In honor of spiderman returning to the big screen this week.
We're going to take a look ahead past homecoming and see what potential baddies spidey could
be facing off against in homecoming 2... the homecomening...
homecomeninging…
you know what let’s go
Don’t forget to web sling that subscribe button and if your spider senses are tingling
it’s because you haven’t ticked that notification bell so you never miss a video from us at
babble top.
When you think glider, pumpkin bombs and pointy ears, he first thing you first think is green
goblin.
Well stop.
They’re not gonna do that again.
Not for a third time... at least not right away.
But you gotta have the glider and laugh and the bombs, so what are you gonna do.
I’ll tell you.
You get the hobgoblin and set it up for a big multi-movie arc.
Alright So Roderick Kingsley was obsessed with Norman Osborne and decided to mimic him
in his goblin-esque crimes.
All the while brainwashing one of peter’s buddies into thinking he is the actual hobgoblin.
So here is where the arc comes in.
That friend is Ned Leeds, who is peter’s best friend in homecoming and what a tragic
twist it would be to have him brainwashed and set against Spider-man only to find out
he isn’t even the guy behind the scenes.You hear that?
It's the money printing itself.
The rhino needs a reboot almost as much as Spidey did after amazing spiderman 2.
A film the rhino was sadly in.
Being shown as a mech suit wearing, tattooed Russian gangster by Paul Giamatti.
Just so much wrong there.
And frankly, he deserves more than what he got in that movie.
Sure, he’s always been the dumb henchman for a much smarter, string pulling villain,
but that’s what is great about him.
He’s nearly invincible once he gets going and that could bring a lot of amazing action
to whichever Spider-Man film he appears in.
As someone that needs someone else to plan his heists, Rhino would most likely show up
as part of a larger group/evil plan, and that screams Sinister Six.
If Sony is still working towards a Spider-Man Avengers-style team-up that is more about
villains than heroes, than Rhino has to be a part of it.
If goblins aren’t your thing.
Then maybe alien goo is and that’s where Venom comes in.
originally in the comics starts off as peter’s suit before he realizes it’s alive and is
corrupting him.
So he gets rid of it and just like a scorned lover it immediately finds someone else to
try and throw it and fists and kicks in his face.
Sony has already announced Tom Hardy as Venom so they will be forgoing peter having the
suit first this time around but a showdown between the wall crawler and the drooling
maw is bound to happen sooner or later.
No matter what it has to turn out better than the time Forman was venom right?
Well if you do one goopy alien.
Then you have to do one more it's just a rule.
Carnage is one of the most called for villains in spidey’s rogue gallery and understandably
so.
The child of venom is just like dear old dad... mom except that this symbiote is bonded to
a serial killer named Cletus Cassidy who has zero moral compass and really enjoys killing.
So needless to say this symbiote is a bit more unhinged.
Carnage would make a really solid companion film following a venom and spiderman showdown
so while it is possible to see the red black menace.
It is probably at least 2 movies away
Now we come to the first 60s era spider man villain.
Mac Gargan first appeared in amazing spider man 19 under the employ of J. Jonah Jameson
who was trying to figure out how Peter Parker was getting such amazing photos of the Spider-man.
After failing to figure out the park- spiderman connection he was used as a test subject and
the Scorpion was created.
Not the most clever villain for sure but if we are ever going to see a big screen version
of the Sinister 6 then the scorpion will have to be present.
Few Spider-Villains translate from page to screen as well as Chameleon could.
Considering his ability to shape shift, he could theoretically take the form of anyone
in Peter Parker/the MCU’s world.
In addition to the ability to shape shift, Chameleon has enhanced strength and enhanced
longevity, meaning he lives a long, long time. he’s impersonated Spider-Man and that’s
something that, while not unique to the books (see above... and below), it’d be a first
for the hero on the Silver Screen.
He’s also battled both Iron Man and Hulk, so he’d be a great fit for the new and increasingly
large/awesome Marvel/Sony Partnership.
Alistaire Smythe is probably best known for his major role in the animated Spider-Man
in the 90’s as the creator of the mechanical spider-slayers.
He is known as a genius who is more of a behind the scenes villain than perhaps any other
person on this list.
Because of that he would be a completely different kind of villain than people have seen before.
The ’10’s Amazing Spider-Man films introduced Smythe, albeit briefly, as the smarmy boss
of Jamie Foxx’s Electro played by The Office‘s BJ Novak,.
The character deserves more than a quick nod, and his Spider Slayers could be a welcome
addition to Spider-Man’s film canon.
The MCU has already introduced the Kingpin on the first (and second) season(s) of Netflix’s
Daredevil.
He has been played (amazingly) by Vincent D’Onofrio, and was last seen locked up in
a maximum-security prison (that he was essentially already running).
Considering the long history of Kingpin as a Spider-Man villain as well, it’s not hard
to see why fans have been clamoring for D’Onofrio to show up in Spider-Man’s world as well.
If this were to happen it’d mean that perhaps Spider-Man would run into Marvel's other street
level heroes and While it’d take a lot for that to happen, it would be truly amazing
see.
After Doc Strange introduced Steve Ditko’s psychedelic visuals to the MCU it would be
fantastic to see what Marvel could do with Mysterio.
Mysterio is one of the few spider-man villains who has zero super powers relying on tricks
and visual effects to battle the wall crawler.
He is one of Spidey’s oldest foes showing up for the first time in issue #13 of the
amazing spider man.
There is a fan theory which says we may have already seen Mysterio on the big screen in
Raimi’s original spider-man trilogy being embodied by the legendary Bruce Campbell.
Lucky for us this is only a fan theory as the MCU version of spider-man has been staying
away from rehashing characters we have already seen on screen.
Kraven is known as the best hunter in the Marvel universe, and is perhaps best known
for the 1987 storyline “Kraven’s Last Hunt”.
In that storyline, essentially an aging and aggravated Kraven decides to end his life
after finally catching the one prey he could never best, Spider-Man.
After shooting Spidey with a coma-inducing drug and burying him alive, he impersonated
Spider-Man and ended up going on an extremely violent campaign as the web-head himself.
People have longed to see Kraven on the big screen since the Sam Raimi/Tobey Maguire films
and he could bring some grounded change to the Spider-Verse showcasing a small scale
story.
