(All the while, set photos have also been leaking.) When it comes to the cast, it\u2019s known that Holland will be joined by a few familiar faces, including Zendaya and Jacob Batalon. Specifics on Zendaya\u2019s return (likely as Michelle \u201cMJ\u201d Jones) are under wraps. Yet there\u2019s now evidence that has fans convinced the actress dyed her hair for her Marvel return.<\/p>\n Something that a number of fans have long wanted from Michelle Jones is to see her sporting the iconic red hair that Mary Jane Watson has in the Spider-Man comics. Alas, Jones remained a brunette throughout Jon Watts\u2019 \u201chome\u201d trilogy. However, some are of the impression that they\u2019re finally getting their wish, thanks to a behind-the-scenes photo. In the pic, which was shared by MCU Film News on X<\/a>, Zendaya appears alongside some cast and crew members, and her locks are notably hidden under a hoodie.<\/p>\n While the MJ actress\u2019 hairdo is greatly concealed, some fans have seemingly spotted a bit of her hair sticking out. One X user named @JJoseRiveraa<\/a> commented on a post in which the photo was shared, saying, \u201cYou can see her hair poking out the hoodie has like a red velvet look.\u201d Under that same post, @theeasynerd<\/a> also opined that the starlet is now playing MJ with \u201cred hair.\u201d Likewise, @DevolGlaze<\/a> also thinks the A-lister is \u201cgoing red\u201d for her return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.<\/p>\n This is all simply speculation at this point, of course, though the evidence that\u2019s been presented so far is quite interesting. In the first place, it\u2019s also strange that Zendaya would even cover up her hair in a photo, though maybe that\u2019s just a personal preference as opposed to an attempt to hide a spoiler. Fans likely won\u2019t know for sure what\u2019s going on for quite some time, but I wouldn\u2019t throw out the notion of a red-haired MJ appearing in Brand New Day.<\/p>\n More on Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/p>\n Bruce Banner as Smart Hulk listening to his cousin Jennifer talking<\/p>\n Mark Ruffalo Breaks Silence On Rumored Spider-Man: Brand New Day Role<\/a><\/p>\n At the very least, one detail that is completely confirmed is the future of Ned Leeds<\/a>, Peter Parker\u2019s best friend. The set photo shows Ned actor Jacob Batalon wearing an MIT shirt, which would seemingly confirm that the character did end up going to the university after graduating high school. However, there\u2019s still the question of whether Michelle Jones also decided to attend the Massachusetts-based institution as well.<\/p>\n Various rumors have been swirling around just how heavily Zendaya\u2019s MJ will be featured in the latest Spidey flick. Earlier this year, it was alleged that Michelle\u2019s role would be reduced<\/a> due to Zendaya\u2019s heavy filming schedule. (As we speak, the actress also has obligations to the upcoming blockbuster Dune: Part Three.) The prospect of seeing fewer Michelle scenes is disappointing, but I\u2019m glad to know she\u2019ll appear in some capacity.<\/p>\n This upcoming Spider-Man movie<\/a> is also going to have plenty of other familiar faces as well. For instance, there\u2019s a Marvel TV fan-favorite<\/a> in The Punisher, who will once again be played by Jon Bernthal. An Avenger is also in the mix<\/a>, as Mark Ruffalo is reportedly reprising his role as Bruce Banner a.k.a. Smart Hulk. So there\u2019s a lot to look forward to in Brand New Day, and I\u2019ll remain hopeful that a red-haired MJ is one of the sights we\u2019ll see.<\/p>\n Spider-Man: Brand New Day hits theaters on July 31 as part of the 2026 movie schedule<\/a>.
