Bendis explained that MJ and Tony know each other because she used to live in Avengers Tower. However, he refused to say anything further because the kind of relationship they end up having is a big part of what he would like to buy the book for.
He added that it will be a new territory for both Tony and Mary Jane which became too exciting to write.
IGN, however, believes that Iron Man hit the jackpot with the casting of Mary Jane in the comic book series, citing that it is the best thing to happen in the character for years. There has not been too many character excitement in the life of Tony Stark as of late and the infusion of MJ Watson could really up the ante a bit and give the character a new dimension.
But Mary Jane Watson will not be coming right on the first comic book of the “Invincible Iron Man” series as Bendis said that Spider-Man’s girlfriend will start showing up on the fourth comic book of the series likely to come out in December.
MJ and Peter have not been romantically involved in the recent “Spider-Man” continuity nor in “The Amazing Spider-Man” movie series that starred Andrew Garfield.
In the upcoming “Amazing Spider-Man” series, Peter Parker will be a big guy CEO adventurer so MJ being close to Tony could lead to a change in dynamics between Spider-Man and Iron Man.
