- Steve Rogers/Captain America
- Confirmed.
- Stephen Strange/Doctor Strange
- Jossed.
- Matt Murdock/Daredevil
- Jossed.
- Jessica Jones
- Jossed.
- Luke Cage
- Jossed.
- Daniel Rand/Iron Fist
- Jossed.
- Frank Castle/The Punisher
- Jossed.
- Nick Fury
- Jossed.
- Maria Hill
- Jossed.
- Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow
- Jossed. (Though she does get mentioned by Flash.)
- Why not? We have been waiting for Carnage to appear since the original trilogy, and he appeared in the second Amazing Spider-Man game, so what is Sony waiting for? Give! Us! Carnage!
- Doesn't look like it, especially because of Venom (2018).
- Just like when Kurt keeps getting cut off when he calls himself "The Incredible Nightcr--".
- Or, like The Incredible Hulk we'll get a brief one during the opening credits. Showing only key moments, such as: Peter picked on by his classmates, bitten by the spider, in a fight with Flash Thompson, wrestling Crusher Hogan, letting the burglar go (either because he needs to look out for number one, he'll miss the part where it was his problem or it's not his policy), found Uncle Ben lying dead, confronts the burglar, left him hanging for the police, and lastly becomes Spider-Man stopping mostly robbers and regular criminals.
- Jossed. The most we get is him mentioning he was bit by a spider.
- Jossed.
- Definitely jossed. He's likely not even going to be a part of the MCU at all, given Sony's current plans.
- Jossed.
- Black Cat: a teenage athlete who becomes a cat burglar and purposely lets Spidey onto her trail so they can meet having a crush on him.
- Squirrel Girl: possible classmate for Peter who due to being a "gifted" is part squirrel and helps Peter out by talking to squirrels, becoming a composite of Chat from the Marvela Adventures comics.
- She will completely destroy whoever the main villain is.
- A Canon Foreigner.
- Betty Brandt: A slightly older intern at the Daily Bugle where Peter sells his fight footage as Spider-Man.
- A character based on Angelica Jones from Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends: She wouldn't be Firestar or be a mutant though. She could possibly have an Adaptation Name Change so her last name isn't "Jones", based upon both the X-Men embargo and the surname already being associated with Jessica Jones. But she'd have Ms. Lion!
- Silver Sable: She'd have an Age Lift and be Peter's age, making it appropriate. They did hook up in a "What If?" issue after Black Cat died in it.
- Mary Jane Watson.
- A teen heroine as a civillian.
- Chat Sanduval: adapted more traditionally than fusing her with Squirrel Girl like mentioned above. This way she's still a Latina.
- Mattie Franklin, J. Jonah Jameson's niece who could become Spider-Woman in a sequel.
- An expy of the Ultimate Kitty Pryde.
- Liz Allan
- Confirmed. But unfortunately for Peter she has to move away due to the events of the movie and the relationship is over before it really gets going.
- Michelle
- If the action figures revealed at SDCC are of any indication, this is as good as confirmed—the antagonists of the movie are Vulture, Tinkerer, and Shocker.
Toomes' motivation could be that he was the originator of the Falcon's flight tech before his work was appropriated by the U.S. Government, essentially doing to him what they tried to do to Tony Stark in Iron Man 2.
His rig is much larger and bulkier than Falcon's and includes a full helmet with face mask, which lends some weight to the theory that it's a less advanced model of the same design.
- Jossed as far as the appearance from the Vulture in either of Civil War's stingers, though the Falcon harness was temporarily appropriated during the film. The rest of the theory has yet to be confirmed/jossed.
- Jossed.
- Jossed.
- Jossed, though they are hinted to make a future appearance in The Stinger.
- Jossed. Vulture is an adult.
- Jossed. But given that one of the teacher's surname is Warren...perhaps an MCU Clone Saga is coming?
- Jossed; Vulture made his wings for himself out of what is essentially stolen Chitauri tech. (Sure, he found it first, but t was looted from a site that Damage Control had jurisdiction over)
- Jossed.
- Wouldn't it make more sense for this version of Nova to be Sam Alexander?
- I agree.
- Richard was Spidey's ally first. Perhaps a Composite Character of the two?
- He'll be The Rival.
- Jossed.
- Jossed.
- Peter taking a different stance from Tony as far as the accords go. Remember, Peter was recruited by Tony basically because Tony got there first, but his personality and worldview edge much closer to Steve. Also keep in mind Spiderman's pivotal role in the conflict in the original comics, which was Adapted Out of the film version. Tony is seen often telling Peter to stay out of certain situations, and the Accords may have something to do with that.
- Confirmed, both they make up by the end.
- Jossed.
- Jossed.
- Sort of confirmed. It's going to be on the score.
- It could be played during a school dance.
- Jossed.
- Jossed.
- Jossed.
- J. Jonah Jameson since J. K. Simmons will be busy in Gotham being Batman's best friend on the police force.
- Alternately, J. Jonah Jameson, Senior.
- A teacher or janitor who is actually an undercover S.H.I.E.L.D. agent assigned to protect Peter.
- Jossed. He plays a neighbor.
- Jossed.
- Jossed.
- Jossed.
- Jossed.
- His role in Justice League is said to be pretty small, so they theoretically could make it work.
- Jossed. Jameson is not in the film.
- Andrew and Emma Stone will have a picture cameo as Richard and Mary Parker.
- Tobey in flashbacks as Uncle Ben.
- It would be funny if Jameson was producing a "documentary" on Spiderman and they show Peter Parker on the set doing publicity shots with either Maguire or Garfield playing the role of the "Spider Menace."
- Peter doesn't work at the Daily Bugle (yet), so he probably wouldn't be doing professional photography work.
- Jossed.
- Jossed.
- J. K. Simmons is not available. Someone else playing J. Jonah Jameson will be rejected by the fandom, simply because he's not J. K. Simmons.
- We have already seen Peter Parker as a freelance photographer.
- Being a photographer ain't what it used to be, now that every random dude in the street is a photographer (cameras are a standard feature of all cell phones worth their name).
- It allows Marvel to exploit the fourth-wall breaking that Deadpool made popular. An organization within the Marvel Cinematic Universe that publishes comic books based on the great superheroes? Or even films? Hilarious!
- It would be a fountain of cameos. And may even justify a longer guest appearence of Stan Lee. "Hey, Stan Lee, don't you want to be Peter Parker's boss in the new Spider-Man film, and even give him a No-Prize?"
- And, the most important part... it has already been done in comics◊.
- Jossed. Peter has a lot going on.
- Jossed. No Jameson.
- Jossed.
