Zendaya's "MJ": Future as a Comics Character?

[Citizen Kane]

There isn't a "no" option here...

[Revolutionary_Jack]

Characters don't tend to transfer well from screen to page as so much is in the actor/actress' ability, mannerisms and general charisma. Zendaya is an absolute star and is doing incredible work both in the MCU and outside. Without the actress how much of cinematic MJ is left?

I'm sure there are better examples but my immediate go-to is the time Marvel decided to bring the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Absolute disaster!

Did you read where they eventually went with Coulson? Look what they did to my boy.

Right, I mean they never tried to transfer Kirsten Dunst to comics MJ when the movie came out, nor Tobey into 616 Peter (aside from some gags here and there). Granted the OSBORN series by Kelly Sue DeConnick and Emma Rios did make Norman with Dafoe's face (but with the Joseph Cotten hairstyle).

What happened with Coulson?

I think "Make Peter give birth to himself so he gets organic webs" is a bit more than a gag .

Why? She's just different version of Mary Jane, even though she has different name (no idea why, by the way).

So, should the Zendaya movie character, Michelle "MJ" Jones, become a supporting character in the Spider-Man comics series?

If so, who should be a supporting character for?

Peter?
Miles
Ben?
Gwen? (on her world or 616?)

There's an argument to be made that Michelle Jones’ emo-snarky character could be a relatively easy fit for Miles who is still in high school.
In comparison, the character would presumably have to be rebooted at least slightly to fit in better with the social worlds of adult Peter, as well as Ben Reilly.
Apart from that, if Michelle were placed more directly as a supporting character of Gwen Stacy, that would have interesting implications for Gwen’s college world (as well as being a refugee of her home Earth).

Since she is a female minority character, Marvel will try and find a non Peter place for her ( she could even become a super heroine). The most recent example is Cindy Moon. Does it mean it will be successful? No look at Felicia Hardy without Spider-Man ( Ben Reilly included), but trust me they will try.

[Hypestyle]

well let's see, in Peter's life, Glory hasn't been around lately, and Lilly Hollister is Queen Cat now (where is she?)... michelle gonzales not around...
scarcely few minority women in Peter's social circles now...

If they eventually do an MJ Into The MJ-Verse series then MCU MJ can appear as one of the multiverse MJ's.

They totally should do an "Into the MJ-Verse" series.

It would be a much more fun concept than the so lazy it's unbelievable Gwenverse with "Gwen" cosplaying as different superheroes. At least with MJ, there are already some pre-established and distinguished alt universe personalities like the MC2 and Renew Your Vows Mom Jays, Spider-Man: India's Meera Jain, the lesbian Spider-Woman MJ and Spider-Ham's Mary Jane Waterbuffalo.

[Spiderfan001]

Please no more multiverse stuff, leave MJ alone

A cool team up w/ the existing ones maybe but not the Gwen/Miles(what if) concept

[Kevinroc]

What happened with Coulson?

He was killed by Deadpool, resurrected by Mephisto, and became a villain who tried to remake the world into a twisted version of the DCU.

[the illustrious mr. kenway]

edit- nvm.

[Lukmendes]

He was killed by Deadpool, resurrected by Mephisto, and became a villain who tried to remake the world into a twisted version of the DCU.

So Mephisto made him into DiDio? That's, fitting somehow .

We need more MJ books to be honest.

Absolutely, I'd be down for another AMJ but it should not feel the need to send MJ away because that hurts both ASM and AMJ.And Maybe if it's not a stealth mysterio solo.

Also MJ not lying to Peter about working w/ a supervillain for a movie would be nice as well.
