Zendaya will return as MJ in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, set after No Way Home, where Peter Parker struggles after everyone forgets him. The actress teased fans to "bring some tissues," sparking speculation about a tragic twist for MJ. Her Spider-Man-themed promotional outfits have further fueled fan theories, though Marvel has not confirmed any details about her character's fate.

Zendaya is set to reprise her role as MJ opposite Tom Holland in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The upcoming film is set four years after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, where Doctor Strange cast a spell that erased Peter Parker's identity from everyone's memory, allowing reality to stabilise after the multiverse crisis.

As a result, MJ no longer remembers Peter Parker or that he is Spider-Man. The story follows Peter as he grapples with loneliness while trying to reconnect with the people he once shared his life with.