- Partially Jossed. Peter is still coming into his own and taking on Vulture, a single super criminal, is a big deal for him coming into his own. However, The Mid-Credits scene has Mac Gargan allude to friends of his who want revenge on Spider-Man, which implies the Sinister Six have yet to become full on villains, but have still been defeated as uncostumed crooks and are on their way to becoming the Sinister Six.
- This actually could be possible since he does look similar to Harry Osborn in the comics. However, he's rumored to be playing a role in the movie named "Jason".
- Jossed. Harry doesn't appear.
- An alleged callsheet lists his surname as being Morita. Possibly confirmed.
- Confirmed. A WW2-era photograph of his grandfather can be seen hanging in his office.
- Jossed. Though Word of God did confirm that they were the same character.
- The Tinkerer
- Jossed, that's Michael Chernus's part.
- The Prowler
- Confirmed... Although he's not the Prowler just yet.
- The Beetle
- Rand Robertson
- Phil Urich
- Childish Gambino
- But one or two might show up, desperately trying to rebuild. Or Hydra is reduced to a few Neo-Hydra gangs (like Neo-Nazi/white supremacist gangs).
- Confirmed.
- Jossed. Attah is playing Abe and Glover is playing Aaron Davis.
- Confirmed.
- Fox and Marvel have denied rumors that there are plans to bring the Fantastic Four into the MCU. Similarly, Marvel and Sony did the same thing in regards to Spider-Man, denying rumors that there were plans to bring Spider-Man into the MCU by crossing it over with Sony's The Amazing Spider-Man Series... before it was eventually revealed that Spider-Man really was being brought over into the MCU (albeit ignoring The Amazing Spider-Man Series and instead starting from scratch).
- Fox and Marvel are already developing two television series together. If they can work together to produce TV shows, they could also probably produce movies as well. note
- Fox's past attempts at bringing the Fantastic Four to film have ranged from So Bad, It's Good at best to In Name Only at worst, and they've poisoned the brand to the point that the two best options they have are either striking a deal with Marvel to bring the Fantastic Four to the MCU like Sony did with Spider-Man (which would allow Fox to still profit from the brand while Marvel handles the movies, and could also open up the doors to bringing the X-Men to the MCU as well) or simply letting the rights revert back to Marvel anyway (like what happened with Daredevil, coincidentally another superhero that Fox once owned the rights to). They could also try and make another Fantastic Four film by themselves (even after Fantastic Four (2015) bombed horribly, the success of Deadpool (2016) showed that Fox can still put out good Marvel movies when they get the right people for the job and take a hands-off approach), but that would be quite the long shot.
- Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four are closely associated with each other (Spidey himself applied to be a member at one point and is good friends with the Human Torch, to say nothing of his time as the Bombastic Bag-Man, Dr. Doom is just as much a Spider-Man villain as he is a Fantastic Four villain, and both were co-created by Stan Lee). If Marvel wanted to introduce the Fantastic Four via another MCU movie (like how Spider-Man was introduced via Captain America: Civil War), a Spider-Man movie would be most appropriate.
- Jossed. Kevin Feige has stated that there are absolutely no plans to introduce the Fantastic Four into the MCU, nor any discussions about it. Repeatedly. Even while promoting upcoming films. He states this quite often, actually. They wouldn't keep it secret.
- A conflicting rumor places her as Betty Brant—which would make sense, given that Ned Leeds is apparently high-school aged in this continuity.
- She does look like Gwen Stacy in the trailer and in a group shot with the other characters.
- She actually might be Gwen apparently.
- Jossed, she does indeed play Betty.
- Jossed. He's completely absent in Far From Home.
- Jossed. She's the counterpart to Mary Jane.
- Jossed.
- We saw a different girl with what looked like pure white hair in the trailer, so she could be MCU Felicia.
- Jossed. She's the counterpart to Mary Jane.
- Jossed.
- Jossed.
- Jossed. Maybe in the sequel.
As Spider-Man, many are initially fawning over him. People like Carol Danvers and Jessica Jones admit to finding him attractive...only to be absolutely grossed out upon realizing that they found a fifteen/sixteen year old sexy.
- Jossed.
- Confirmed.
- Jossed.
- Jossed.
- Jossed.
- Since comics Flash was a Spidey fanboy, it could be used as a parallel between Peter and Flash due to them being academic rivals who like the superpowered heroes.
- Confirmed in Far From Home
- An assembly is held in Midtown High and the guest speaker is Colonel Carol Danvers.
- Peter Parker sees Matt Murdock and they both say "hi" to each other. Matt through his radar sense sees Peter tinkering with his hiding web shooters and then walks way with a smile.
- Bonus points if Peter helps out Matt because he really thinks he's "blind" blind.
- A shadowy figure finds interest in Spidey while watching news footage of him. The camera then pans over to reveal a Green Goblin mask.
- The Shocker swearing revenge on Spider-Man, only to be interrupted by the ending production logos.
- A red-skinned demon taking interest in Peter and musing about how he'll enjoy taking his happiness away from him. Then Doctor Strange (2016) shows up, kicks his ass, and tells him to leave Peter alone.
- The demon will leave in a huff and said he'll focus on Ghost Rider anyway.
- Eddie Brock publishing a news article to the Daily Bugle...said article features a certain substance having been discovered on another planet.
- Jossed. There is going to be a new cinematic Venom, but it's going to be separate from the MCU made by Sony to try to establish a franchise without Marvel Studios' involvement.
- Aunt May is watching a live news report about a space shuttle mission headed by Col. John Jameson, whose shuttle is experiencing technical failures during the landing sequence. "Oh my god, Peter are you watching this? Peter?!" Cut to Peter's bedroom with the window still open.
- Peter goes as Spider-Man to a Halloween party, thinking that people will think he's just wearing a costume. He then bumps into another kid wearing a Spidey costume and it turns out to be Miles Morales. After some silence, the two say "Well this is awkward."
- Vulture is shown in prison with five other individuals, complaining about how annoying Spidey is and that they should team up. A guard then barks to them that they have a visitor and in walks Norman Osborn, who has a little proposition for them.
- The Vulture receiving an offer to upgrade his equipment...from Otto Octavius.
- A couple in Algeria are living in a low-income apartment. While the woman is making dinner, she sees news footage of Spider-Man. Something about him makes her react in shock. When her husband asks what's wrong, the wife explains that she thinks the person on the screen might be their son.
