Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

Nah I expect him to be The Dragon probably. Granted to who is the main question .
"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."Technically him and Harry are in a Big Bad Duumvirate of sorts rather then a traditional Big Bad and The Dragon (second in command) type relationship in that film
"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."I'm wondering if they'll go with classic (dude in some kinda weird suit) Rhino, some version of Ultimate Rhino (dude in a mech suit, which is what ASM2 used....to shitty effect) or the tendency for animated adaptations to go with a genetically altered Rhino (like what Ultimate Spider-Man and Marvel's Spider-Man both used) for Rhino.
One Strip! One Strip!Actually, most Spider-Man live action movies, for all intents and purposes, have only one meaningful villain. Only Spider-Man 3 and Amazing Spider-Man 2 truly bucked the trend.
Spider-Man only had Norman. Spider-Man 2 only had Doctor Octopus. Amazing Spider-Man only had the Lizard. Homecoming only really had the Vulture; for all practical purposes both Shockers and Tinkerer were just mooks with fancy weapons. In Far from Home, 'Chameleon' literally only has the comic character's true name and nothing else. Really, seen that way, the single villain narratives have the multiple villain fests beaten 5 to 2.
The Batman franchise is a worse 'offender' in that regard.

The ones that handle multiple villains well have them on the same team or something
All of the villains in Winter Soldier are Hydra, except Batroc
The villains in Spider Man 3 or Amazing 2 have their own separate plots until they’re jammed together for the ending
Forever liveblogging the AvengersGiving them separate tiering instead of treating them all as equals helps.
All five of Winter Soldier's villains play totally different roles based on their hierarchy in the plot. Pierce is the Non-Action Big Bad, the titular character is The Heavy, Brock Rumlow is the tougher-than-average henchman to give the secondary protagonist (Falcon) a final opponent, Zola is a non-action One-Scene Wonder tying the film to the first one, and Batroc is just an action setpiece in the cold open.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Responding to a post earlier on this page, we of course did have a live action film Kingpin, played very well by the late Michael Clarke Duncan. While the movie itself wasn't great, the character was well done.

Given how much they've been trying to bring in villains that haven't been adapted yet, and how Homecoming managed to fit in four comics villains at once (though two of them were two versions of the same supervillain) and set up a fifth, I wouldn't so quickly assume Electro is the sole threat or even the Big Bad.
At this point, all we know is he's in the movie.
