Marisa Tomei Reveals Her Favorite ‘Spider-Man’ Memory: Watching Zendaya and Tom Holland’s Romance Bloom Behind the Scenes

As a devoted fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), I must say that witnessing the blossoming romance between Tom Holland and Zendaya, who portray Spider-Man and MJ respectively, has been nothing short of magical. Their on-screen chemistry is captivating, but their off-screen relationship adds an extra layer of charm to the MCU.


Without a doubt, Spider-Man stands as one of Marvel’s characters with an unbroken on-screen presence that spans through time. Despite Sony retaining the rights, they eventually reached a deal to work together and share earnings. This arrangement has enabled Tom Holland’s Spider-Man to headline his own film series within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the role of Spider-Man’s beloved MJ was cast with Zendaya, a highly acclaimed young actress in Hollywood. Unlike the traditional portrayal, Zendaya’s MJ has a distinct background, a unique identity, and is seen as a modern reinterpretation of the original character.

It just so happened that while they were filming, Tom Holland and Zendaya developed feelings for each other which continued off-screen as well. During a recent interview at Fan Expo Canada, Marisa Tomei who plays May Parker in the MCU shared her favorite on-set memories. Among them was witnessing the blossoming romance between Zendaya and Holland.

Watching Tom [Holland] and Zendaya grow up and watch them fall in love.