- Spider-Man is swinging when suddenly his Spider-Sense has gone crazy. He stops and looks around, thinking it's a fluke he shrugs it off and swings away. Then we pull back to reveal he's indeed being watched, through a crystal ball by a blind, paraplegic, elderly woman in a dark cobweb-filled room. She enigmatically says something about his destiny. Then a heavily scarred man bursts in."Al, what the... And you give me a hard time about cleaning my room?!"
- Zendaya shows up to tell the audience once and for all that she's not playing Mary Jane.
- A woman is assaulted by a group of criminals. A familiar 'thwhip' of a web is heard, and the criminals get yanked into the dark one at a time...but then the woman is seen fleeing, as the viewer can hear the mysterious vigilante attack the criminals...strangely, it sounds more like violent mauling. Soon, it ceases. The vigilante is still not seen, but the viewer can hear a deep laugh, as the camera pans to under a street light. The figure's shadow is seen on a brick wall...and it's revealed that the figure has a fanged maw, and a long tongue. The Venom symbol flashes on screen, before cutting to black.
- Jossed. There is going to be a new cinematic Venom, but it's going to be separate from the MCU made by Sony to try to establish a franchise without Marvel Studios' involvement.
- A character whose face is obscured is shown to have a collection of information about the heroes and villains of the MCU, and refers to their "master plan", implying they are the Master Planner.
- At the end of the movie, Aunt May is cleaning Peter's room when she finds Peter's backpack. While Peter is chilling on the couch, he hears his aunt screaming and quickly runs over to his room. In his room, he sees May crying, with his backpack on the floor...and his Spider-Man suit in her arms. She looks at him and whispers, "You...You're Spider-man?"
- Jossed. She discovers he's Spiderman, but she walks in on him wearing the costume and drops a Curse Cut Short.
- Tony is searching around the government's database on superhumans, monitoring the various enhanced people popping up around the world (could lead to some Defenders/Doctor Strange/Inhumans cameos). He sees a tab that is titled strangely: "Spider-Men?" At first, he giggles, thinking that it's about Peter. Then, he starts reading it and is surprised by what he sees. Not only is there a file on Peter but there are files and video clips of others. A Hispanic girl at some cult-meeting in Brooklyn, a Hispanic teenager working as an intern at Alchemax, a young black kid meeting his uncle at prison, a blonde teenager in a white hoodie beating men up, an asian girl fighting some baddies near Peter's school,...and a photo of Michelle. He'll quickly steal this info, uploading it to a hard-drive or something, and shuts off the computer. (Cut to black)
- Jossed. The real tease is much more small scale and direct, by simply introducing Mac Gargan.
- Peter is walking down the street with a grocery bag of eggs when suddenly his phone starts ringing. He assumes it's Aunt May or Tony Stark until he picks it up. "Is this Peter Parker?" the caller asks. Peter is immediately confused on what's happening until the caller says this. "My name is Nick Fury, and I know who you are."
- Peter drops the egg bag and asks Fury if he's coming after him, not knowing who he is.
- Jossed.
- Peter's in the doctor's office... Doctor Strange that is, telling Peter that Mary Jane and Gwen Stacy were both Ret-Gone. You know how it happened.
- In a party supplies store, some kids are in the Halloween costume aisle and one kid is shown a bootleg Spider-Man outfit, but he doesn't like it as "the eyes are the wrong shape". A heavily scarred man points a gun at the kid, saying "oh you WILL like it."
- A young man reads an online news story about Spider-Man and then smugly says "Wait till he meets me." We then get a Wham Shot of Kraven the Hunter's lion vest on a mannequin, surrounded by weapons.
- Jossed. Plus, it turns out Sony is considering making a film with Kraven in it.
- Michelle goes to a secluded location where we are shown a young man who will be the villain of the next MCU Spider-Man movie. It turns out she is a Canon Foreigner; the sister of the future villain, who will be his Morality Pet.
- Jossed.
- By introducing the one character who has plagued Spider-Man for all his days and has come closer to defeating him than any of his deadliest foes: J. Jonah Jameson.
- Jossed. He's not in the film in the slightest.
- A Troper adds a troll-ish mention of Zendaya to someone else's theory. Michelle walks in and tells them it isn't funny anymore. The audience will listen. The joke will end. We shall rejoice.
- At an airport, Michelle's family is handing over their luggage, as they are going on an overseas holiday. The mother then gives the family's passports to an official, who checks it over. A Wham Shot can show that Michelle's passport reads "Michelle Jane Watson".
- Jossed. You're fighting a battle already lost.
- All Jossed. The Vulture meets Mac Gargan when he is locked up in the Raft and the only implication for the sequels is that he'll become a villain in the next Spider-Man film and also that some criminals are teaming up to exact revenge, implying that we'll finally get a proper live action Sinister Six.
- Jossed.
- Tony can be Peter's benefactor in superheroics; the new suit and spidey-signal are just the start. It's also an ideal set up in case Peter has to run off during work hours for superheroing. I.E. "Hey, where did Parker go?" "He's running an errand for the boss; something urgent".
- Tony can help the young Gadgeteer Genius get his foot in the large-scale industrial engineering door; he was quite impressed with the webbing in Civil War.
- It's an excuse to chat up Peter's attractive aunt.
- Jossed.
- Jossed.
- Jossed.
- Or Zendaya.
- This is clearly a joke, but Michelle is a student.
- We never even see the Vice Principal.
- Phineas Mason's creating of the gadgets will be called tinkering.
- Herman Schultz will follow up usage of his signature gauntlets with: "What a Shocker!"
- Adrian Toomes shows up. Spidey does his usual thing which in this case ends up being something like: "You're like an evil version of Falcon or something! Like a-a-a Crow? Buzzard? V-Vulture? Vulture! There we go!"
- Spidey himself names his villains since he is something of a Promoted Fanboy. Note that many of names Spider-Man villains have, while descriptive, are rarely flattering.
- Jossed. Jackson Brice calls himself the Shockerand Toomes and Horton simply aren't called their names directly.
- Mysterio will use Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane.
- Jossed. He's explicitly mundane.
- Green Goblin will use a Chitauri glider.
- Rhino will use a modified H.A.M.M.E.R. tech Iron Man suit.
- The Lizard is an Inhuman.
- As is Sandman, though his Terrigenesis occurred as he fell into the sand experiment from the comics and movie.
- The Chameleon will use S.H.I.E.L.D. holographic disguise tech.
- Kraven uses a inferior variation of the Super Soldier Serum to hone his senses. Maybe even Wakandan science. Or he could be a fraud.
- Doctor Octopus creates four evil versions of Tony's robot arms.
- Judas Traveller can be seen in the background at least once per movie and is used as nothing more than a cameo.
- The cure for Michael Morbius's disease is modified by Hydra in an attempt to create a new super soldier serum.
