Tom Holland and Zendaya are a Hollywood power couple, and the Spiderman actor was asked what he thought would happen if film became reality.
In Spider-Man: No Way Home, MJ forgets who Peter Parker is thanks to a memory spell cast by Doctor Strange.
Peter goes to the coffee shop to reintroduce himself and remind MJ of who he is, until he sees an injury she has and he decides to make the ultimate sacrifice to keep her safe.
Zendaya, who plays MJ, and Tom, who plays Peter, first met back in June 2016 during a chemistry screen test for Spider-Man: Homecoming, and went on to be cast as the onscreen couple.

They forged a close friendship before love eventually blossomed, and the pair got engaged and then married.
According to Film Updates, Tom, who plays Peter, was asked what he would do if his new wife forgot about him just like her character forgot Peter.
He had a straight-forward answer, insisting: "She’d never forget me," before laughing.
During another recent interview ahead of their new film, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Zendaya was asked if there was a trait of Tom's she'd like to forget."
"I don't think I'd like to forget anything, he's like my favourite person, so it's all great for me," she insisted sweetly.
They're adorable together.
Fans praised the sweet replies.
One joked: "Okay… I am here for them and their love/ success but this press tour is starting to feel like a personal attack on my love life."
"That's probably the most Tom Holland answer ever," added another, while another swooned "They are so in love!"
The couple regularly praise each other's worth ethic, and as well as the new Spider-Man flick, the newlyweds also just starred in the The Odyssey together.
Christopher Nolan offered Tom the role of Telemachus, the son of Odysseus, and it made things a bit tricky because filming clashed with the next Spider-Man movie.
"To be honest, when I got home after our meeting, I sat down with Z and was like, 'I've been offered this movie,'" and he revealed Zendaya gave him an 'ultimatum' over it.
"And then we had Spider-Man that was literally scheduled to go the same day that we would start shooting," Holland recalled. "Z said, 'I'll leave you if you don't do The Odyssey.'"
Fortunately, Tom was able to sort it out despite what he called an 'uncomfortable conversation' with Sony over the clash, saying it was Nolan's reputation for being efficient and not running over which helped.
It meant Zendaya didn't have to act on her sweet 'ultimatum', and they both got to work with their dream director.
Co-star Matt Damon also revealed to Elle, that Zendaya received rare high praise from Nolan.
“Chris is known for being very circumspect. So when you do a take, it’s not like he says, ‘That was great.’ He’ll go, ‘Yep, good. Okay.’ And that is the equivalent of the greatest praise you could ever get," he said.
“Zendaya, on the other hand—there were takes where she did one thing, she did this amazing scene, and he said, ‘Cut.’ And then he went, ‘Perfect,’” he recalled.
It became a running joke for Matt and Tom: “Literally, Tom [Holland] and I were obsessed with this. She got a ‘perfect’? I’ve never even gotten a ‘great.’ She got a ‘perfect’?”
