The Rumour: One of the more peculiar yet weirdly plausible rumours came from the movie's junior novelisation, where those with early copies claimed that it revealed Peter's sarcastic classmate Michelle (Zendaya) to have the surname Toomes, making her the daughter of Adrian Toomes aka Vulture.

The Truth: Nice try, but this was clearly a case of some overzealous "leakers" hoping to pull the wool over fans' eyes. Semi-plausible though it was, Zendaya in fact ends up playing Michelle "MJ" Jones, whose full name is finally revealed at the end of the movie.

The rumour did accidentally get one of the movie's big plot twists sorta-right, though, that Vulture has a daughter who attends Peter's high school, with Liz Allan (Laura Harrier) ultimately being revealed as Adrian Toomes' progeny.