- And it will be played by Zendaya.
- The Spot mastered portal magic as a fighting style before leaving Kamar-Taj and now uses it to commit crimes.
- Carnage was a result of HYDRA reverse-engineering the Venom symbiote to be a living weapon.
- But he will be Man Behind the Man for Zendaya/Michelle.
- Jossed. He's simply Toomes's tech guy.
- Jossed.
- Jossed.
- Actually, kind of confirmed. She asks to be called MJ at the end of the film. No word if Jane is her middle name, but it could still be.
- Jossed. It's confirmed that she is more or less the counterpart to Mary Jane.
- Toomes' vendetta seems to just be against Tony Stark and his company. Unless Ben worked for Tony (which is unlikely, given that no one mentioned that in Civil War), Toomes would have little reason to harm the Parkers personally.
- Jossed. Vulture is completely unconnected to Ben Parker, whose death isn't a plot point at all, let alone properly addressed.
- It will be called Spider-Man: Shut Up About Zendaya, She Isn't the Lead.
- It will be called Web of Spider-Man, the name of a real Spider-Man title.
- It will be called Spider-Man: The Big Game.
- Jossed. It's called "Spider-Man: Far From Home."
- Jossed.
- That wouldn't work. Hydra has gone through serious Villain Decay and the remnants left were decimated by the military after Glenn Talbot used Gideon Malick's intel to arrange an attack on all of Hydra's bases. They haven't been been heard from since. The Watchdogs included former members of Hydra, indicating that the organization is in shambles at best. If they had an agent with powers on par with Spider-Man, they would use her as more than a spy for one person. All of the heroes are threats to Hydra if they are still existing in some capacity. If they are some would at least be gunning for Coulson.
- Well, they could change her backstory so that instead of working for Hydra, she could be working for another organization like Hammer Industries or possibly A.I.M. or a group of Hydra sympathizers. Maybe they're spying on Peter because of how close he is with Tony.
- Jossed, her full name is Michelle Jones and her initials are MJ.
- Eh, it could still be an alias. Then again, Word of God still insists that she's a Canon Foreigner.
- Confirmed. Peter's parents aren't ever mentioned.
- Miles Morales
- Gwen Stacy
- Miguel O'Hara
- Jessica Drew
- Venom
- Julia Carpenter
- Cindy Moon
- Confirmed.
- Anya Corazon
- Kane
- Ben Reilly
- Partially confirmed. While she tells him to "run the other way" if any superhero conflicts happen when he's around, she never singles out Spider-Man.
- Partially confirmed. It works out that way, and Tony takes full credit for it, but whether he planned it or not is ambiguous.
- This could explain the secrecy behind her character, how she seems to be an awkward genius, and how she will be important in the future of the MCU...though it would be weird to see Zendaya as a villain.
- So the sequel will have the Vulturess played by Zendaya.
- Jossed. Liz Allen is the Vulture's daughter.
- Jossed. Peter simply comes out on top.
- Jossed. The Avenger's methods are never mentioned.
- Though it is sort of referenced by the spider-suit's kill options when fully unlocked, along with Parker's insistence to not use said options.
- Jossed. Jameson and the Bugle are never mentioned.
- Jossed. Far From Home reveals that is a controversial sensationalist website.
- Pretty much jossed by the film's ending.
- Jossed.
- Jossed. Miles isn't in the movie, but Aaron Davis is.
- Jossed.
On the bright side, Tony is proud of Peter for managing to take down the Vulture without his upgraded suit, which he gives back, Peter is officially a standby Avenger, and he still has friends in Ned and Michelle, who is suspiciously chipper about Peter's failed fling with Liz.
- Well it isn't a happily ever after, but these details are quite off.
- Jossed.
- Jossed. Spider-Man is loyal to Iron Man's side and Scorpion is nowhere to be seen in terms of the action figures showing off the cast.
- Actually, confirmed! Mac Gargan is Michael Mando's character, although he doesn't suit up.
- It happens slightly earlier than the Homecoming dance, if the rumored plot leak is to be believed. The outline has her showing up on Peter's doorstep, revealing herself as his date, and delivering that very line. Her first name might actually be 'Michelle', though—it's suggested that she insists Peter calls her 'MJ' later on.
- Jossed. Zendaya said in an interview that the rumor is false (and had a laugh at how people jump to conclusions on the internet).
- Actually, semi-confirmed, maybe. While Zendaya was telling the truth in that she's not the Mary-Jane Watson "MJ," she is Michelle Jones "MJ," as she reveals at the end of the movie. Whether or not Michelle "MJ" and Mary-Jane "MJ" are counterparts to each other have yet to be seen.
- Kevin Feige has stated that She isn't Mary Jane, despite the shared nickname. However he seems to be open to the idea of her taking Mary Jane's place.
- A rumored plot outline has a throwaway line about Peter not knowing any redheads, which would indicate that if Peter knows Michelle, then she wouldn't have red hair at that point—which would fall in line with the hypothetical scenario explained above.
- Jossed. Zendaya has had an interview with THR where she basically says she is not who the rumors said.
- Maybe, maybe not. While she certainly isn't Mary-Jane Watson, the fact that Michelle Jones is still called MJ calls whether or not this is the counterpart into question. After all, it wouldn't be out of the question for this to be MJ with a Race Lift.
- Kevin Feige has stated that She isn't Mary Jane, despite the shared nickname. However he seems to be open to the idea of her taking Mary Jane's place.
- Maybe, maybe not. While she certainly isn't Mary-Jane Watson, the fact that Michelle Jones is still called MJ calls whether or not this is the counterpart into question. After all, it wouldn't be out of the question for this to be MJ with a Race Lift.
- It allows to bring the character back to the films
- It is a minor role, and may not conflict with the ongoing plots in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. The series can in turn make a passing by reference to that secret operation.
- It would be a nod to Ultimate Spider-Man (2012)
- Kenneth Choi will be playing the principal so this will be jossed.
- The Tinkerer: Michael Mando. He looks kind of like the character.
- Jossed. Michael Chernus is playing The Tinkerer.
- The Shocker: Bokeem Woodbine. His casting announcement happened around the closest to the beginning of production, so he most likely has a smaller part compared to the others, and the character is bound to be for this movie what Batroc The Leaper was for Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
- Confirmed.
- Confirmed!
- There's also the fact that, since many fans want both the movies and TV shows to crossover in some way, this could allow Daredevil and Punisher to finally appear in the movies.
- Jossed. As mentioned above, Vulture is the Big Bad played by Michael Keaton.
