But Andrew Garfield recently pitched his own unique idea for the character: What if MJ was a guy? While speaking with EW.com, the actor said he recently had a conversation with producer Matt Tolmach about Mary Jane and what he'd like to see. "I was kind of joking, but kind of not joking about MJ," Garfield said. "And I was like, 'What if MJ is a dude?' Why can't we discover that Peter is exploring his sexuality? It's hardly even groundbreaking! So why can't he be gay? Why can't he be into boys?" Garfield even knows who he'd want to play the part. "I've been obsessed with Michael B. Jordan since The Wire. He's so charismatic and talented. It'd be even better -- we'd have interracial bisexuality!" Later, EW mentioned Garfield's idea to director Marc Webb, who said, "Michael B. Jordan, I know." When asked if he'd already heard the pitch, Webb replied, "Uh, are you kidding?"[/quote] You know, it's funny; obviously a lot of comic book and Spiderman fans are kicking up a big stink over this, but people's biggest problem seems to be changing Spiderman's sexuiality. Sure, I would find it upsetting myself considering that's not the Spiderman I've known for the majority of my life, but like Andrew said "Why can't he be into boys too?". I don't have a issue with gay superheros nor if they wanted to explore the sexuiality of a already known one. My biggest beef with it all is that they want to change a already known character (Mary Jane) and change them into someone else entirely. If you're going to make Spiderman gay or bi-sexual, make a NEW character or use a already existing male character. Don't take a character people have known for YEARS and have been quite famous in the Marvel Universe, and make them a whole different character with a whole new sex. It's just a slap to the face for the fans of that character, and to Spiderman fans themselves. I highly doubt this will actually happen, but I just wanted to see what you guys think of it all.
