The film 'Spider-Man: Never Going Home' opened in theaters less than two weeks ago and is already the highest-grossing of the year worldwide. But there are parts of the long-term member of Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) that are gradually being discovered. One is that the studio wanted to turn MJ, Zendaya's character, into a superhero.
In an interview with the Russian channel OK Na Svyazi, the case was mentioned by Tom Holland, who plays Peter Parker in the MCU. “They were trying for a while, weren't they? Remember that?” asked the British actor.

Zendaya then agreed and emphasized that she was satisfied with MJ without the powers. “I leave the superhero him [Holland]. I'm actually really happy with MJ and the character that she is and the role that she plays,” added the actress.
For her, giving powers to the character could get in the way of the friendship between MJ Peter and Ned Leeds, played by Jacob Batalon. "I think what's really special about what [director John Watts] does, I think also Ned, MJ and Peter, is creating this beautiful friendship and this love between them, and this beautiful love story that exists." .
Zendaya also highlighted that she believes MJ works best as part of a team. If Spider-Man is going to save the world, he needs help. "He can't do this alone, at the end of the day he's just a young man trying to figure it out, that's where Ned and MJ come in and try to help him figure it out." The actress also highlighted that the trio of friends is quite intelligent and together they support each other.
It is worth remembering that the MJ of the 'Spider-Man' films in the MCU is not the Mary Jane Watson known from the comics and who reached the screens in the trilogy of Sam Raimi Kirsten Dunst in the role. Starting with the initials of the name, which means Michelle Jones.
In comics, the character already had alter egos or superheroines, including Red Sonja, in a crossover Marvel Team-Up #79, from March 1979. Another appearance of Mary Jane's powers was that of Spider-Woman, in two versions, one being in the universe of the Marvel Mangaverse line and the other in the Exiles series.
'Spider-Man: No Going Home' hit Spanish cinemas on December 16th. Worldwide, the film has grossed $1.082.232.000, according to Box Office Mojo. At the billion-dollar mark, the third feature of 'Spider-Man' in the MCU beat, in just two, twice the amount raised by 'Venom - Time of Carnage', placed 7th and the other feature based on the highest ranked comics .
