With Challengers finally coming out, a great prophecy has been fulfilled. Every primary Spider-Man love interest has gone on to do a tennis movie. Why? What’s going on there?
It started with Kirsten Dunst. She played Mary Jane in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Movies, then starred in Wimbledon opposite Paul Bettany. Then Emma Stone did Battle of the Sexes after getting fridged out of the Amazing Spider-Man universe. Finally, we have Zendaya doing Challengers after her time in the MCU.
