The week began with a viral commotion after photos leaked from the set of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, with Zendaya, Tom Holland, and Jacob Batalon posing with fans. The most-discussed detail was Zendaya’s decision to keep her head tightly wrapped in a black hoodie, completely concealing her hair. Buzz on platforms like X and Reddit exploded with theories that Zendaya, who plays Michelle MJ Jones-Watson, might have dyed her hair red to mirror Mary Jane Watson’s iconic comic book look. Elle observed that Zendaya has previously rocked red hair for Spider-Man press tours, so it was not without precedent, but there is no confirmation yet as to whether this marks a dramatic shift for her character or just a bit of playful subterfuge.
