Spider-Man: No Way Home

Marvel Studios is impart Jamie Foxx ’s Electro   into the Marvel Cinematic Universe , but what other characters from previousSpider - Manmovies could be next ? Spider - Man has only been part of the MCU for the last few years afterDisney and Sony agree to a deal to apportion the web - slinger .   Before Tom Holland ’s Spidey debut , Sony made two differentSpider - Manfranchises that appeared to be severed from what was happening now .

However , Marvel Studios and Sony ’s partnership has recently present the ability to force from the past . Spider - Man : Far From Homeincluded the surprise cameo of J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson , who he played throughout Sam Raimi ’s originalSpider - Mantrilogy . Even though it is the same player in a conversant role , the MCU reimagined JJJ as an Alex Jones - type extremist / theorist in charge of a website . It has now been report that Marvel isbringing back Jamie Foxx as Electro inSpider - Man : Homecoming 3 . It is n’t corroborate if it will be as the same Electro who was the main villain inThe Amazing Spider - Man 2 , a interlingual rendition from another universe , or a new one created in the MCU .

Even without the details of Electro ’s return in the MCU , the fact that he is another actor / character jazz band from pastSpider - Manmovies to return is notable . Bringing back Simmons as Jameson made sense since he became synonymous with the character , but it would ’ve been easy for Marvel to cast someone else as Electro after the mixed response to Foxx ’s past depiction . Now that he is coming back as the same character , Marvel and Sony could extend to pull from the past and bring moreSpider - Manmovie characters to the MCU .

Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man

If moreSpider - Mancharacters are going to fall back , Tobey Maguire ’s Spider - Manshould be the top anteriority for the studios . It ’s been nearly two decades since Maguire first play Peter Parker and help make a fix   movie superhero for an intact multiplication . Spider - ManandSpider - Man 2are still some of the best comic book movies ever made , butSpider - humans 3wasn’t a perfect conclusion . Maguire could now return as a much older Spider - Man who is retired or approaching that determination . There would be the power to tease apart year of retiring adventures that he ’s had , which could put up solution to what happened afterSpider - Man 3 . Plus , Maguire ’s Spidey would   have   a chance to write the world or multiverse in what could hopefully be a skillful swan Song dynasty for him .

Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man

Marvel and Sony could also now look atbringing Andrew Garfield ’s Spider - Man backtoo . He star in bothThe Amazing Spider - Manmovies , but his clip under the mask was trend curt in purchase order to reboot Spider - Man in the MCU . This conclusion was made in the main due toThe Amazing Spider - Man 2falling inadequate of Sony ’s prospect for the film ’s box office . However , Garfield was a great Spider - Man and did n’t get the opportunity to complete the planned trilogy . With Electro join the fray inSpider - Man : Homecoming 3 , perhaps Garfield wo n’t be too far behind .

Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock

Since Marvel Studios and Sony are presently lend back a pastSpider - Manvillain , this could be a probability for Aldred Molina to return as Doc Ock . For many , Molina ’s Doc Ock fromSpider - Man 2is among the dear amusing book movie baddie of all time .   His performance and the grapheme design were great , but he only got to be in one picture due to Doc Ock drop dead at the close ofSpider - Man 2 . However , another rendering of him could come back inSpider - Man : Homecoming 3or another MCU property , such as re - teaming with film director Sam Raimi onDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness .

Emma Stone as Spider-Gwen

The possibility of the MCU also set aside some characters from pastSpider - Manmovies to pass with a twist . Emma Stone was part of theAmazing Spider - Manfranchise , where she play Gwen Stacy   as the independent love involvement for Garfield ’s Peter Parker . rather of the two of them get to live happily ever after , The Amazing Spider - Man 2adapted the dying of Gwenfrom the comedian . Stone has become one of Hollywood ’s heavy star since then and it would be a wasteland not to see her issue in the same mental ability . gratefully , Gwen Stacy has been reinvented in the comics in late years as Spider - Gwen , a rendering of Gwen who was bitten by a radioactive wanderer and accidentally obliterate her Earth ’s Peter Parker after becoming The Lizard . The illusion of the multiverse could allow Stone to play an adult version of Spider - Gwen .

Tom Hardy’s Venom

Marvel and Sony do n’t have to go too far back to find the full inclination of characters to institute to the MCU , as Tom Hardy ’s Venom has to be considered . Despite the mixed reception toVenom , the movie was a huge hit financially . There was already some muddiness about whether or notVenomwas tie to the MCU , as producer Amy Pascal say it was MCU - adjacent , and there continue to be grumble that Holland ’s Spider - Man could appear inVenom : Let There Be Carnage . It might only be a matter of time beforeHardy ’s Venom officially get together the MCU .

Willem Dafoe’s Norman Osborn

Willem Dafoe could also return as Norman Osborn aka Green Goblin . In the firstSpider - Man , Dafoe excel bringing the crazy out of Norman Osborn . Despite him die at the end of the film , he still returned for cameos in the next two films . The MCU   has n’t done anything with Norman Osborn yet , but he could be a villain who has a role that lasts a decennary . While it is improbable Dafoe   would return as the maniac man of affairs   for such a consignment , he could still be brought back in some electrical capacity .

Felicity Jones' Black Cat

The MCU could attempt to make good on the potential that existed with Felicity Jones being honk as Felicia Hardy . Jones had yet to breakout by the time she played Felicia inThe Amazing Spider - Man 2 , but that quickly changed . After an Oscar nomination and lead blockbusters likeRogue One : A Star Wars Story , the MCU could giveJones   the chance she want to play Black Cat again . She got nothing to do inThe Amazing Spider - Man 2and could in the end show what she could bring to the role in a replication . And since Sony still desire to make a   Black Cat solo movie , perhaps this could even help oneself make that possible .

Thomas Haden Church’s Sandman

As one of the few bright spot ofSpider - Man 3 , Thomas Haden Church should regress to the MCU as Sandman . His story was make out by the oddment of his lone appearance , but the multiverse opens up some challenging possibleness . church service could return as the same Sandman seen before and show what happened to him afterSpider - Man 3 , or he could appear as a new version of the character . The MCU in all likelihood does n’t need to borrow from his preceding persona too much , but it would be interesting if Sandman also had ties toUncle Ben ’s death in the MCU . Perhaps then Uncle Ben will finally be address .

Bruce Campbell’s Mystery Character

Marvel and Sony do n’t just have to peck from the main character of pastSpider - Manmovies either , and perhaps this will intend that the MCU could shed Inner Light on Bruce Campbell ’s part in the original trilogy . Campbell is a longtime collaborator of Sam Raimi ’s and appeared in unlike purpose in all three of hisSpider - Manfilms . Rumor has it that Raimi ’s plans forSpider - Man 4included a reveal that Campbell was Mysterio . Since such a reveal never happened , the MCU could bring Campbell back in some content and mayhap leave some long - wait answers .
