Thanks! After seeing the image of baby Mayday first, I didn’t bother to watch the trailer because I thought that would be the only thing of interest to me. Guess I was wrong! Will I see the 1994 Spider-Man in the trailer?

There is an unfortunate lack of worlds in which MJ was bitten by the spider. I can only think of two off the top of my head and one of them is a lesbian so not likely to have a daughter with Peter.
Mayday is the brown haired one who doesn't develop powers until she's fifteen.
Annie is the red haired one who has powers as a baby or toddler. In most worlds that aren't RYV she's called May.

I'm guessing Slott may be trying to pull something like the Legion of Substitute Heroes from DC's Legion of Super-Heroes, where it's the underestimated/reject characters with the not-so-cool powers or motifs that nonetheless step up and ultimately help save the day when the Legion proper is incapacitated, though I can acknowledge the execution could be better, to say the least.
The spider is always on the hunt.
I guess that makes sense, do a sort of underdog story. But...I think he could have done the same story with the fan favorites like Mayday while also bringing in the new guys if one feels so inclined to do so, I personally don't like any of the new Spiders, they are all pretty bland characters.

Ecstatic to have Mayday in the new film, though I wish she had her brown hair and not the red. Too often people tend to give Peter and Mary Jane’s daughters red hair and they just end up looking like mini Mary Janes and seems like Peter didn’t contribute any DNA to the child’s appearance.
Not a fan at all of what Slott’s done to Mayday and Annie in the current Spider-Verse story. I don’t trust him with them and I’m just hoping they make it out of the story okay and back to their normal selves.
I have a working theory that MJ's red hair is something the Parker kids tend to start with when they are younger and grow out of as they get older. Take Benjy for instance...
Red-haired Benjy (Then):

Brown-haired Benjy (Now):

He started off with his Momma's red hair but now seems to have his Poppa's brown hair. But then again, I could be completely off the mark...
Baby Mayday:

Mayday seems to have started right off the bat with Peter's brown hair, so...genetics are either just goofy in the Marvel Universe or normal...? If not normal then it probably ties to the fact that The Celestials mucked about with Humanity's DNA for so long (who knows what those giant bastards did...), something which isn't applicable to human beings in real life...that we know of. But I am not a geneticist nor do I pretend to be one. I am just a guy on the internetz.

As I understand it, red hair is a recessive trait. So if Peter is a carrier for red hair and Mary Jane has red hair then there is a fifty-fifty chance of their children having red hair. That said, that's just the really simple version and I gather that real-life genetics is always more complicated than you think.

MC2 Peter is in this week's issue of Slott Spider-Man, though you'll have difficulty recognising him as he's now a savage Other beast and a prisoner of Shathra and Mayday doesn't believe that it's him. Guess this takes place before Mayday's merry little adventure in the Infinity Comics.
