It’d be even better – we’d have interracial bisexuality!” Garfield even cast the actor who’d play MJ in his head. “And I was like, ‘What if MJ is a dude? Why can’t we discover that Peter is exploring his sexuality? It’s hardly even groundbreaking…So why can’t he be gay? Why can’t he be into boys?’” “I was kind of joking, but kind of not joking about MJ,” Garfield said.
