Homecoming Who should be the Villain in Spider-Man (2017)?

It could be as simple as spidey holding back since he knows he's more powerful than most of these guys. Throwing a full power punch could probably cause brain damage or death. So Fisk being more durable and strong can surprise Peter enough to get temporarily overpowered and actually hurt.
 
And being being an inexperienced fighter or he thinks he can't be stopped could easily be surprised by Vicent Fisk.
 
I'm bored with Spider-Man dealing with beings in costumes.

Bring on some issues like organized criminals. Heck the villain should be Fisk, Kingpin, who's extremely intelligent while powerful at the same time. A villain who doesn't need to rely on his strength to defeat heroes and instead most of the time uses his intelligence.

:up:


I'm not so much bored with costume villains, as I am, with they way these villains are being used.
 
I've said before that Spider-Man should start with organized criminals (Hammerhead, Tombstone, Silvermane, or the Kingpin), but finish with someone a bit more superpowered by the end. These villains are significantly high enough in stakes to show Spider-Man isn't just getting started (it isn't him simply webbing up muggers in an alley), but it shows he hasn't quite reached the big leagues yet either.
 
Ya I dont think they wouldn't used the big costumed badd8ed. Yes I love the mob guys scene but they shouldn't be the main threat he deals with.
 
I've always had an idea where Shocker worked for Kingpin.

Also had an idea where Rhino, before he became Rhino, & Flint Marko are bodyguards for Fisk.

You've watched Spectacular Spider-Man too?
 
Personally I rather not have everyone connected to each other so soon. Now yes shocker, rhino type guys are more hired goons types. Which is what I expect. But guys like mysterio, vulture, kraven, scorpion should first be on there own foes. Then after defeats at spidey hands slowly build to them all getting locked up at rikers or ravencraft and they then decide to work together to get revenge in the spider.
 
Green Goblin, Doc Ock and The Lizard are by far the best and I hope that this new Spiderman will re-introduce them, by not right away.

Norman Osbourne and Curt Connors should appear as supporting characters that expand as the series progresses that eventually lead them becoming the classic villains.

I think that plenty of time has passed since Molina played Ock, that the character could return.

I wouldn't mind there being a second villain. The movie could start Indy/Bond style with the end of a previous adventure against another villain or something more original like Parker has contend with threats from two villains - who do not team up against him - while dealing with the whole high school/teenage thing. He could defeat one villain mid way through the story.

I've always liked the design of the Hobgoblin but he is too much like Green Goblin. Chameleon and Mysterio could be good choices because their abilities are so different to Spiderman.

Hobgoblin is honestly nothing like the versions of Green Goblin we've seen on screen. His whole schtick is contrary to the super villain revenge schemes plotted by Norman and Harry. He sets out to take over the NYC Underworld using just his wits and some high tech gadgets. And he is VERY, VERY good at it. The mystery of his identity could make a great trilogy long subplot.

Well in Norman's early days he was out to take over the underworld, too. But it's not a plot commonly associated with Green Goblin. Although the Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon did touch on it.

I didn't mean that he was a carbon copy, but rather the name, the glider, the bombs, etc. And he does look very similar to the Green Goblin of the comics and the metallic movie version. If Osbourne and Green Goblin are going to be a part of this new series then Hobgoblin is just too much like him, regardless of goals and motivations.

I know, I was just referencing the movies.

I'm not suggesting that Norman and Kingsley both be Goblins at the same time. I'm suggesting they use Kingsley INSTEAD of Norman, and maybe have him only adapt his persona after Kingsley is beat, maybe for the Thunderbolts. It's very easy to stylize them differently. Norman should be very sleek and futuristic, more heroic looking. Kingsley should be very grounded, down to Earth, creepy.

For me I said it before there is no reason we can't have norman and curt and Eddie for example in minor supporting films for awhile. Build them up and later on ser then turn to evil side in 3rd film or some other phase 4 film or something.

We already know per kevin comments we will be seeing fresh villains. As the main threats for I figure last least the first two solos. So again I dont see harm in minor bit parts for some.

Like eddie as a background bugle reporter. And we see he is a ass. And not the most trusty or reliable reporter. And his growing hate at some punk kid parker getting the good work.

Conners we could do something like tssm and peter maybe has an internship with him. Or taking some advance pre collage class or something.

Norman easy we see growing oscorp and develop his bad relationship with harry. And his growing admiration towards peter.

I could get behind this. Honestly, I'd be fine if they just drop Norman entirely. Doing a continuing plot where the overarching bad guy is a genuine mystery? That's something no super hero movie has yet tried. It would just require some care to introduce several possible candidates across multiple movies, without either tipping their hand too obviously or playing unfair with the clues.
 
Save the Goblin for the third film. That will give us the next 5 or 6 years to get the previous 2 out of the GA's head. We've had two iterations already in the past 13 years. Spidey has a huge selection of villains to chose from, I hope they realize that.

I do want Norman active in this trilogy though, along with the rest of the MCU. Just don't have him suit up until the end.
 
Go with Nolan Batman series formula (one or two minor villains and one main). Marvel has a great chance here at demonstrating the diversity of Spidey's rogue gallery. He's the only hero second to Batman that has such a recognizable/likable assortment of villains. Since Kevin expressed wanting to use villains we have yet to see onscreen, I'd like to see Hammerhead and Tombstone as associates or rivals to Kingpin's empire, and Shocker or Vulture as the main baddie.
 
Marvel really needs to step it up with their villains. The entire MCU has 2 that are memorable in my eyes, which is embarrassing considering the amount of movies. Thanos doesn't count BTW, I was thinking Loki and the Winter Soldier. The rest have been "meh" all around.

Spider-Man is a good way to change that pace.
 
I thought Ronan the Accuser was a damn good villain.
 
Marvel overall make great movies, but a big weak spot is the villains. Most of the memorable Marvel comic based villains that have been done have not been done by Marvel studios - Magneto, Doc Ock, Green Goblin (Dafoe), Stryker etc.

It's one area where I hope they up their game on with Spidey's movies.
 
I would have mixed feelings if they gave him lion DNA:
latest



Honestly, it could be kinda alright if they did it right, but I'm not too crazy about it.
 
Nah I'd rather he stay human and just get potions from calypso
