澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Spider-Man: Homecoming actor Zendaya has revealed tha💃t she didn’t know she was auditioning for the role of MJ. In Spidey’s first solo MCU outing, Zendaya was only revealed to be playing the iconic comic-book character towards the end of the movie, though her name is Michelle Jones rather than the more familiar Mary Jane🐷.

In a video with , and reported by , Zendaya shared: "We weren’t supposed to know that the script pages that we were reading were for Spider-Man, but I did find out that it was for Spider-Man cause꧑ I have good agents. But I didn’t know what role I was auditioning for. I just thought it was 'girl in Spider-Man movie.' I didn’t really know what character, or what kind of character, they would be."

She then said: “Right before the screen test, they were kind of saying okay these are the characters that we’re reading for, MJ being one of them, an🦹d I was like "'oh that🌠 would be so cool!'"

Kirsten Dunst famously brought ♈MJ to the big screen in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy, but the character was absent from The Amazing Spider-Man movies. Zendaya&rsquo♈;s version of the character is a very unique take, which is a breath of fresh air considering this is the third live-action iteration of Spidey we’ve seen in the last two decades.

Zendaya will be reprising her role in the currently untitled 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Spider-Man 3, which is potentially shaping up to be an epic crossover – with 澳洲𒈔幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dunst possibly r🥀eturning as her own version of MJ, along with (reportedly) Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield as their respective versions of Peter Parker. ཧ澳🌠洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Jamie Foxx is also said to be back as Electro, along with (again, reportedly) 澳๊洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Alfred Molina as the multi-tentacled Doc Ock.

While we wait for Spider-Man 3 to hit the big screen on December 17 2021, check out everything we know so far about 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Phase 4.
