Wird Spider-Man schwul?

Für die meisten modernen Leser ist das Beziehungsleben des Comic-Superhelden Spider-Man durch seine Partnerschaft mit Mary Jane (MJ) Watson geprägt, wiewohl es hier immer wieder auch andere Frauen gab.

There's been a lot of buzz going around lately about the role of Mary Jane Watson in the Amazing Spider-Man sequels. 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?"
