Why Zendaya Shaking Up The ‘Spider-Man’ Universe Rules

“Mary Jane” was trending on Twitter on Thursday night, and it’s not because we’re anywhere close to 4/20. A report was released in which Zendaya, the Disney Channel star and pop artist, was confirmed to be playing Mary Jane Watson, Spider-Man’s primary love interest, in the upcoming reboot of the Marvel franchise, Spider-Man: Homecoming. 

Zendaya has long been attached to the project, which will star British newcomer Tom Holland, but in an undisclosed capacity; according to The Wrap, she’ll be taking on the role once made famous by Kirsten Dunset in Sam Raimi’s film trilogy last decade. And even if you’ve never seen an episode of Shake It Up! or K.C. Undercover, you should be pretty jazzed about this hopefully-true rumor.
