MARY JANE WATSON CAME FROM A BROKEN HOME AND BORROWED FAMILIES. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TOUGH JUST TO LAND ON HER FEET, BUT THAT WAS NEVER GOING TO BE ENOUGH FOR HER. THOUGH HER AMBITION TO REACH OUT TO THE WORLD AS AN ACTOR HAS BEEN SIDELINED BY OTHER OBLIGATIONS. OPPORTUNITIES. AND OCCASIONAL DISASTERS, MJ IS FINALLY GETTING HER CHANCE. WHILE HER PARTNER. PETER PARKER (A.K.A. SPIDER-MAN), SUPPORTS HER BACK IN NEW YORK CITY, SHE'S GOT A STARRING ROLE IN A HOLLYWOOD MOVIE! BUT THERE'S MORE TO THE DIRECTOR THAN MEETS THE EYE. 

MYSTERIO (QUENTIN BECK) HAS DISGUISED HIMSELF AS DIRECTOR CAGE McKNIGHT TO MAKE AN AMBITIOUS FILM ABOUT HIS LIFE: DOWN IN FLAMES, UP IN SMOKE. AND HE'S CAST MARY JANE AS THE FEMALE LEAD--A FICTIONALIZED VERSION OF A WOMAN HE ADMIRED...AND DISAPPOINTED. AFTER MJ DISCOVERED -CAGE'S- IDENTITY, SHE AGREED TO STAY ON: MYSTERIO WAS TRYING TO BE A BETTER MAN, AND THEY RESPECTED EACH OTHER AS ARTISTS. AS PRODUCTION WAS PLAGUED BY SHRINKING BUDGETS AND ATTACKS FROM AN ENVIOUS VULTURE LEADING THE SAVAGE SIX, MARY JANE TOOK ON MORE RESPONSIBILITIES, EVEN STEPPING IN TO PLAY SPIDER-MAN WHEN THE ORIGINAL ACTOR QUIT IN A HUFF. NOW WITH AN ACE CREW BEHIND THEM, IT COULD FINALLY BE MARY JANE AND MYSTERIO'S TIME TO SHINE.
