Is Zendaya going to have a much larger role than expected? A reveal on the red carpet suggests MJ may be playing a substantial part in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
One of the biggest questions heading into Spider-Man: Brand New Day is how big of a role the returning supporting cast will play in the upcoming film. While Zendaya’s MJ and Jacob Batalon’s Ned Leeds are fan-favorite characters, many fans are hoping they don’t appear as more than cameos as the film seeks to charter new beginnings for the webhead.
However, it seems as though the actress may have a much bigger role than anyone was expecting. Zendaya’s stylist, Law Roach, recently spoke on the actress’ upcoming engagements in a recent red carpet interview with Entertainment Tonight. During the chat, they let slip that they were already preparing outfits for Spider-Man: Brand New Day‘s press tour, suggesting that Zendaya may have a major presence in the film’s marketing.
What Is Zendaya’s Role In Spider-Man: Brand New Day?
It’s important to note that Zendaya isn’t just one of the biggest young female celebrities- she’s also engaged to Tom Holland. It’s likely that, even if her big toe was only seen in the corner of a shot, Marvel Studios would be wheeling her out for the press tour. So this doesn’t reveal too much about what kind of role she’ll play in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
However, the rumor mill has suggested that MJ may be a looming presence in the film. Zendaya’s role could potentially be less as a character and more as a constant reminder of what Spider-Man left behind when he rid himself of Peter Parker. Though with Spider-Man: Brand New Day due out next summer, it’s likely the truth about her role will be coming sooner than later.
