I'm guessing it's Mysterio. I was hoping that Michael Mando would return as Scorpion, though.

You COULD argue that Martin Starrs character became a teacher after 8 years.. he looks like the same guy at least. The haddock thing is weird, as well as Alfre Woodard being in CIVIL WAR and LUKE CAGE.I'm not upset that Damon passed on it. It would make his cameo in Ragnarok confusing as hell. Yes, I know actors have played multiple roles in the MCU before, but they've only been minor parts. Like Laura Haddock playing the starstruck Captain America fan and Meredith Quill, or Martin Starr playing a college student in The Incredible Hulk and Peter's debate teacher in Homecoming.
He could return, but if for some reason they expand Scorpion's role to be the main villain in a Spider-Man sequel (unlikely), they'd probably recast him with a bigger name.

Given they were trying to cast Matt Damon, I'm trying to think what villain he would have been...
Kenneth Choi, who played Jim Morita in TFA, also played Peter's school principle in Homecoming as well.

This. Its stuff like this that make it work. The Martin Starr one needs a bit more validity but Im willing to bet hes supposed to be the same guy from TIH.Well that was on purpose. He played Principal Morita, Jim's grandson, in Homecoming and had pictures of the Howling Commandos in his office.

I knew Matt Damon wasn't considered for Mysterio. To the supporters of that idea, have you seen any of Matt Damon's movies, and have you read/seen any depictions of Mysterio? He makes zero sense for that role.
Not surprised that he was considered for Smythe, that makes way more sense.
I'm guessing Smythe, Scorpion and the Spider-Slayers are our villains! Can't say I'm that hyped if true.
Edit: wait did I get fooled? This would be the third time I've been fooled today![]()

The Scorpion would be cool, but I'd honestly be underwhelmed if Smythe and the Spider-Slayers turned out to be the villains myself. I've just never cared for them as far as Spider-Man villains go.