- Adding to this, Eddie Brock's parents were S.H.I.E.L.D. agents too. But they sided with HYDRA, and tried to kill the Parkers by crashing their plane only to get killed themselves after HYDRA feels they served their purpose.
- Also, they went undercover working for Oscorp, whose plans to recreate the Super Soldier formula. S.H.I.E.L.D. have Oscorp under their radar when they suspect Norman Osborn is involved in illegal activities. The Parkers' superior(s) who assigned them are HYDRA agents, and they want the formula to create an army for themselves. When the Parkers learn the truth, they use spider DNA to be ineffective (except on Peter).
- Jossed. The movie isn't going with the origin from The Amazing Spider-Man Series. Those movies are set in their own continuity. But that would have been neat Arc Welding if they had taken that route.
- The Rhino: played by... Joe Manganiello, the original cinematic Flash Thompson in a bit of a Casting Gag.
- Or a female version played by Zendaya.
- Mysterio: played by... Eric Balfour.
- Or a female version played by Zendaya.
- The Jackal: played by... Zendaya, I guess?
- If that turns out true than...Questionable Casting is in full effect.
- Shocker: And I'll say Zendaya before anyone else does.
- Morlun
- Doctor Doom, played by Oscar Isaac (and NOT Zendaya Coleman). Marvel was able to have Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch appear in Avengers: Age of Ultron, albeit with the condition of not being able to reference the X-Men in any sort of way. They could possibly do the same with Doom, having him be the Big Bad of this movie while not referencing the Fantastic Four (assuming that Marvel doesn't eventually get the FF movie rights back from Fox).
- The Hobgoblin. No one said it couldn't be a Goblin Spider-Man fights.
- All Jossed. It's Vulture. Shocker is in the movie, but he's only a minor villain.
- Jossed. He's playing "Flash" Thompson, and is identified as such.
- Jossed. Sinister Six, as a project, has been cancelled. The only spin-offs that are being considered going forward are the animated Spider-Man movie and Venom — and even then, the animated movie is the only film that actually appears to be going anywhere.
- Debatable. Depending on how you interpret Mac Gargan's words, his allies outside of prison could serve as the foundation for the team.
- Jossed: Sony is still holding out onto the hope that they can build a franchise off of the success of this movie, with their own mini Spidey-verse outside of the MCU.
- Firstly, it (and perhaps Guardians 2 to some degree) will be meant as the Breather Episode before things well and truly go to #$&* in the Infinity War duology.
- Second, part of the beauty of introducing Spider-Man into the MCU a full nine years in is that you've got a lot of young kids that may have been really young kids when the first Iron Man kicked off the MCU in 2008, that are now teenagers in 2017 and will have a relatable superhero to whom they can immediately latch on. So perhaps with this film, they can target a (slightly) newer audience while also having a lot of content that would tie the film back into previous MCU offerings for fans that have stuck with the universe for longer.
- Somewhat confirmed.
- The character is simply too important to leave out of a greater cinematic setting, and is likely going to be poised to become a major player in the MCU after Phase 3 ends. The actor is also young enough to show up in MCU movies for several years.
- Jossed. He's playing Montana, the other Shocker.
- Jossed. Kevin Feige told IGN that Michelle's initials are merely a reference to Mary Jane. They apparently thought it would be funny if this Canon Foreigner had a similar name.
- Though No Way Home reveals her name is actually Michelle Jones-Watson
- Kraven the Hunter
- Hammerhead

- If the Venom movie fails, Marvel Studios probably wouldn't want to touch him too soon after. Plus, Sony is clearly trying to establish their own line of movies with the properties they have and may still want to keep the rights to Venom so they can still have a stronger grip on the other symbiote characters like Carnage, Toxin, and Scream.
- Word of God has repeatedly stated that the aren't including the villains featured in previous movies. It isn't that they can't use Venom, it's that they don't want to make them seem too similar. And given that Spider-Man 3 has become subject to years of vitriol due to the depiction of Venom there, emulating it in any way wouldn't be a thing Marvel Studios would actively want.
- It failed critically, but succeeded financially, so we can probably joss this one.
- Jossed. He is an adult.
- Jossed. He is now an old man after Endgame.
- Ned Leeds will be a composite of the M2 version of Phil Urich and will take on a the identity of a version of the Goblin, but wont be a villain. Both Leeds and Urich were variations of the Goblin in the comics and like Movie Leeds, M2 Urich was friends with Peter and knew his identity as Spider-man. This version of Urich was a heroic version of the Goblin.

- Scorpion would make more sense.
- If they do this, it'll be Mysterio and either Scorpion or Chameleon.
- Jossed. Mysterio is the only villain.
- Kevin Feige told IGN that the MJ nickname was nothing more than a "homage" to Mary Jane, so possibly confirmed.
- Alternatively, if Norman appears, the Vulture and maybe the future members of the Sinister Six will volunteer to assist Peter. After all, Norman Osborn represents everything Toomes hates-he's rich and incredibly powerful, with little to no respect for the little guys.
- Word of God says that no villains from previous Spider-Man movies will appear, so it's more likely that they'll stick with Scorpion, who has already been teased.
- Alternatively, if Norman appears, the Vulture and maybe the future members of the Sinister Six will volunteer to assist Peter. After all, Norman Osborn represents everything Toomes hates-he's rich and incredibly powerful, with little to no respect for the little guys.
Oscorp's most notable employees? Kraven, a mercenary animal expert who hunts for DNA samples; Dr. Curt Connors, who researches potential applications for DNA; and Otto Octavius, who designs and builds their equipment and machinery. All of these characters will have their lives ruined in some fashion by Spider-Man, leading to them teaming up with the other established villains in order to kill him.
- Alternatively the sequel will avoid the usual approach and bring in a different version of Osborn than the earlier movies did. We've seen Corrupt Corporate Executive Norman, so we now need to see Norman Osborn head of HAMMER/Thunderbolts, who's a Marvel wide villain or early Ditko Goblin/Osborn who wants to take over New York's underworld (which we saw revived in the Superior Spider-Man arc) and introduces himself to Peter by posing as a Hollywood executive who wants to take Spider-Man to Hollywood...the advantage is we can bring Peter's encounter with the Hulk in The Grotesque Adventure of the Green Goblin. So there's much Shared Universe points there. The Ditko Goblin is too Joker...so they'll probably go with HAMMER!Osborn and Thunderbolts!Osborn and there needs to be some kind of buildup to the SHIELD/HYDRA/Sokovia situation.
