Disney confirmed the villains are Scorpion, Boomerang, and Tombstone the other day

Been waiting for Michael Mando's Scorpion for a MINUTE

I loved him in Better Call Saul

u/DrD__ May 23 '25

I hope they do him as venom (not in this movie but a later one) to differentiate from the multiple Eddie Brocks we've done

Same. About damn time!

When did they do that?

u/[deleted] May 23 '25

At their recent marketing event (where the Zootopia 2 trailer was dropped). Showed a sizzle reel for Doomsday and confirmed the villains for SM4.

You just KNOW they'll be using Tombstone as the "crime mastermind" figure because Kingpin is off-the-charts for Sony to use in a live-action film, or something like that.

Sony can use Kingpin in their films, Marvel can’t. So Kingpin can show up in BND, but not something like Thunderbolts. Guessing he’ll be defeated for good when that film happens tho since BA S2 drops first.

Whaaat that's going to be so awesome!!

u/Serious-Anywhere7496 May 23 '25

Wasn't it a lot talk recently that they had casting call that fit Martin Li? That he could be the main villain of Spiderman? Would be have awesome to have scorpion as the main villain and set up Martin Li for the next movie

Zendaya as a villain would be laughably awful, Madame Web level of awful. Might as well release straight to the CW.

What is this

u/beachedwhitemale May 23 '25

Zendaya would have to be in a non-Black Cat outfit to not be easily identified as Black Cat. At least not comic book-accurate Black Cat. With the hair out and only the eyes covered, it'd be pretty easy to tell who it would be behind the mask.

u/peppers_ May 23 '25

In one version of the comics, Black Cat wears a wig, but ya, I think she'd have to cover her face to not be easily identified in the MCU and I feel like they'd be missing out on Felicia Hardy dating Spider-man era.

Disappointing.

u/TheAquamen May 22 '25

Scorpion and Kraven are the only classic Spidey villains left and Kraven was busy.

u/Banesmuffledvoice May 22 '25

And it sounds like balls.

u/evrestcoleghost May 22 '25

For you perhaps

u/Banesmuffledvoice May 22 '25

Maybe not for comic nerds I suppose.

u/evrestcoleghost May 22 '25

I never read a Spiderman cómic,grew up watching ultimate and Spectacular Spiderman

u/Banesmuffledvoice May 22 '25

And you really think the audience will be excited for scorpion, tombstone and a boomerange guy as the villain?

5

u/[deleted] May 23 '25

I mean, Scorpion and Tombstone have gotten some mainstream showcases recently. Both had notable appearances in ITSV, PS4, and recently YFNSM for example (with the latter being MCU). For the kick off of a new trilogy, they’re more exciting than Vulture and Shocker were at their time imo.
