Does MJ mean Mary Jane?
While Zendaya plays “MJ” in the MCU's Spider-Man movies, her character is actually Michelle Jones — not Mary Jane. The character pays homage to Mary Jane and pursues a love interest with the shy Peter Parker (Tom Holland) throughout her film appearances.
Why is MJ different from all the other Mary Janes?
- Later in that same trailer, Peter tries to say he told her but MJ takes a stand and tells Ned that she figured it out herself. Why is this important, you ask? Because almost every other version of Mary Jane (to be fair, Michelle Jones is a different character entirely) is either oblivious to Peter’s other life or doesn’t call him on it.
Who is MJ in Mary Jane and Zendaya?
- Zendaya’s MJ (aka Michelle Jones) is sort of half twist, half homage to the original character, with the initials MJ nodding to Spidey's OG love interest. So she is, and also kinda isn’t, Mary Jane.
Why is Mary Jane important in the MCU?
- Because almost every other version of Mary Jane (to be fair, Michelle Jones is a different character entirely) is either oblivious to Peter’s other life or doesn’t call him on it. So, why does that make the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s MJ important?
Why was Mary Jane not in Spiderman movie?
- Having an engaging supporting character around and remain relevant without any powers in the Marvel universe requires a lot of spunk, and this was the kind of quality the comic book Mary Jane carried. The film version lacked all of this, unfortunately, as she was more of a girly girl.
