So hey even though Kevin Feige is kinda covering his ass on the whole Michelle/MJ thing, writer Jon Francis Daley said he fully intended for her to be the new Mary Jane when he was putting the script together, and has lamented that ultimately it’s not his call. Outside the whole he-said-he-said publicity nonsense the film 100% plays as though Michelle is supposed to be MJ. -wackd
Ya know what, I still haven’t seen it yet, but I’m gonna ROLL WITH THAT and assume she’s Mary Jane who just changed her name (but still likes the MJ nickname.)
(Of course a sequel may still ruin that but…. still.)
