Ever since Spider-Man: No Way Home ended with Peter Parker making the heartbreaking decision to erase himself from the memories of everyone he loved, fans have continued debating whether he truly made the right call. While the sacrifice saved the multiverse, it also came at the cost of his relationship with MJ.

Among the film's most emotionally charged moments is Peter choosing not to remind MJ of the promise he made before Doctor Strange's spell. Rather than bringing her back into his dangerous world, he quietly walks away, leaving audiences divided over whether protecting her justified keeping the truth from her.

As anticipation builds for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Tom Holland and Zendaya have finally weighed in on that lingering question—and it turns out they share the same opinion about Peter's controversial decision.

Tom Holland and Zendaya agreed that Peter Parker made the wrong choice by not telling MJ the truth at the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home. Asked whether Peter had been fair by keeping his promise to himself instead of reminding MJ who he was, the pair admitted the question is one the upcoming film directly explores.

"The moral of the story is, that he should have told her," Holland offered his verdict after initially avoiding spoilers, making it clear that, in his view, Peter should have been honest with MJ about the promise they shared before Doctor Strange's spell erased everyone's memories.

"I... well, our opinion is that..." before Holland jumped back in with, "he should have told her," to which Zendaya agreed, "he should have told her, yeah." The pair stopped short of revealing whether Peter ultimately acts on that belief, teasing that audiences would have to wait and see. The exchange took place during Spider-Man: Brand New Day's Shanghai press tour.

The candid response also hints that the emotional consequences of Peter's decision won't simply be left behind, with the next chapter set to revisit one of the franchise's most talked-about moments.

While Tom Holland delivered the clearest answer to if Peter Parker made the right decision or not at the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Zendaya revealed that the question had been central to conversations behind the scenes as the team shaped the story. Rather than brushing past the ending of No Way Home, she explained that the characters' emotional journey became an important part of developing the new film.

"Yeah, we face those conversations because I had a lot of thoughts about that... about Peter's decision, about how MJ would feel about it...So, we definitely explore those things."

Zendaya explained during the same interview that she had extensive discussions with director Destin Daniel Cretton about where both Peter and MJ would be emotionally after the events of No Way Home, suggesting the film takes those lingering questions seriously instead of treating them as background details.

Although neither star confirmed exactly how Peter and MJ's story unfolds in Brand New Day, their comments make one thing clear: the debate that has followed No Way Home for years is no longer just a fan discussion—it has become part of the story itself.
