8 Things We Learned From The Spider-Man: Homecoming Trailer

After months of waiting, last night we finally got our first look at the highly anticipated Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thankfully, it seems to have carried on the good work of Captain America: Civil War and served up a faithful, yet fresh, take on the familiar hero.

6) Zendaya Is (Probably) Not Mary Jane

When Peter and his pal Ned are drooling over Liz, they’re interrupted by another girl who calls them “losers.”

This is actually a near unrecognizable Zendaya, who has long been rumoured to be playing Peter’s main love interest – and possibly a new version of Mary Jane Watson. It’s fair to say Zendaya’s character – credited as Michelle – is nothing like the typical MJ. Instead of a flighty would-be supermodel, Michelle looks to be an anti-social bookworm who is far from the popular clique at school. Probably because she likes to speak her mind and call a loser a loser.

Given how fervent these rumours have been, though, we’d be surprised if Zendaya was neither Peter’s true love interest or MJ. To go back to Spectacular Spider-Man – which is naturally an inspiration for this movie as it also focused on Peter’s high school days – Gwen Stacy was portrayed as geeky unpopular girl on that show. Eventually Peter sees past the superficial attraction of girls like Liz and falls for Gwen’s personality. This could be what will happen between Peter and ‘Michelle’ in Homecoming.
