on Stan Lee comments on Zendaya as Mary Jane Watson in 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'

Toronto Sun caught up with Stan Lee to get his thoughts on Zendaya playing Mary Jane Watson in Spider-Man: Homecoming. If anyone’s opinion on that news matters, it’s Lee’s, seeing as he created the character 50 years ago! Here’s what he had to say:

“If she is as good an actress as I hear she is, I think it’ll be absolutely wonderful,” Lee said.

Lee added: “The color of their skin doesn’t matter, their religion doesn’t matter. All that matters is that this the right person for the role.”

Spider-Man: Homecoming will swing into theaters on July 7, 2017.

    But he said that he doesn’t see reasons to do stuff like that (white/black washing).

    The man who made the characters speaks. End of.

    The problem is, she’s not a good actress. She’s awful. Just watch any episode of her current Disney Channel sitcom “KC Undercover”. Very rudimentary skills. She’d be fine for extra girl in Peter’s class, but for a leading role like MJ, her acting isn’t even close to the level needed.

    “Latino characters should stay Latino. The Black Panther should
    certainly not be Swiss. I just see no reason to change that which has
    already been established when it’s so easy to add new characters. I say
    create new characters the way you want to. Hell, I’ll do it myself.”

    Gee, I wonder what made him change his mind…
