It isn’t normally the kind of thing that Marvel Cinematic Universe films portray, but some fans might’ve been curious if the MCU’s Spider-Man film franchise would ever contain a sex scene between Peter Parker and MJ. While it’s likely not something one would expect, there was recently a sex scene in Eternals – so there’s definitely the possibility another MCU film could as well. But it’s unlikely that it will ever be a Spider-Man film, as both Tom Holland and Zendaya have emphasized that they don’t want any kind of sex scene.
This was emphasized first by Tom Holland in an interview with Yahoo! Entertainment. As you can see below, he was very clear with his thoughts on the matter. It doesn’t look like there’s any changing his mind for those who would want to see such a scene.
Here’s what he said:
“I don’t think it’s appropriate for the Spider-Man franchise. We are still very much young kids. Should there be a future for this character maybe one day we will explore that. But at the moment, this is a film about celebrating friendships and young love.”
His co-star, Zendaya, furthered these feelings. As she stated herself:
“No one wants to see Peter Parker having sex! That would be horrible.”
There you have it. While the Marvel Cinematic Universe is clearly branching into new territory with their latest films, it seems like sex scenes will more than likely be kept out of the Spider-Man film franchise. But that’s probably just as well, as the character seems to have plenty of other issues to worry about. Especially with the way No Way Home ended things, it’s going to be an interesting path ahead for the iconic superhero. Hopefully we’ll have more details on that soon.
Spider-Man: No Way Home is currently playing in theaters.
