Usually I'm not one to believe every internet rumour/spoiler I read and I'm not so sure I believe this one but if it is true it's exactly why I don't read that many Marvel Comics, especially Spider-Man who hasn't been my beloved webslinger for a looong time now....
SPOILER:
It's pretty much what we all suspected. The marriage will be erased from history due to a deal that is offered to Peter. He has to undone some points in history that led to the unmasking in order to save Aunt May. While he is pondering the ethics of the choice made to him, MJ secretly makes the deal for him. Because she was instrumental in his choice to unmask, she chooses to go back and never reveal she knew he was Spider-Man. This undoes the marriage. As a "gift" due to her bold choice, she is granted powers and becomes Jackpot. She is warned that if she reveals the past to Peter, who has no memory of it, then it will create a timeline shockwave. As a result, Peter is back to status quo, single and with a secret identity. Aunt May doesn't know who is either (originally posted on Newsarama)
If this is true it just shows me yet again that Marvel is flying by the seat-of-its-pants with nothing more than shock-value going for it lately. Kill off a character, get mainstream press, only to revive said character a year later (or less). Captain America is probably getting ready to pop out of that grave shortly (I do like the current Cap arc by Brubaker though!)
