I wonder who is in charge with casting the Spider-Man <\/strong>reboot, Marvel or Sony?\"\" Because this choice could have gone either way.<\/p>\n

Deadline<\/a> is reporting that Zendaya has been cast in the forthcoming reboot in a lead role. She will be playing a character named Michelle.<\/p>\n

\"ZendayaHer role is described by Deadline as a lead, which would lead one to believe she’d be playing the love interest to Tom Holland’s Peter Parker\/Spider-Man. While it would be interesting to see the reboot eschew either Gwen or Mary Jane for a character lower on the depth chart as Spidey’s paramour, the only “Michele ” on the list is Michele Gonzales, a more recent addition to the Spider-Man mythos.\u00a0 Tthe character was never a true girlfriend of Peter Parker, just a roommate with benefits, with a love\/hate relationship with Pete that is more often on the hate side of the equation. But the whole relationship is a bit more mature than you’d see in a kid-friendly Marvel film.<\/p>\n

Of course, Variety<\/a> states the part is neither a girlfriend nor a lead, although her screen presence will grow with every film in the franchise. So, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.<\/p>\n

Zendaya has sprung from the factory where Disney creates all their teen actors, and has starred in low of the Disney Channel’s more annoying shows, Shake It Up! <\/strong>and K.C. Undercover<\/strong>. No one of the better actresses on the Disney lot, yet not the worst. Also, like many other Disney stars, she has a budding singing career in the works.<\/p>\n

The Spider-Man <\/strong>reboot will hit theaters on July 7, 2017.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
