Producer Amy Pascal, who worked on 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day', shared that she had cautioned Tom Holland and Zendaya against starting a real-life relationship. Amy explained, "MJ and Peter just always fall in love. There's nothing you can do about it." This follows a pattern from earlier Spider-Man films, where Tobey Maguire dated Kirsten Dunst and Andrew Garfield dated Emma Stone after meeting on set.
