With Zendaya rumored to reprise her role as MJ alongside Tom Holland in Spider-Man 4, her return offers a chance to address a tragic trend in the MCU. Originally portrayed as classmates and friends in Spider-Man: Homecoming, their characters evolved into a romantic relationship by the end of Far From Home.
However, the couple faced a heartbreaking separation in No Way Home when Peter’s decision led to MJ forgetting their history together. While the exact timeline of Spider-Man 4 remains unclear, Peter’s journey in navigating his newfound anonymity will likely be central.
The potential reunion of Peter and MJ, with their beloved chemistry, presents an opportunity for the MCU to offer them a happier resolution in Spider-Man 4.
Peter and MJ Can Break The Trend Of Tragic Endings Seen In Many MCU Couples
In recent years, many MCU couples have met tragic endings. Established pairs like Tony and Pepper or Thor and Jane saw their relationships end due to character deaths, while others like Peter and Gamora parted ways.
However, Peter and MJ’s relationship doesn’t have to follow this pattern. Despite the potential for a tragic outcome, the MCU has the opportunity to take its story in a different direction. A reunion between the two characters would inject unpredictability into their relationship.
With Zendaya‘s rumored return in Spider-Man 4 sparking speculation about MJ’s role, the possibilities range from becoming Peter’s ultimate goal to potentially taking on a heroic identity herself.
While potential endings like MJ’s demise or Peter’s choosing to leave her may provide compelling plotlines, a reconciliation between the two for a peaceful future would offer a more satisfying resolution.
How Peter and MJ Could Find Happiness In Spider-Man 4
In Spider-Man 4, the best scenario for Peter and MJ would be for MJ to remember Peter again after the events of No Way Home. Even if she doesn’t fully recall him, Peter could earn her trust with small gestures like the Black Dahlia necklace.
Since neither Holland’s Peter nor Zendaya’s MJ will stick around in the MCU forever, Spider-Man 4 needs to set the stage for a potential happy ending, whether it’s them settling down or MJ supporting Peter as Spider-Man.
After the events of No Way Home, it seems like Peter and MJ might have a sad fate like other MCU couples. However, Zendaya’s rumored return for Spider-Man 4 offers hope that the franchise will break this trend of tragic relationships.
A happy ending would be fitting for the characters and would also defy expectations of a sad outcome for MJ. Regardless of the storyline of Spider-Man 4, the return of Holland and Zendaya hints at some form of reconciliation.