- Word of God has stated that none of the villains from the previous Spider-Man movies will be the villains in the MCU ones, so Osborn, Connors, and Octavius are all jossed. Also, Luke Cage has shown that Hammer's business is still being run, even producing dangerous new kinds of ammunition.
- Jossed. Oscorp is never mentioned in Far From Home and is mentioned to not exist in the MCU in No Way Home.
- Tony: How did you keep the real Mandarin from discovering you?Norman: I'm Norman Osborn.Peter: That's not really an answer, man.Norman: No, I was being arrogant by just stating my name as my response to Tony.Tony: You seriously felt the need to explain that to him? Why do so many people on the internet think so highly of you? You are a powerful business magnate who's obsessed with dressing up in a silly goblin costume.Norman: Simple, I'm Norman Osborn.Peter: Can I just web him up now?Norman: Not if you ever want to see Harry again!Peter: Your son? Have I even met him? Karen, have I met Harry Osborn?Tony: Well that's stupid.
- Unlikely, since Word of God says that they're using different villains.
- Jossed. He never appears or is mentioned in Far From Home.
- Toomes' men were his employees who joined him from the start. Norman would of had to know Toomes would steal the Chitauri gear before it happened to set up spies within the crew.
- Jossed. Osborn won't be the MCU Spider-Man movies, or at least what they have planned, since the creators are going for villains who haven't been adapted to film yet.
- Well considering that Homecoming is going for sociological realism, they won't want to compromise that by bringing a rich-kid into a magnet school. In the original comics, Peter met Harry in college, which Peter got in on scholarship. Raimi's Adaptation Distillation approach put Harry in the same high school as Peter even if it doesn't make sense except that Norman wants to "toughen up" Harry which is not believable for the wealthy-douchebag archetype of contemporary America.
- Alternatively, playing off the WMG that Norman bought Stark Tower, the Osborns simply moved from another part of the country to NYC for Norman's work. The school the kids go to seems to be more STEM-centric, and it's not unreasonable that Harry, whose father has a science background, would himself have an aptitude for science.
- Unless they're going to just not have Norman Osborn be the Green Goblin (which would be a waste), this is unlikely, as the MCU Spider-Man films are using villains not adapted by the previous films.
- Norman would probably still be married to Harry's mother. Granted, that wouldn't necessarily keep him from pursuing other women...but May doesn't seem like the type of woman who'd knowingly be a rich guy's mistress. She has plenty of admirers who aren't married to choose from.
- Osborn, if he even exists in the MCU would be a very wealthy business magnate. The possibility of him even dating a not particularly well-off woman living out of an apartment in Queens with her nephew is really not that realistic. Also, May doesn't seem to be attracted to men for their money, even when their good guys, and doesn't seem to want to find someone new in Homecoming at all despite multiple men clearly being into her (which makes sense when you consider that she's a widower). The only way I see Norman pursuing her is just as a means to fuck with Peter if he knows he's Spider-Man. And since May knows too, Peter would have no reason not to warn her that Osborn is just trying to get to him.
- Perhaps this Osborn will visit Aunt May, but instead of dating her, it'll be revealed that he was trying to track down Tony Stark's actions in hopes of finding any weapons caches (or something similar), and he's just pursuing every lead. It would be a funny Bait-and-Switch, especially for those who would be expecting this plot twist.
- Jossed. She never says that.
- Jossed.
Homecoming introduced Shocker, Scorpion (pre-transformation) and the Vulture, rounding up roughly half. The sequel ought to introduce the other three, and then the third movie will have the Sinister Six operating at full steam. Now, who are those three other members? Now, Marvel has said they preferably do not want to repeat villains used in previous movies so that rules out Electro, Lizard, Sandman, Rhino and Doctor Octopus. With that being the case, the remaining members of the Six in this continuity would be Mysterio, Kraven and Chamaleon (as the latter two are brothers, they'd be easier to introduce). Thus rounding up a team of:
- Vulture - As their brains and the leader.
- Kraven the Hunter - As the Genius Bruiser The Dragon.
- Mysterio - As their Evil Genius master of illusion.
- Chamaleon - As the master of disguise adjacent to Mysterio's trickery.
- Shocker - As the Dumb Muscle The Brute.
- Scorpion - As the other The Brute aiding Shocker.
- Or, if they want to go with somewhat more obscure villains...
- Scorpion: The Ax-Crazy Bad Boss leader, who is given a battle-suit with a giant stinger tail by Spencer Smythe.
- Molten Man: The estranged son of Vulture who is manipulated by Scorpion into having Spencer Smythe experiment on him. He will be Trapped in Villainy in exchange for being returned to normal and serve as an Evil Counterpart to Peter. He will be a gambling addict who blames his dad for all his problems before realizing he's a screwup, and redeeming himself for the sake of his beloved sister Liz.
- Grizzly: A former wrestler who tried to kill Crusher Hogan after being beaten by him in the ring. He was stopped by Spidey and joins the others to get revenge, being one of Scorpion's "friends" from before getting locked up. With a robotic exoskeleton harness created by Spencer Smythe, he becomes a super strong, super-villain version of his wrestling persona. He serves as The Big Guy and provides comic relief.
- Spencer Smythe: One of Scorpion's "friends" who has it in for Spider-Man. He's an Evil Genius Mad Scientist who used to work for Adrian Toomes's company who was fired by Toomes for being too sadistic and unstable. He provides the gear for Scorpion and Grizzly and is also the one who made Molten Man into what he is. He himself fights in a giant robot spider vehicle called the Spider Slayer.
- Vulture: He serves as the Six's Token Good Teammate, forced by the others to help them in exchange for a cure for his son, who he wants to help in hopes of him rejoining the family again, as his wife and daughter have separated from him.
- Shocker III: Yet another new Shocker who will mostly serve as The Generic Guy (Hey, someone has to get the short end of the stick) and as a henchman. Maybe a female version so they aren't just a boy's club.
- Or, if they want to go with somewhat more obscure villains...
- In Far From Home, we've got Mysterio confirmed, and while nothing's official, evidence suggests that Numan Acar's "Dmitri" is The Chameleon, which means the only things we need now are Scorpion to transform, and another villain. Perhaps the third movie will introduce said sixth member, and Marvel and Sony will make this trilogy a 4-film series.
- Tony: Liz? Who's Liz?Peter: (Oh, Crap! expression) Um, Mr. Toomes, can we move on?Tony: No, seriously, who's Liz? Fellow supervillain, hero, hostage?Toomes: (catches on) Actually, no, I don't need to know about her love life-Tony: Wait-"love life?" ("Eureka!" Moment) Wait. Nooo. (tries to keep a straight face) You didn't.Peter: Can we move on-Tony: You did! Okay, young man, we need to talk about your taste in women-it starts with dating a supervillain's daughter, next thing you know there's this hot thief with a cat costume and the power to induce bad luck, and you really think you can change her-Toomes: You know, I can make a shiv, right now.
