Liza Soberano as Mary Jane?
LIZA SOBERANO – Korean-American businessman Jeffrey Oh, the CEO of Careless, revealed that the actress was once offered to audition for the role of Mary Jane in the movie, “Spider-Man: Homecoming”.
Spider-Man: Homecoming is a thrilling addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe that showcases the iconic superhero’s youthful energy and charm. Tom Holland stars as a high school-aged Peter Parker, who juggles his everyday life as a student with his superhero responsibilities.
The film strikes a perfect balance between action-packed sequences and lighthearted humor, with excellent performances from the entire cast. Michael Keaton is particularly noteworthy as the villainous Vulture, adding a depth and complexity to the character. The film is a must-see for both diehard Spider-Man fans and newcomers to the franchise, and sets up exciting possibilities for future installments.
At the recent Philippine Creative Industries Summit, Careless exec Jeffrey Oh revealed that Liza was offered to audition for the role of Mary Jane in the movie “Spider-Man: Homecoming”.
However, she was not allowed by her past management. “They reached out for her to audition to be Mary Jane, one of the most iconic characters. And she was not allowed because she had to do the same thing she was always doing. I really shouldn’t have said that. But it’s the truth.”
According to the business partner of James Reid, the production team of “Spider-Man: Homecoming” was looking for a Filipina talent at the time.
“Imagine, a Filipina actress was a star of one of the biggest Marvel movies in history. Imagine she was Mary Jane, what that would do for Philippine entertainment,” he said as per Manila Bulletin. “But then she was in a 10-year contract, which is also unheard of anywhere else in the world.”
