‘Spider-Man’ Casts A New Lead Character

Deadline is reporting that Sony and Marvel  Studios has cast actress/singer Zendaya (K.C. Undercover) as a lead character named Michelle.

The are no details yet on the character, but one theory is that the Michelle character might be Michelle Gonzalez who was once a roommate of Peter Parker who he shared a one night stand with in the comics. If Zendaya is to become Peter Parker’s leading lady in the Spider-Man reboot, it would be a  step in the right direction in casting a more diverse actors into leading roles. If they are excluding the roles of MJ and Gwen it would be something cool to see Sony going all in on getting away from any origin stories.

The film will be released July 7, 2017
