Many fans have been hoping that Secret Wars would lead to Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson's marriage being reinserted back into Marvel Comics continuity, but nope, it seems like it will be Iron Man who has hit the jackpot in the All-New, All-Different Marvel relaunch. She's set to become a regular cast member in Invincible Iron Man from issue #4 onwards, and Brian Michael Bendis had this to say about her becoming part of the series. "We were at one of our glorious Marvel publishing retreats and certain characters got brought up, sometimes almost accidentally, and I found out that nobody had anything going on with Mary Jane. I sat with that for a while and I always go to this place in my head where I [wonder] what the most interesting thing I would like to see that character do now and it fell right into the ideas I was already cooking for Tony Stark."
This isn't a totally random pairing either, as Bendis points out that the two do have at least some history together. "They know each other. She used to live in Avengers Tower. But that’s all I’m going to say for now because what kind of relationship they end up having is a big part of what I would like people to buy the book for. But what I can tell you is that it is new territory for both Tony and Mary Jane. And that is pretty exciting to write." What kind of relationship Tony and MJ have remains to be seen, but this could be yet another controversial change by Marvel depending on how it all pans out. What do you think?
