A few years ago I thought to myself that she would be a perfect casting as Jean Grey, now it looks like it might be happening? Slowly but surely Marvel is getting closer to the X-Men.
I think she perfect age and size to play Jean when Jean was A teenager. I highly doubt that they make the X-Men full fledge adults outside of Wolvirine and A few others.
We had a teenager Jean Gray with Sophie Turner. I think she was good enough for that role, others didn't seem to think so, and if she didn't then I don't know Sadie Sink would fit the bill. I certainly don't think so.
It would be the same first and middle initials AND same last name; Zendaya's character is named Michelle Jones WATSON. She is 100% this series' version of Mary Jane.
The character name is Mary Jane Watson….. not Mj it’s only mj as a Nickname by Peter and they would introduce a character name Mary Jane Watson not mj. I love Zendaya, but she was never the the iconic Mary Jane Watson
Breh… she is MJ. People have to get over MCU characters not being a carbon copy of main 616 characters. Names can be different within every universe. Her full name is Michelle Jones-Watson. c’mon now
I thought Carlie Cooper then I remembered that Sony isn't doing a grounded street story and it's multiversal bullshit and yeah it's likely gonna be someone like Jean Grey or something.
Everyone's got a role for me... Team leader. Cancer survivor. Cover story. Mutant. And I am all those things and then some. But what about how I define myself? What I want my life to be about? And allowing myself the chance to succeed or fail at it.
Firestar
I had "Episode of Firestar" on a VHS tape, I watched it plenty of times. Weirdly first thing that comes to my mind was a scene where she was making her father instant coffee by the sink with her powers and a weird commercial pre-roll of Spider-Man telling me to vote, that used to scare me as a kid.
well if she's jean, god have mercy on the other castings. she hasnt aged a day from when she first appeared in stranger things. and that will have been almost 10 years ago now when she was like 10 or something

Another possibility is Mary Jane

We also already have an MJ.
There is no good reason why there would just happen to be another near-identically named woman also involved with Spider-Man in the same continuity.
people have the same initials all the time lmao 😭 Mary Jane and Michelle Jones totally different how is that hard to compute?
Zendaya’s MJ has most of the important characteristics of the character even if she doesn’t have the actual name
Do we have one yet?
Firestar
Bold Strategy by Marvel to bring Lady Stilt-Man into the MCU this late in the game but we can see the vision
So excited to see her
I’m a big fan of her Sadie sink
Me, a chad: Firestar.
