The Spectacular Spider-Man
Peter and Mary Jane attend the dance where she shocks the crowd by showing up with Parker. When Gwen sees her, she becomes upset, believing Peter lied about not having a date (she had wanted to go with Peter) while Sally Avril is angry that the "King of Geeks" actually got a date, and Flash Thompson takes a liking to her, presumably to irritate Peter. Peter receives a call from the Daily Bugle, demanding travel across town to photograph an event hosted by Tombstone where the Green Goblin was attacking. Mary Jane is very understanding of Peter ditching her. While Peter is gone, MJ gets voted as the Homecoming Queen despite not attending the school (with the ballot saying "the red-haired girl that came with Peter Parker") much to the fury of all the other girls except Gwen. When Peter halts the Green Goblin's plans and returns to the gym, he finds the students emptying out and Mary Jane dancing with Hobie Brown. Peter sits on the side and sighs, believing he blew his chances with the MJ by leaving, but she tells him she saved the last dance just for him, and the two share a slow dance in the empty gym.

MJ is later seen cheering on the schools football game, sitting next to Glory Grant. Peter tries to talk with her and Mary Jane assures him that they're just friends, and that the dance was simply for fun, much to his disappointment. Later  Dr. Octopus attacks Peter and his friends at the Coney Island Carnival, Gwen Stacy trips and falls, so Mary Jane goes back and helps her. Spider-Man rescues the girls from Doc Ock's grasp. That night Flash Thompson and Liz Allenbreak up, and Peter tries to talk with Liz, but is held back by MJ who says "Not now Tiger".

At the Halloween Fair, Mary Jane, is dressed as a vampire and she searches for Peter in hopes of telling him she now goes to Midtown High thanks to her acceptance by its theater magnet. Flash tries to make a move on her but she tells him she likes him, but that "this redhead's a free agent".

Peter Parker later arrives at the Fair dressed in his Spider-Man suit minus the mask, Mary Jane smiles and tells him he fills out the costume nicely. The next day Mary Jane tells Peter about her enrollment at the school which she tried to tell him the night before, but he disappeared. Gwen Stacy then arrives and explains to the pair that Harry Osborn is off sick from school, although Peter secretly knows is because of Harry's addiction to the Globulin Green aka the Goblin Formula.

Sinister Six later attack Spider-Man again but this time he is bonded to the the alien Symbiote, Aunt May has a heart attack with Anna Watson nearby. Mary Jane is then the one to notify Peter of his aunt's condition. Peter later arrives at school and his friends attempt to console him, but due to the symbiote's influence, he verbally reject everyone. He apologizes the next day to MJ and warns him about Eddie Brock's hatred towards him, as he tried to hurt him by using her.

MJ is later at the Thanksgiving Day parade with Flash, and as before she continually tries to dodge and ignore all his advances. Nonetheless, Spidey is understandably annoyed. It is Mary Jane who initiates the assistance in helping Gwen from dangling from a float after being endangered by Venom. When Venom tells Peter Parker that he will attack "who you love the most", he dashes to the parade and to find MJ, believing it was her who Venom was speaking about (Back when the Sinister Six attacked, Eddie had made an advance on her earlier in order to attack Peter). Although he finds her safe and not in danger, that's when he notices Gwen is speaking to Eddie Brock. She later initiates an effort to save Gwen with the other students, which succeeds.

When Flash tried to date her, she mentioned she was not interested in a serious relationship. However, she did start dating Liz's brother Mark Allan, shown to be depressed when she believed he was gambling and doing drugs again. By the end of the series, she is the only person who still knows that Peter and Gwen plan to ditch their respective partners to be together (though they denied it when she confronted them).

Marvel's Spider-Man (2017)
Upon meeting Mary Jane for the first time, and almost crashing into her, Peter was smitten by her appearance and easy-going personality. Even when Peter was acting awkward while trying to hide Groot Mary Jane simply rolled along with it without calling him out on the behavior as Aunt May did and how others would usually.

In Spider-Man Unmasked, Mary Jane helped Peter to realize that he didn't explain why he kept his secret (of being Spider-Man) from Gwen and Anya the way he intended too.

