The greatest moments in Peter Parker and Michael Jackson’s comic book romance have not been the subject of any of Marvel’s eight main Spider-Man films. In every Marvel reality, Peter Parker’s romantic life is a significant part of Spider-Man’s narrative since he typically finds it difficult to strike a balance between his personal life and his superhuman responsibilities. Spider-Man has dated a number of characters in the comics, including Betty Brant, Liz Allan, Felicia Hardy, Mary Jane Watson, and Gwen Stacy. However, in every live-action Spider-Man film, Peter Parker’s love connections have been more constrained. Although he briefly dated Bryce Dallas Howard’s Gwen Stacy in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy, Tobey Maguire’s Peter Parker was always in love with Kirsten Dunst’s Mary Jane. In The Amazing Spider-Man films, Andrew Garfield’s Peter Parker was always in love with Emma Stone’s Gwen Stacy. If the franchise had gone on, he would have dated Shailene Woodley’s Mary Jane. Before falling in love with Zendaya’s Michelle Jones, Tom Holland’s Peter Parker briefly dated Laura Harrier’s Liz Allan.
Despite being tumultuous in the comics, Peter Parker and MJ’s romantic relationship isn’t a never-ending string of terrible incidents, as all Marvel films have implied. Peter Parker’s ideal lady is Mary Jane Watson, not just because he finds her attractive but also because she becomes his confidante and best friend. In several periods of Marvel Comics’ main chronology as well as in alternate timelines like 2024’s Ultimate Spider-Man, Peter and Mary Jane have been able to maintain a long-term romance for years at a time. From Peter Parker’s everyday mistakes to his life-or-death responsibilities as Spider-Man, Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy concentrated on all the barriers that separated him and Mary Jane. Peter’s joyful life with Gwen Stacy was given a bit more attention in the Amazing Spider-Man films, but Mary Jane was not able to make an appearance in Peter’s life, and her death tragically clouded their connection. Prior to Spider-Man: No Way Home’s magic spell erasing Peter Parker from the public consciousness, Zendaya’s MJ had a bit more agency than Dunst’s, but she hardly spent any significant time with Holland’s Peter in the MCU. When Tobey Maguire’s character Peter Parker informed Andrew Garfield that he had managed to make his relationship work with his own MJ in Spider-Man: No Way Home, Garfield’s character Peter acknowledged that he still hadn’t found a partner since Gwen Stacy’s passing. In the meanwhile, following the conclusion of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Tom Holland’s Peter Parker is left all alone. This isn’t the end of Spider-Man’s MCU voyage, either, as Zendaya’s MJ and Holland’s Peter may potentially cross paths in the future. Peter and MJ’s romance in the MCU, which may result in marriage, is modeled after the amazing love story of Tom Holland and Zendaya in real life.
