I've considered including the iconic redhead in this project for some time. It's just I could never find the right way to do it with the story we were telling, but with recent screenplay revisions and going back to the drawing board with some aspects, we now know feel the need to include MJ in our gallery of classic Spider-Man characters. Mary Jane in this project is closest to her early appearances in the issues by Stan Lee and John Romita Sr of which this film is based upon. In those issues, Mary Jane was the charismatic, witty delightful, energetic, and show stealing party girl who occasionally would show her true colors when faced with serious situations, which is exactly what we're going for.
