Spider-Man: No Way Home: 24 WTF Moments

24. MJ's Full Name Is Michelle Jones Watson

An unexpected moment occurs right at the start of the movie when Peter (Tom Holland), MJ (Zendaya), and Ned (Jacob Batalon) are taken into police custody to answer for the claims that Peter was responsible for Mysterio's (Jake Gyllenhaal) death and also caused the London drone attack.

MJ is expectedly surly to the cops, who nevertheless refer to her as "Michelle Jones Watson" - or perhaps Michelle Jones-Watson - before MJ pipes up and insists that she doesn't go by that surname.

MJ doesn't elaborate on why, but it's fair to assume that it's related to some aspect of her upbringing. Either way, it's an interesting nod to the character's more famed moniker, and should hopefully shut the MJ complainers up a little.
