Spider-Man’s MJ: Truth or Nah? Liza Soberano Lands Audition Invite

The entertainment world gets busy-buzzing with excitement as rumors circulate about the popular Filipino actress, Liza Soberano. The actress was offered to audition for Zendaya’s role as Michelle Jones (MJ) in Spider-Man: Homecoming movie. According to a statement from the CEO of Careless Music, Jeffrey Oh, Liza Soberano received an audition invite as MJ, however, is locked in a contract — is it true or not? To frankly answer, unfortunately, it’s not.

Soberano already made a name for herself in the Philippine entertainment industry. Likewise, has been gaining international recognition over the years. She previously cast in the fantasy series “Trese” on Netflix, and numerous huge film titles and dramas in the Philippines. This includes Alone/Together, My Ex and Whys, Bagani, Dolce Amore, and more.

The real deal for Liza Soberano as MJ

Don’t be fooled – the CEO of Careless recently revived a long-standing rumor about Liza Soberano playing MJ in a Marvel movie, despite the fact that she denied it years ago.

  • Back in 2016, Liza shut down the rumor in an exclusive interview with ABS-CBN. “It wasn’t really an invitation,” she clarified. It was more about what the Marvel fans wanted – specifically, a Filipina tweeted that if she could choose who played MJ, she would want Liza for the role.
  • The tweet went viral, with Liza’s fans retweeting it like crazy. Although Liza already denied the rumor, she still expressed her eagerness to play Michelle Jones if given the chance. Who knows – maybe Marvel will take notice and make it happen someday!

Liza’s former manager’s statement

On Thursday, Ogie Diaz, actress Liza’s former manager, finally spoke out on his YouTube vlog and cleared the air about the rumors surrounding Soberano’s supposed offer from Marvel’s Spider-Man.

  • Diaz adamantly declared that the actress was never offered the titular role. Also emphasizing that the rumor likely originated from a fan’s speculative post on social media. Diaz’s statement put an end to the swirling rumors and set the record straight.
  • In his words, “‘Pag dinedma ko ‘to, baka isipin ng iba na totoong nangyari ito. Ito ay may kinalaman sa sinabi ni Mr. Jeffrey Oh, ang CEO ng Careless na management ni Liza Soberano, tungkol doon sa panghinayang nila na si Liza Soberano sana ang gumanap na [MJ (Michelle Jones)] na leading lady ni Spider-Man noong 2016, 2017. Si Liza Soberano po mismo ang nagsabi na walang imbitasyon na galing sa Marvel.”

(If I ignore this, others might think that it actually happened. This is related to what Mr. Jeffrey Oh, the CEO of Careless, said about their regret that Liza Soberano was not able to play [MJ (Michelle Jones)] as the leading lady of Spider-Man in 2016, 2017. Liza Soberano herself said that there was no invitation from Marvel.)

What could’ve been for Liza?

Imagine if the rumors about MJ and Liza were true, what would happen next? Here are some exciting possibilities to consider:

  • Liza could potentially land the role of MJ and become one of the most talked-about actors in the industry. With such a high-profile role under her belt, there’s no telling what other exciting projects she could be offered next.

  • Another possibility is that Liza could take on the role of Darna, a beloved superhero in the Philippines. She’s already shown her dedication to preparing for the role, so a Darna movie could be the perfect next step for her career.
  • If actress Liza Soberano did end up playing MJ, she could also join Zendaya on the hit show Euphoria. It would be a challenging role to be part of that cast, but we believe Liza has the talent to pull it off.
  • Finally, fans have even suggested Liza would make a great Little Mermaid in a future Disney movie. While it’s just a rumor for now, who knows what the future holds for this rising star?
  • One thing is for sure: we can’t wait to see what Liza does next and where her career takes her!

Other opportunities for Liza Soberano

While Liza Soberano may yet answer this resurfaced MJ audition rumor, there are still plenty of exciting things happening in her career. Check out what’s in store:

  • During her 25th birthday celebration, Liza teased a new project with her agency, Careless. Although the Instagram post has since been deleted, it showed a sneak peek of “something special” that was shot in December 2022.
  • With James Reid as her new manager, it’s possible that Liza might dive into the music industry. Last year, the Careless team even traveled to South Korea to meet with some entertainment agencies and idols. Could this mean a potential collaboration or solo music career for Liza?
  • Plus, with her undeniable talent and growing international recognition, it’s clear that Liza Soberano’s star is only going to continue to rise. Who knows what other exciting projects she’ll be taking on in the near future?
