SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME Star Zendaya Sends Fans Into Frenzy With New Red Hair At Event For The Film SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME Star Zendaya Sends Fans Into Frenzy With New Red Hair At Event For The Film

The Spider-Man: Far From Home cast is currently in London, England and fans are getting seriously psyched after star Zendaya (MJ) has shown off her new, Mary Jane Watson-style red locks. Take a look...

"Face it Tiger, you just hit the jackpot."

At the end of Spider-Man: Homecoming, we learned that Zendaya's Michelle preferred to be called "MJ" by her friends, which received something of a mixed response from fans. 

Clearly a new take on Mary Jane Watson, MJ will be Peter Parker's main love interest in Spider-Man: Far From Home, and now some photos from an event in London reveal that the actress is sporting red hair which makes her look very much like the comic book version of the character. 

Whether this has made it into the sequel is hard to say, and it's possible Zendaya has just dyed her hair for the movie's press tour. 

Spider-Man: Far From Home is bound to deliver a lot of surprises, and some fans are convinced that Michelle Jones will be revealed as Nick Fury's secret daughter! That seems a tad far-fetched, but it would be fun if it were to wrap up with MJ at least sporting the red hair from the comics! Ultimately, though, that's only a cosmetic change to her character and not that essential.

Hot Toys' spectacular Scarlet Spider action figure!

Despite being a product of the controversial Clone Saga, Ben Reilly remains as popular as ever and so it's no wonder Hot Toys has chosen this alternate costume from the game to put the spotlight on.

The character has, of course, made a number of appearances in recent years and is actually alive and well after returning as a villain in The Clone Conspiracy. Like Kaine, though, he later redeemed himself.

Unfortunately, Ben doesn't have his own series right now but that may not be a bad thing after the way the last one wrapped up (a lot of fans weren't happy with Peter David's creative decisions).

Marvel Studios paid homage to this costume in Spider-Man: Homecoming with Peter Parker's homemade suit but it's hard to say whether the concept of clones will ever be introduced in the MCU.

The Jackal would certainly be a fun choice of villain and a movie pitting Spider-Man against Spider-Man would no doubt generate a lot of buzz, especially if Tom Holland were to pull double duty.

Now that Marvel Studios has used time-travel in Avengers: Endgame, there's really no reason to dismiss clones as being too far-fetched but right now, rumours point to the Sinister Six's arrival.

Going back to the Spider-Man video game, it really was something special and Xbox fans are still hoping and praying it will eventually arrive on that console. Unfortunately, it seems unlikely right now.

Marvel's Avengers will be released on both consoles, of course, but there's nowhere near as much positive buzz surrounding that game as there was Spider-Man and some have already dismissed it.

Unlocking the alternate costumes in the game was a great deal of fun and getting to use this one was definitely a bonus and it looked incredible in action. This figure adapts it pretty perfectly.

Hot Toys previously released a Spider-Punk action figure and the newly designed main costume (some fans loved the white spider logo and others hated it but it did look very cool in action).

In the comics, the Scarlet Spider suit isn't particularly detailed but this version does a great job of bringing it into the real world. The way those pouches have been incorporated is really clever too.

As for the hoodie, it's a nice touch having Spidey paint that on, while the red costume underneath is clearly a spandex material similar to what he would wear for his regular Spider-Man suit.

There's currently no word on a Spider-Man sequel but you have to believe one is in the early stages of development, especially after the first game generated great reviews and some huge sales.

Now that Insomniac has a readily designed New York City, that should speed up development on the sequel in a big way. It will need to be improved and polished to not feel like a retread, of course. 
 
No photo description available.


They also need to come up with a new story but if the post-credits scene was any indication, that could revolve around the Green Goblin and possibly even a man-made Venom symbiote.

Either way, we hopefully won't be waiting too long for a Spider-Man sequel to be released because it was easily the best game to feature the wall-crawler to date and was downright amazing.

There were so many costumes to unlock in the first game, it will be interesting seeing where Insomniac turns next. Perhaps we'll get to finally play as Venom or even something as crazy as Spider-Ham!

The 1/6th scale collectible figure features a newly developed masked head, a newly developed body, and a skillfully tailored sleeveless hoodie with detailed Spider-print on both sides.

He obviously has a utility belt and Web-Shooters, along with interchangeable hands for different postures and a stylishly designed figure stand! All of that adds up to being a spectacular package!

That's not all, though, because you'll also get a camera, a pizza, a donut, a drink and a cell phone, and a variety of web accessories. I don't remember a donut in the game but it's a pretty funny touch.

I don't care about the red hair (Zendaya looks hella' fine with it) but I still wish they'd just named her Mary Jane.

And yes, I will say this in every MCU MJ related thread.

@RageDriver2401 - Yeah, it totally feels like they just tried to play it safe, and half-@$$ it. Using the nickname MJ, without fully committing, in order to avoid controversy. It actually appears that they succeeded.😂 But still, out of respect for the actual character, the name should've just been Mary Jane. Reinventing everything else about her, would've been fine.

@RageDriver2401 - i have a feeling as Parker and her get to know each other he may switch to the Mary Jane name as its more intimate. MJ is more of a buddy / friend moniker.

It's nice to see what she officially looks like with red hair, but she's not Mary Jane Watson, she's Michelle Jones.

I think red hair is essential.

I also know a lot of redheads who love MJ and they feel like it's just not her without it.

Zendaya isn't a bad choice, I would like to see her act more "MJ"-ish though.
I hate this notion that her character doesn't matter, any girl in the love-interest role is interchangeable with another.

MJ is important, she's not just a blank canvas, if female characters matter than capturing their characterization should also matter.

She would've been an interesting Starfire.

she should have redhair in the movie. they are certain character that their looks are essential. for example how would you like thor with black hair?

@Superheromoviefan - He has brown hair in the MCU. So it still isn’t blonde.

I still address her as Michelle though, can't help it. With that said the red hair looks nice on her and am looking forward to the cute and awkward romance with her and Peter. A lot of lulz are secured.