- Jossed. Toomes is absent in Far From Home.
Smash Cut to "ONE YEAR LATER" (since Kevin Feige expressed an interest in having each sequel take place in another school year) and Aunt May is now fine with Peter being Spider-Man. Though, for drama's sake she'll still have reservations.
- Alternatively, it will cut to Tony just getting ready for his wedding, at which point there will be a call from Peter. Tony rolls his eyes and opens the phone.Tony: Yeah sure kid, is there a man in a goblin costume or something I'm kinda-Tony: (expression falls) ...Happy? Could you cover me for like...an hour?
- Jossed.
Spencer dies at the end of the story, but his son Alistair survives and joins the Sinister Six to seek revenge.
- Jossed. It's called Spider-Man: Far From Home.
In the MCU, Hobgoblin is an ex-Oscorp employee who was mutated in an experiment, with his real identity unknown. As revenge, Hobgoblin forms a gang of thugs called "the Goblins" to terrorize Oscorp.
Of course, Spider-Man is a frequent thorn in the side of the Goblins, and eventually Hobgoblin joins the Sinister Six to defeat him once and for all.
Will it be Tom's last appearance as Spider-Man? They've hinted at Miles by featuring his uncle as a minor character in Homecoming. Could they kill Peter off and then have Miles take up his mantel? Or will it simply usher in a new era in the MCU, as it's confirmed that the events of Infinity War II will play heavily into the movie's plot?
- Jossed. Infinity War and Endgame happen in between.
- Confirmed. He has more screen time.
- Confirmed, but the specifics are Jossed.
- Norman Osborn
- Word of God goes against this idea. It could change, but it certainly isn't planned like this.
- The City of New York. It will be converted into a bunker where people can retreat to in another big-scale attack.
The twist is that he's even more of a Noble Demon than Vulture; he actually respects his teachers a lot and is pretty protective of the school. Thus, he ends up actually being something of a Friendly Enemy, seeing as how he likes most Badass Normal heroes. Also, if he's gay, he'll have A Taste of Defeat moment where he humiliates a homophobic target.
- Or maybe they will stick to the classic Mysterio of the comics and make him an older villain and Large Ham. The MCU largely does prefer to stay as close as possible to the 616 version after all, and after Doctor Strange (2016) they can go far and out and put Ditko's Mysterio complete with Fishbowl helmet. Of course there's one way to make a distinctly MCU version of the character and still be classic Mysterio. Originally, Mysterio was a washed-up Hollywood guy on the skids, well there's already a character like that in MCU and who has experience in conjuring illusions and trickery...yes in MCU Mysterio is Trevor Slattery. Sir Ben Kingsley will follow-up as the next old thespian fighting off against Tom Holland, and like Tom Holland he is British. It will be glorious.
- The "fellow student" part is jossed at very least; Jake Gyllenhaal is in talks to take the role, who is several years older than Tom Holland.
- Confirmed.
- Confirmed. It's used in Infinity War.
- Venom (2018) not doing well doesn't automatically revert the character to Marvel Studios, so I'll propose an alternative; Liz becomes Screwball, like in Marvel's Spider-Man, but ultimately isn't a villain, just a person for Peter to win over.
- This actually lines up quite well with the things said by the creators, at least for the films. Since it seems they're building up Scorpion as the sequel's Big Bad (seriously, why else would they make him the focus of the mid-credits scene?), it seems reasonable to assume that there won't be any Green Goblin in the sequel, as it would easily overshadow him. Especially since even now, with no hint of the Osbornes at all, they are still being theorized about more than Scorpion.
Li could become a Composite Character by inheriting the riches of a family member (father or mother or someone else who trusted him with said resources) and create F.E.A.S.T. (in an Osborn-like way) for the sheltered as a young businessman, while Mister Negative uses it as a cover for his criminal ops to fill in the vacuum caused by Wilson Fisk's defeat (again, like the comics but in a more teen-relevant manner).
He'd probably be attending the same high school as Peter because of his absence during the Zero Matter experimentation, and in an aversion to most users of the trope, Mister Negative and Martin Li could be established as one and the same (yet unaware of each other) to the audience, while it takes some of the movie for Peter to figure it out himself, similarly to Adrian Toomes as the Vulture. Perhaps Peter'd even figure it out in the most pragmatic way possible, by knocking out Negative during one of their battles only to find out it's someone he knows from high school, Martin Li. Similarly, Negative could knock out Spidey and learn his identity from there by unmasking him...either way, someone finds out the truth at some point.
- For some added comics influence, he could gather a group of fellow youth-ranged criminals to be part of his "gang" which he calls either the Inner Demons or simply the Demons, or maybe even the Dragons for Asian influence.
- And (if she's even relevant at this point anymore) he could have come into contact with Liz Allan at some point and utilized the knowledge of her father's arrest at Peter's hands to anger her to becoming a supervillain (maybe not right away, this could just be foreshadowed). This would be an interesting allusion to Mister Negative's corruption abilities in the comics if he doesn't have them in the movie.
- By Far From Home, she has figured out his identity.
- That might very well be what they do. Osborn has been built up in The Oughties and The New '10s as a Marvel-wide villain, head of HAMMER, Thunderbolts and so on. We haven't seen this version of Osborn in movies yet, mostly because he didn't exist at the time Raimi made his films, he had just recently come back from the dead at that time. Now this version of Osborn is not too popular (poor man's Luthor is one of the many nicknames) but considering how DCEU have wrecked the real Luthor, I think MCU might make it work (just like Thanos, poor-man's-Darkseid is now overshadowing the real thing).
- Now that Disney is purchasing 20th Century Fox, this would be wildly unnecessary. Besides, Word of God says they aren't using the villains who've appeared in the Raimi or Webb films.
- Jossed. It's been said by the creators of Homecoming that the Spider-Man enemies used will be ones who haven't appeared on film yet. If Osborn won't be Spider-Man's villain, what would be the point?
- Maybe Peter or Ned will accidentally leave the camera phone at school, since Tony gives Peter a new one after seeing how broken it is. This results in a janitor to find it and giving it to a teacher to return to Peter since it still works fine. The teacher is none other than Ms. Warren, who ends up playing the video and finding out her student is Spider-Man. Feeling the need to tell somebody due to her shock, she calls her brother, one Professor Miles Warren.
- Jossed. His identity is revealed by Mysterio sending a video to the Daily Bugle.
