for the first film she could just be a junior or a senior while peter is a freshman. although some guy on the other page said peter is a sophomore/junior in this movie, not a freshman

She would look out of place. She doesn't look 17-18. Holland looks a few years younger than his actual age and can pull it off. Zendaya is 19 and can pull off being a HS student.

depends on her role. i think they could just go with her character being an older MJ
 

xxracerxx

Don't worry, I'll vouch for them.
she most definitely would work as MJ

Even if they make her a college student, it would still be creepy and not really work.

i've heard that suggested on another forum actually

It was mentioned here when you first brought her up.


i don't watch true detective so i don't know what you're talking about

Do yourself a favor and google 'alexandra daddario true detective' and turn safe-search off.

And one that started college late. She looks 25 at the youngest. Don't get it twisted she is absolutely beautiful. But she can't pull off 18 anymore.

Artisan, this Spiderman isn't 30, and you can't cast your MJ's according to your fap list.
What the hell is wrong with you guys? Who said anything about erections or boners or fuckin fap lists? Jesus

The insistence of casting a 30 year old love interest in a high school movie with Holland who is playing a 15 year old.

That's the tame assumption, and the most favorable bro

Please tell me you understand lol

Well it'd be a 30 year old playing a 17-18 year old (and this certainly wouldn't be the first time) while the 15 year old is actually 20 years old. It's not like the 30 year old would be playing a 30 year old character.

Now, if you can't vibe with that I get that that's fine, but what's with your and everybody's insistence on talking about all these dirty little innuendos?
 
Zendaya would be a better choice regardless.

I'm not convinced Daddario has much of an on-screen personality, let alone something perfectly in tune for this iteration of Spider-Man. She comes across to me as more of the Dunst type.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
I dig Zendayas tomboyish look they are going for in Homecoming.. She looks good but still relatable and approachable for a Nerd lol.

She will go full MJ Model mode in the next movie and it will be believable.
 
Now, if you can't vibe with that I get that that's fine, but what's with your and everybody's insistence on talking about all these dirty little innuendos?

Because there's literally no other reason to insist her specifically getting that role when there are more age appropriate actresses that could fill it. It's not like she's an oscar winning actress. The real question is why her specifically?

there's also literally no rational reason to bring up little sexual innuendos either. I'm the one who wanted her to be MJ and I didn't say any of that shit.

because she's the actress right now that to me, looks the most like MJ viably and can pull off the role, it's simple

The reason is because your main point of qualification is this:
because she's the actress right now that to me, looks the most like MJ viably and can pull off the role, it's simple
Considering MJ doesn't actually have any defining physical characteristics comic to comic besides being white, having red hair (which Daddario doesn't even have naturally), and being hot, what that basically translates to is she's the most stunningly attractive woman you can think of that can act. Setting aside the fact that I don't think MJ needs to be blindingly hot, if that's all you were looking for you could easily find that in an actress 10 years younger that fits the cast better without you having to literally change the script (by making her a college student) to shoehorn the actress in in a believable way.

I don't see any sort of sexual innuendo being a part of the reason there.

This thread's taken a really weird turn, but I dunno why I'd expect any different from a 40+ page thread about casting a single role.
 
And your hard-on for getting AD to play an upperclassman while Peter is an underclassman. Daddario looks like she's in her late 20s my guy, she can't pull of high school
here we go again with these sexual innuendos...what is wrong with you people?
No, you'd use silly or goofy or weird. Grownups dating children is creepy.
No, I'd use creepy. And every cast member of Spider-Man is legally an adult. In universe, their ages can only be a few years apart.

ERMYGERD!
Daddario as MJ would be nuts, because then you'd have Tony Stark trying to bone both May and MJ, probably simultaneously, while Peter is out swinging webs.
 
Dude...

STOP.
Stop what? Defending an unpopular opinion? Coz that's all I've been doing. All I said here was my preferred actress, even though I've accepted the fact that Zendaya is MJ, here and here and here.

meanwhile, here here and here, gaffers have been making sexual innuendos...erections...boners...hardons. I find that to be weird, I was never the one to say any of that shit
-________-
Dunno what to tell you man
I've never seen someone go to bat for something so...stupid
It's not stupid
Artisan, I love you but "what is wrong with you people??" coming from you in this thread is hilarious
it's all love man but why don't understand is why everybody has to be so fixated on it? I said I had a preferred actress, people think that's ridiculous, well clearly my mind won't change - but I accepted the fact that there's already a picked actress, but everyone else wants to continue picking on my opinion

it shouldn't matter to anyone else this much...and if it is putting the thread in danger, why not let it go (trying to talk me out of this opinion) and move on? I'm ready to do that too

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Daddario for MJ is a terrible choice because of course she should be Blackcat.

From what I heard from the Comic Con Footage and what I got from the first Issue of the Book this movie its so obivious that she is MJ. She even has the hots Spidey in the books and really not even notices Peter.

They are even talking all the time about the Homecoming dance.
