Spider-Man 4 Fans Think MJ Is a Villain After New Poster

With the recent reveal of the new Spider-Man 4 posters, fans are buzzing about a theory that Zendaya’s character, MJ, could turn out to be a villain. While it’s an interesting idea, it’s likely just speculation. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is scheduled for release on July 31, 2026, and stars Zendaya, Tom Holland, Sadie Sink, Mark Ruffalo, and Jon Bernthal.

Spider-Man 4 poster fuels interesting MJ villain theory

At CinemaCon, Sony unveiled a new poster and footage for Spider-Man 4. The poster prominently features a close-up of Spider-Man’s mask, with a reflection of Zendaya’s character, MJ, visible in the mask’s eye.

The new Spider-Man poster quickly led fans to share comparisons on social media with posters from previous films. One user, Rock Rider, posted on X (formerly Twitter) a side-by-side comparison showing the new poster alongside posters from Andrew Garfield’s and Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man movies, highlighting how both featured villains reflected in Spider-Man’s mask.

I’ve been seeing a lot of talk online about Zendaya’s character, MJ, potentially being a villain in the new movie. It started because of how the posters were arranged, and people started to think she might be hiding something. But honestly, I don’t think it’s likely. We already know about a bunch of other big bad guys who are definitely going to be causing trouble, so it seems a bit much to add MJ to that list!

People commenting on the post jokingly suggested that Zendaya’s character, MJ, might actually be the main villain in the upcoming movie. One commenter wrote, “Who knew the biggest Spider-Man villain would be Zendaya!” Others pointed out a pattern that seemed to support this idea, and some even started guessing which villain MJ could be, with theories ranging from her being a Skrull to a version of the Green Goblin.

Tom Holland appeared as a hologram at CinemaCon to present new footage from the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day, according to Variety. He described the film as the most emotionally resonant and mature installment in the Spider-Man series yet.
