The new Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer has hit and everyone has been going crazy over it. As a sequel to Homecoming and the epilogue to Avengers: Endgame, it's definitely got a hard balancing act to get through but the latest MCU installment is still something we all want to see. The trailer has a lot of moments that have surprised fans but one part that has everyone talking involves MJ.
Midway through the trailer when Peter is trying to confess his feelings to her, MJ tells him that she knows he's Spider-Man. When Peter tries to downplay this, she said that it's pretty obvious and we then move on to different scenes. While it's a cute joke, Marvel and Sony probably should have saved this for the actual movie, showing us scenes where MJ is aware of Peter's secret identity.
While this sort of comes out of nowhere, comic book fans also know that Mary Jane has known Peter was Spider-Man for quite some time. This was revealed in some of the earlier comics and expanded upon in stories like Untold Tales of Spider-Man and Spider-Man: Parallel Lives. Other incarnations of the character, like Ultimate Spider-Man, also have Peter tell Mary Jane himself that he's Spider-Man.
It will be interesting to see how this affects their relationship, in the long run, assuming one happens of course. The MCU films could go on a completely different direction but it should be fun to witness.
Spider-Man: Far From Home comes to theaters on July 2.
