    Ok, guess they're either creating an entirely new original love interest for Peter or she's just a friend like Liz Allan? Because I feel like this is going to open a lot of cans of worms for some Spider-Man fans if they ditch Betty, MJ, Gwen or Felica for some random new girl I assume will have to be inserted into the comics in the meantime?

    Unless there's a Michelle in the comics I don't recall? Was that the name of Vin's sister who Peter thought he got 'drunk' and accidentally slept with?

    EDIT: It is! This lady here! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michele_Gonzales



    I will assume that won't happen in the movies.

    She's called Michelle, she's not Mary Jane. And seriously if she is and another red head gets axed after Wally and Jimmy (and now possibly even bloody Archie) in live action, fans will be seriously pissed.

    I just want to hear who the villain is. Gerald Butler as Kraven sounds good to me, except he had two bad movies come out to bad reviews in less then a month.

    Doubt people will be THAT mad by it. Although I DO fear a ginger revolution happening LOL. She's most likely the Michelle Gonzalez chick.

    This is good because I'm SICK of Mary Jane. But that also means MJ will show up with Iron Man in the movies like she is in the books. *shrugs*

    Technically she'd only be half race-bending since she's half white.


    I can see MJ

    To be honest if they were going to include a more recent love interest I would have gone with Carlie Cooper. (Though I always thought she was bland and Gwen Lite so I suspect she wouldn't be that different.) Micelle Gonzales is a little obscure in my opinion, if indeed it is meant to be her...

    Deadline says they don't think this is a love interest, but they may not be working off actual intel there. It would be cool if she was playing MJ or someone... but maybe they don't want to steep this franchise in romance right off the bat, as the last few "Spider-Man 1"s did.

    I'm I the only one who thinks this movie will be a trainwreck? All the casting seems horrible.

    Casting calls often use fake names

    How much of the casting have we heard other than Tom Holland and Zendaya?

    Trainwreck is bit strong. I can't see Marvel/Disney doing as bad as Sony. They're clearly going for something a bit different in a very young Parker. The other two incarnations seemed to bypass Parker in school pretty quickly moreso ASM, so I am looking forward to more school time with Parker but on the other hand getting very Disney channel like vibes with the casting and writers etc so this may not be a film for me.

    Aloha,
    My friend if you think for one minute that Marvel negotiated getting Spidey back so that they could ruin it, think again.
