things we know, as well as plenty of things we aren’t so sure about. Zendaya falls in the latter category. At first, it was rumored that she will portray Michele Gonzales, who had a fling at one time with Peter Parker and who was also his roommate.

But then it was (almost) officially confirmed that she will in fact portray Mary-Jane Watson, which seems to me to be a politically-correct decision, if true.

Well, it was almost confirmed. The most recent rumors say that Zendaya is indeed portraying Michele and that she will be just a fling before Peter Parker finds his one true love. And that is great, as far as I am concerned, since this gives more depth to the relationship.

Furthermore, having Zendaya as Michele does open some interesting possibilities for the future of the Spider-Man franchise. I guess I am not the only one who wants to see villains like Chameleon on the big screen…
