Though Gwen Stacy has experienced a resurgence as of late, spurred on by Emma Stone's fantastic portrayal of the character in the competent, albeit less than memorable Amazing Spider-Man films, Mary Jane Watson is - to many - Spider-Man's definitive partner.
Mary Jane will be more than just a supporting character in the game however. Players will get to take control of MJ as she investigates the Inner Demons for the Daily Bugle, utilising stealth to sneak in and out of areas whilst coordinating with Spidey himself.
It's a great change, especially since MJ hasn't really been given the best treatment in recent years - be it on the page or off it.
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.
