Spider-Man: Brand New Day went through several changes before it made it to the big screen, including some tweaks from MJ star Zendaya. In a new interview, she revealed she wanted to have an "MJ pass" on the script.
"I remember reading a draft. We wanted to mature the characters, obviously, but I remember when I read it, I was like she’s too, for lack of a better term, normal," she told Entertainment Weekly. "I was like, 'Where did all her weirdness go?' We gotta do like an MJ pass of the script [to] weird it up a little bit and bring back some of those quirks."
