Social media went nuts Thursday night when industry website The Wrap reported that Zendaya, 19, would play the part of Peter Parker's love interest Mary Jane.

In March, Zendaya was confirmed to take an unspecified role in Sony's major Spidey reboot alongside young Peter Parker (Tom Holland). The movie arrives in theaters July 7, 2017.

The Wrap took the casting news a step further, saying the breakout Disney Channel star would be playing the famed redhead Mary Jane.

Kirsten Dunst played the Mary Jane role in the first three Spider-Man films. Zendaya, whose father is African American and mother is white, would take this character into a racially diverse direction.
