Tom Holland’s Spider-Man: No Way Home remains one of the most beautifully created Spider-Man trilogies ever created. The film is a true testament to its everlasting popularity, as it featured not one but three different actors who helmed the roles.
The movie saw them teaming up and taking down some of the most iconic villains of the franchises. In addition to the action and cameos featured in the film, the romance between Zendaya’s MJ and Holland’s Peter Parker was one of the key reasons to watch the film.
Sadly, the film had a sad ending as everyone forgot the real identity of Spider-Man, thanks to Doctor Strange’s spell. At the end of the film, viewers see how MJ couldn’t remember Parker, leaving him alone. The ending was approved by the fans, as it will help in the development of the character. As a result, fans are not excited about Zendaya’s potential return in Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 4, as fans share their opinion on social media.
Fans Show Disinterest in Zendaya’s Potential Return in Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 4
After the ending of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, the world has forgotten who Spider-Man really was. As a result, he had to restart his life without the help of his family or friends who were once by his side to help him. Zendaya’s Mary Jane was no exception to this cause, as the spell made her forget her better half as well.
Now, it has been rumored that she will be making her return in Spider-Man 4. However, fans are not excited about her return, as they share their opinions on X.
Move on! Spider man needs to step up like Steve rogers… in 100 years he can go back in time and get his life with MJ. However, right now, he needs to get his act together because DOOM is coming

A fan mentions how they have grown bored of watching MJ and Ned as the supporting characters, and they would be happy to see some new supporting characters.
I personally would like to see Peter move on from MJ and Ned for a while and get a new supporting cast

Another fan reinforced the idea of getting bored of watching MJ and Ned next to Parker, and they named a number of other characters who would be a good addition to the franchise.
I think she should return but kind of in a supporting role. Not a main character. I want to see Peter interact with Harry Osborn, Felicia Hardy, Debra Whitman, Eddie Brock, Betty Brant, etc.

A fan tweets that Zendaya should have only 3-4 scenes, where Peter Parker is looking at her from afar or he runs into her, the 4th film should be less focused on their relationship, and more on other characters.
They should just have her as a cameo role. Maybe 3/4 scenes of Peter watching over her or whatever and have him bump into some more of other characters he interacts with. Maybe set MJ to come back for Sipderman 5 or 6. Let him flirt with Black Cat or Gwen.

A fan negates the idea of her return, as they give their opinion and idea of how the film could continue after the world has forgotten about Tom Holland’s Peter Parker.
No. I think it’s time to move on to something new. Tom Holland’s Spider-Man could benefit from a soft reboot. Age him up to his current age, or at least to being out of college. New supporting cast. If you bring back the same crew, I think it risks feeling stale.

Even though nothing has been confirmed for Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 4, it would be better for the franchise to focus more on other love interests like Felicia Hardy, Gwen Stacy, or Betty Brant. These characters had a brief fling with Parker in the comics, and it would make the film look more authentic.
Fans Would Love To See Peter Parker’s Romance With Felicia Hardy and Betty Brant
Countless fans have wanted to see Felicia Hardy, aka Black Cat, making her debut in the Spider-Man films, where she is either fighting villains alongside Parker or as his potential love interest. Their relationship in the comics was shaky, as she loved him only as Spider-Man and not as Peter Parker. Tom Holland is perfect, as he fits in perfectly because of his naivety of the character, but a serious relationship shouldn’t be expected between them.
On the other hand, Betty Brant has already been presented in the MCU, as she was shown in the third film. Fans know that a relationship between them would be worth watching, as we have seen in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy, where the two would constantly flirt, but nothing serious would happen between them. This idea could be shown in the 4th film with a twist, as Parker would feel guilty when Brant flirts with him as she was dating Ned in the 2nd film.