- Hey, possibly. That was one of the plans that didn't pull through in the Raimi films because the technology just wasn't there yet.
- Um, hate to break it to you, but there's something you should know about. Also, even if they did put Venom in the Spider-Man films, it would be totally pointless to make him a robot. He'd pretty much be In Name Only and get a pile the size of China of They Changed It, So It Sucks reactions from fans.
- As much fun as it would be, there are only three sanctums, and none of them in India (they're in Hongkong, London and NYC).
- He will take on the persona of the Master Planner in order to coordinate the formation of the Sinister Six, serving as their leader thanks to Adaptational Intelligence.
- Along with his giant stinger tail, his armor will include two robotic scorpion claws that can extend out and allow him to scale high structures from a distance. This will make him even more of a challenge for Peter, especially since Gargan could be able to use the claws to cut our hero's webs while he swinging.
- He'll be attracted to May if he meets her. When Peter questions why, Gargan will say that she reminds him of his mother who he would never let anybody insult.
- They never say he died, they said aunt May has been through enough (Ben leaving)
- Peter doesn't have nearly enough angst about the situation
- 1) MCU would never do something that drastic especially given how most of the origins in their films hew as close as possible to the classic origins, especially after the Garfield movies earned condemnation for changing the origin too much. Peter without Uncle Ben's death is like Batman without his dead parents. 2) Unlike comics where we have access to captions and thought bubbles to tell us what Peter thinks, a movie cannot do that without using a voice-over, flashback, or dream sequence or Imagine Spot. In the comics, most of the time we see Uncle Ben it's Peter thinking about him or talking to Aunt May. So just because on-screen, Uncle Ben isn't mentioned doesn't mean Peter doesn't have Angst in fact in the way Peter is trying to cling to Tony, you can see a kid casting around for a Replacement Goldfish. 3) Aunt May doesn't mention Ben in the film but in the way she's an attractive single woman who is indifferent to the looks and attention male admirers give her, and the way Peter subtly encourages her to move on, you can tell that she's a widow grieving for her one true love, and so used to a happy marriage that she has closed other people's attention. 4) If you read the early Steve Ditko issues after Amazing Fantasy #15, you find that Peter doesn't initially think too much about Uncle Ben either...read up the first issue where Peter fights the Chameleon.
As demonstrated in this film, he still doesn't quite have his web swinging under control (see: the moment he crashes into a rooftop), and the whereabouts of the NYC sanctum are a plausible place for villains to pop up. Perhaps Peter tries to stop some people breaking into a house, unaware that they're supernatural and so is the house, only for the fight to escalate and Spiderman crashing through the window... right in front of rather surprised Strange.
- Josssed. He meets Strange in Infinity War.
- Jossed.
- Jossed. They're using different villains then the previous film series. Also, why would General Ross want to disband the Avengers if they're following the Sokovia Accords?
- And while working there, trying to get dirt on on the villain of the film in an attempt to help Peter, he'll get too close to the issue and will be framed for the bad guy's crimes, just as Ned Leeds was in the comics (not necessarily only if the villain is Hobgoblin)
- He'll also probably start a relationship with Betty Brant, who's also working there for an internship or something.
- Jossed, though Jameson is similar to the description.
- Then they would have to do a second origin story rather than spin more Spider-Man stories. It defeats the whole point of Homecoming which is to focus entirely on Peter's high-school years. Now given that the powers of the Infinity Stones and Gauntley includes Reality Warper and Time abilities, any potential actions and events can be set to a Reset Button eventually, so Marvel can have their cake and eat it too.
- Jossed. Though Peter dies in Infinity War, he is brought back in Endgame.
- Alternatively, this is in the middle of a Sinister Six operation and Toomes won't have any of that.
- Hopefully they can skip through some of them, as we get mostly villains who've already been done for the next three or so movies.
- Unless skipping is their plan, Jossed; Word of God is no villains who've already been done.
- Jossed. It's called Spider-Man: Far From Home.
- Confirmed regarding Scorpion, as he's completely absent.
- Jossed. His trauma is about Tony's death in Endgame.
- Confirmed by Word of God.
Just kidding!
- Jossed. He does us it on Thanos soldiers.
- Jossed, though he does get some redeeming qualities.
- Jossed. His identity is revealed to the world before Scorpion has a chance to act on it.
- Maybe they could end up being his smaller-scale version of the Avengers, his own super-team of "Guys in the Chairs". Add some of the other Spider-People and the teams all there!
- Cindy will then go on to become Silk, while Abe begins to study martial arts as a reference to his persona from the comics.
- Confirmed for Michelle.
- Jossed.
- Jossed. Gwen never appears in Far From Home.
- Jossed.
- Confirmed in that they're overseas, but Jossed for the rest.
- Jossed. In Far From Home, Ned and Betty get together, become Sickeningly Sweethearts, break up, and become Amicable Exes all in the course of one movie.
- Jossed.
- Jossed; the title is instead Spider-Man: Far From Home.
If J.A.R.V.I.S. is considered "dead" after being uploaded into Vision (who is considered different being entirely), then she's widowed now.
- While in Wakanda, he will be given his lecture/punishment not by playboy millionaire Tony Stark, but rather by KING T'Challa.
- Or potentially worse for him, depending on how the Avengers operate Post-Avengers 4, the entire team will be in Wakanda and chew him out for his recklessness.
- However, when he sneaks out for his final confrontation, Shuri will upgrade his suit, and the fans will rejoice that the two science-teenagers are meeting.
- Jossed.
- According to this report, the original plan was for The Clone Saga to end after six issues. In the end, Peter would happily retire from super-heroics to live with M.J. and raise their child together, while his clone Ben Reilly would take up the Spider-Man mantle. Instead of a clone, another spider-based hero emerges (most likely Miles Morales), Peter acts as a Big Brother Mentor to the new hero, then peacefully retires, placing his trust in his successor. It would bring Peter’s Character Development full circle, going from an aspiring hero under Iron Man’s mentorship to becoming a mentor in his own right. On top of that, it would allow Tom Holland to leave the MCU without Marvel losing one of their most lucrative characters, and give him a proper send-off and Passing the Torch moment.
- Though it’s worth noting that is any of this happens, it would be years down the line, at which point it would make sense to retire Peter Parker.
- Jossed.
- Also, if Ned and Betty do start a relationship (as stated above), her death will cause a rift in Peter and Ned’s friendship, similar to the one between Peter and Harry in the Tobey Maguire films.
- No, this was Jossed. She isn't like Mary Jane.
- He's mentioned in What If…? (2021) though that takes place in another timeline.
