No Way Home Spidey-Sense Bread-Throwing Scene Was Zendaya's Idea
The idea to test one familiar webslinger’s “tingle” by throwing bread was improvised by Zendaya in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Zendaya recently reprised her role as the Michelle Jones/MJ in Jon Watts’ final installment in the Homecoming trilogy.

Following the lackluster reception of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014), Garfield’s webslinging tenure was cut short, and Sony/Disney/Marvel Studios made the deal to reboot the character in the MCU. In the month since he walked through a magic portal, Garfield's role in No Way Home has been described as redemptive.

In the scene, MJ is hesitant to believe that Garfield’s
