Marvel’s Spider-Man: 8 Characters The New Movies Need To Introduce
7. Anna Watson
Anna is the kindly Aunt of Mary Jane Watson. Shes also Aunt Mays best friend and the one who set Peter and Mary Jane up on their first blind date. Basically, Peter has a lot to thank her for. Im not suggesting that Anna and May be given some sort of major subplot (I still remember the horror of ITVs granny detectives Rosemary and Thyme) but its the idea of Peter resisting the efforts of his Aunt and her friend to set him up only to meet MJ at the films end that really appeals from a comedic and emotional standpoint. It would also provide a great deal of levity throughout the film, as Peter would struggle with not just his powers, his enemies/school bullies and getting good grades but also with being harangued about his love life every time he gets home. It would also provide the film with a great payoff. Just imagine, the carnage of the film settles and at the end of the third act Peter opens the door to the date hes reluctantly accepted to be met with the immortal line; Face it, Tiger, you just hit the jackpot. Bang. End credits. The crowd goes wild.
Stereotypically awkward writer, gamer and general nerd. Dislikes writing in the third person, likes tea as much as the next man but not as much as a typical blogger and has breath as fresh as a summer ham.
