It may have been five years since the release of Spider-Man: Homecoming, the first solo adventure for Tom Holland’s Peter Parker after being introduced in Captain America: Civil War, but there are still stories that were left out and can connect with the future of the MCU.
Kevin Feige’s work to unite each of the productions that make up the Marvel Cinematic Universe is truly admirable and continues to show that despite the years that have passed and having also added television series to the equation, the formula continues to work perfectly. The connections are intact, and an actress who was going to be a part of Homecoming will return for one of the upcoming projects.

Jona Xiao was part of the original cast of the 2017 film, but her character was ultimately cut, and she did not appear in it. However, according to a detailed worksheet of the actress on Actors Access, Xiao has been cast as a lead actress in an unknown Disney+ project for Marvel Studios.
Unfortunately, the report does not detail the series or the character she’ll be playing, and it is unknown whether it will be a live-action or animated project, considering that the former SWAT star has dabbled in both fields.
