Matapos ang rebelasyon ng aktres na si Liza Soberano tungkol sa casting ng Hello, Love, Goodbye, ngayon naman ay naungkat ang usap-usapan tungkol sa imbitasyon umano sa kanya noong mag-audition sa Marvel movie na Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Ito ang isiniwalat ng businessman na si Jeffrey Oh, CEO ng Careless Management at business partner ni James Reid, sa ginanap na 2nd Philippine Creative Industries Summit nitong Miyerkules, March 7, 2023.

Si Liza ay kasalukuyang nasa pangangalaga ng Careless Music.

Pumirma siya ng kontrata sa Careless noong June 2022, matapos hindi mag-renew ng kontrata sa Star Magic, ang talent management arm ng ABS-CBN, at sa co-manager niyang si Ogie Diaz.

Ayon kay Jeffrey, inimbitahan ng Marvel si Liza noon para mag-audition para sa role na Mary Jane, ang role na nakuha ng Hollywood actress na si Zendaya.

"I'm [gonna] tell a bit of a story, a quick story. Who here loves the movie Spider-Man: Homecoming?

"Who loves the character of Zendaya?" tanong ni Jeffrey sa audience.

Pagbubunyag niya: "Liza was offered to audition for that role, they reached out for her to audition to be Mary Jane, one of the most iconic characters."

Pero hindi raw ito nagawa ni Liza dahil sa kontrata nito sa dating home network, na siyang humahawak noon ng kanyang showbiz career.

Ayon kay Jeffrey, "She [Liza] was not allowed because she had to do the same thing she was always doing, right?

"I really shouldn't have said that. But it's the truth, it's the truth.

"Now, imagine this wasn't like as if she was being marketed, like they reached out.

"That was I mean by, like, it's self-evident in a lot of different ways when you go out, there are people looking for Filipino talent."

Sabi pa ni Jeffrey, kung natuloy lang sana si Liza na gampanan ang karakter ni “Mary Jane” ay paniguradong malaking tulong ito sa Philippine entertainment industry.

"Imagine, a Filipina actress was a star of one of the biggest Marvel history, movies in history?

"Imagine she was Mary Jane? What that would do for Philippine entertainment?

"But then, she was in a 10-year contract which is also unheard of anywhere else in the world?"

Ang pagkakatali raw ni Liza sa isang kontrata ang nakikitang rason ng Careless Management CEO kung bakit hanggang ngayon ay hindi nabibigyan ng pagkakataon ang mga local artist sa Pilipinas na makilala internationally.

Sabi niya, "I'm sure you guys may have seen the news, the thing right now.

"I think the bigger conversation is that... the big reason why a lot of stars and creatives here are not able to make it internationally isn't because they're not talented enough or because people aren't looking for them, [it's] because they legally can't most of the time."

LIZA DENIES GETTING OFFER TO PLAY MARY JANE

Marami ngayon sa netizens ang naguguluhan at tila nagtatanong kung ano nga ba ang totoo.

Ang pahayag kasi ni Jeffrey ay hindi tumutugma sa pahayag ni Liza noong 2016 nang pabulaanan niya ang haka-hakang naimbitahan siyang mag-audition sa Spider-Man: Homecoming bilang Mary Jane.

Saad ni Liza, “It’s not really an invitation, I think it was what the fans [of Marvel] wanted.

“All my fans started re-tweeting it and everything, but wala naman po talagang invitation."

Ngunit kung mamarapatin daw na ibigay sa kanya ang role ay tatanawin niya itong malaking oportunidad sa kanyang showbiz career.

Aniya, "I would love that [to play Mary Jane]. That would be a nice opportunity."

Sa ngayon ay wala pang reaksiyon si Liza patungkol sa rebelasyon ng Jeffrey Oh.