In Maximum Venom, when Peter tells Mary Jane that he needs a date for Horizon High's dance, and jokes that he'll never find a date, she says that she would go with to the dance. When Venom was revealed to have been possessing Max Modell, Mary Jane tried to get Peter to leave Horizon with her, and she ended up surprised by his bravery of wanting to protect the school and his classmates. Before evacuating herself, she gives him a kiss on the cheek for good luck.

Later on, Mary Jane and Peter have the dance that was interrupted at the party. Mary Jane said that despite alien invasion, it was still a nice. Her optimism and reminding that they had a future to look forward to made Peter realize that he wasn't ready to leave his friends and family behind to become an Avenger. Mary Jane was confused on what Peter meant by her being right (about their whole future being ahead of them) and was caught by surprise when Peter gave her a kiss on the cheek, making her blush just as he did when first seeing her in Amazing Friends.

It's possible that Peter and Mary Jane become a couple after the events of Maximum Venom.

Spider-Man (PS4)
At some point before the events of the game's timeline, Peter and MJ had broken up but remained friends. As Peter continues his heroic work as Spider-Man, while MJ looks for stories to report for her job at the Daily Bugle. When Peter met up with Aunt May, she tells him that he and MJ shouldn't have split up and how the two of them could have made a "lot of beauty babies" together.

As MJ looks at the Kingpin's many items that are to be auctioned the next day, she reflects on the moment when one of its swords had hurt Peter and she had to help him when he ended up in her own backyard. The moment MJ saw the type of statue that Peter had told her about and how the Kingpin uses them to hide things, she decides to see what it holds and uncovers a document for something called "Devil's Breath"; not long after MJ found it the auction house gets attacked by men wearing Japanese theatre demon masks. MJ had manged to keep herself hidden from them, before Spider-Man was informed about the disturbance at that location. Not long after he finds MJ's camera, she comes out of hiding to knock out the thug who cornered her ex-boyfriend. MJ explains what she was doing here and what the masked men are after, Spider-Man agrees to take care of them while MJ tries to make her escape; and after she left his side Spider-Man noticed that MJ might have had changed her perfume. Even though the two failed to stop the men from taking the file, Spider-Man was glad that MJ wasn't hurt and texts her to keep up with him later at the restraint they used to hang out at.

Despite the changes to the restraint, they were both glad that it still does the "best in the city" frize they love to eat at it. As they talk about work and what happened at the auction house, MJ asks Peter if he remembers the reason for their brake up, but trouble appears before Peter could answer. The two continue to stay in contact with one another as they both go after the masked mean, who MJ dubs as the "Demon Gang" after Peter learns a bit more about their masks and shares the information with her. Even though he doesn't want MJ to keep going after them, since Marten Li had told Peter that the people connected to the mask are dangerous and it would be best that MJ drops the story, but Mary Jane doesn't frightened off that easily.

After Officer Morales helps Spider-Man catch a few Demon gang henchmen, he catches MJ making her way to the ambulance that the brave officer is being placed in, he asks her what she is doing before reminding MJ that she shouldn't mess with the Demons, but MJ wasn't going to drop the story and believes that Morales' story should be told. He than watches MJ convince Officer Morales to interview him as someone who cares and just wants to listen, all while being impressed by her. Soon after Peter learns that he has been thrown out of his apartment, he was tempted to call MJ to see if should would let him sleep on her couch, all while wondering on how he should ask her, but once he sees her story on Morales published he decides to let her celebrate by not giving her his "sleep over" request. While he calls his aunt on the request instead.

The next day MJ calls Spider-Man on how the mayor is planning to give Officer Morales a reward, to help him get re-elected, before the two met up at it. As Osborn gives Morales the medal, Peter and MJ talk about the Demon gang and how Peter would like to come over to MJ's place where he'll cook them dinner. Before Peter could stop it from happening, he gets knout out by the blasts from the suicide bombers, while MJ kneels by his unconscious body as she begs him to help up. Peter was lucky to recover from the event, but Officer Morales was killed and both Peter and MJ end up attending his funeral to pay their respects together. The officer's death has also motivated Peter and MJ to keep going after the Demon Gang, before any more innocent people die.
