Spider-Man: Far From Home - 8 Fan Demands That Must Happen
7. More Of Peter With MJ
Marvel Studios
Zendaya's MJ was a clear highlight from Spider-Man: Homecoming, which is why it's so great to see her return for the sequel.
Although Peter spent the majority of his time in the first film pining over Liz Toomes, there was plenty of chemistry between him and Michelle, and it's with that in mind that fans have been so keen to see them back together on the big screen, even as Parker gears up to leave his comfort zone by travelling Europe.
The latest batch of set photos have shown Spidey swinging around with Michelle back in New York, in what's likely to be his final outfit for Far From Home. While it doesn't confirm that the pair are getting together (Marvel could just save the payoff for this in the third Spider-Man film), it does perhaps hint that they aren't far away from such a thing happening.
Apart from that, it'll be great in general just to see Zendaya back as this new MJ. Between Homecoming and the latest Spider-Man video game, we've witnessed a genuine effort from storytellers to bring the character of Mary Jane into the 21st century, and Far From Home is likely to continue that trend.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
