Homecoming Who should reboot villain be? (Poll Version)

[blake c]

Now with Daredevil being in the MCU as well, there could definitely be a team up movie between Spidey amd him. They both have a common enemy; Kingpin

 

[hippie_hunter]

Yeah, but The Dark Knight had Batman Begins to proceed it. This is MCU Spider-Man 1. But, I understand what you're saying. But, it's part of the reason I'd love this to be a Netflix show, where you can start at the beginning and really develop the supporting cast and intro the wide variety of villains in Spidey's rogue's gallery.

Spider-Man would work great as a TV show. But that ain't gonna happen. But since MCU Spider-Man is not going to have an origin, but deal with a still relatively inexperienced Spider-Man, I think it would be best to show both sides by showing that he is still a newbie, but is having an impact for about the year or so he's been Spider-Man. We're not getting another origin film, and we shouldn't.

I just feel it takes away the uniqueness of Pete.

There's really nothing unique about Spider-Man's power set anymore. Between Venom, Miles Morales, Silk, Spider-Gwen, Spider-Man 2099, etc., what makes Peter stand out is his character, not his powers.

 

[SuperSanchez]

Kingpin shouldn't come into play yet, Spider-Man should battle with a few villains then later we find out Kingpin is the one pulling the strings and ordering the villains such as shocker and mysterio, to fight spidey!

 

[SuperSanchez]

When it comes to looks alone, I think Billy Bob Thornton can pull off the old school Quentin Beck look haha:

Not saying he should play Mysterio haha, just think the similarity is pretty striking! :P

I think he would be a good dock ock

 

[ironwez20]

Shocker is the best first time villian I can think of or scorpion . One is a low tier criminal but can still pose a threat and the other is the first superpowered villian spidey fought that was stronger then him. I'd say introduce them but mysterio could also be used to as a two bit criminal turned big time.

 

[blake c]

I would like to see shocker. He'd be a breath of fresh air imo.

 

[Frodo]

I think the Sinister Six works right off the bat because we should have a Spidey that has at least a year under his belt in his first solo movie. Kinda like how the Dark Knight showed that after time, the results of Batman forced the various criminal gangs to work together, the results of Spider-Man have brought various criminals of uncommon backgrounds to work together.
.

I also think you could start the series off with the Sinister Six. At the very least, it establishes that this Spiderman and has already accumulated enough foes that it comes back to bite him at point when he's not ready to take on that kind of challenge.

 

[Grievous]

I voted Mysterio because he is one of my favorite Spidey villains. Plus I really want to see the green smoke and special effects style combat transferred to the big screen.

It would be a fresh breath to have a villain that doesn't rely on overpowering Spider-Man with brute force to defeat him.

 

[Venom75]

I'd like to see someone new. Scorpion,Mysterio and Shocker are my top picks. Save any and all Goblin characters and story for part 2,at the very least. Although I'd love to see Eddie Brock introduced in the first film,and slowly have his hatred for Peter/Spider-man build over a few films.

 

[ernesth100]

Have Spicey battling street level villains like Tombstone, Hammerhead, and their goons. Then have him face off against Mysterio in the final act.

I think it could be a good idea for Sony as a business to have two simultaneous Spider-Man film series that work together.

David Koepp (writer for the first Sam Raimi Spider-Man film) had proposed that very idea.

“When I was doing Spider-Man the first time, I remember distinctly having thoughts about three movies, each of a different kind. The way the comic book lines switched, it was ‘Spider-Man,’ ‘Amazing Spider-Man,’ ‘Spectacular Spider-Man’… there were a number of them.

“So rather than try to pursue the same course - or any kind of similar tone – you’d have strikingly different tones. The classic ‘Spider-Man,’ that would be the top-of-the-line, studio Sam Raimi ones, then the ‘Amazing Spider-Man’ ones, they’d be done for $75-80 million, and have a rougher, edgier, almost R-rated feel to them – if not R-rated, though I don’t think they could ever bring themselves to do that. Tougher, nastier, a rougher look… shorter movies. I don’t like superhero bloat personally.

“And these series didn’t have to be consecutive, they could be released concurrently. Then I also thought there should be a ‘Spectacular Spider-Man’ series, because Spider-Man leaves out a large group of its audience. Little kids are fascinated by Spider-Man by the time they are three, or younger. But when I was a kid, I loved the animated series, so I always thought there should be separate lines to cater for different ages of Spider-Man fans.”

Mysterio is beating the crap out of that poll. When did he become so famous?

 

[spiderman2]

I think it is more that people want to see villains that have not been used first and fell like goblin has been over used and needs a rest. Also people fell like kravens last hunt would be great but not for a first movie and really most of the good villains have already been used so if you are going to use a good villain that has not been used there are not many left and mysterio is one of the better villains that has not been used yet.

 

[Doctor Octopus]

Mysterio is favourite because we have seen most of other great villains in movie already. Fans want someone not seen before I think.

 

[Daedalus]

Agreed. And Mysterio can also be a very cinematic villain, since he deals with illusions. They can basically use him to project any nice visual they think of at us.

 

[Rorschach2012]

We need to see MCU versions of Doc Ock, Green Goblin and Venom eventually.

But for the reboot, I feel they should use one of the above villains along with one that hasn't been used before

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

Doc Ock, Kraven, Mysterio.

Those are the 3 villains they should use in the new series.

Which would be Awesome to see on 3D.

Never, ever, Venom. I'm with Brian Bendis and Sam Raimi. Venom is a weak character that reeks of late 80s/early 90s sensibilities of style over substance. I'd much rather see Ned Leeds as the Hobgoblin: he has nearly the same dynamic in terms of being Peter's rival as reporter and costumed figure. However, Leeds has infinitely greater narrative depth. Eddie has a highly irrational disdain for Peter Parker, and that is his sole motivation. Not that you can't have a character purely driven by vengeance, but Brock's justification for vengeance is pure crap, which makes him an uninteresting figure. This is why Raimi wanted to avoid him and why Bendis did his best to keep Venom's exposure brief in the Ultimate series.

 

[ernesth100]

Oh Venom's happening alright. Because with Venom comes Carnage, The Black Suit Arc, Agent Venom(which in my opinion is literally the best thing to come out of Venom's creation), Toxin, and Planet of the Symbiotes. Sony and Marvel would never pass up a chance for all of that.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Venom is DEFINITELY happening, along with Norman Goblin and Doc Ock

 

[The Joker]

That's one villain you and I are 100% on the same page about

 

[TheWallCrawler]

I'd understand if the problem was that having Venom would feel like retread, but why can't they rewrite the character so that it's a lot better? Let's be honest, any Spider-man villain would have to be rewritten to some extent so it fits in a movie. So why is doing that with Venom so wrong?

Honestly, you don't have to change it that much to make it compelling. In my proposed version, Brock is his traditional, mean, "buck-passing" self. He gets fired from The Bugle when Peter reveals he exposed the wrong person as Hobgoblin, and follows Spiderman into action to try to save his job. He gets in trouble and Spiderman, influenced by the symbiote, refuses to save him. After the movie, he bonds with the symbiote and, upon being told that Peter and Spiderman (his two "biggest enemies") are one and the same, is used by the Hobgoblin to make Peter's life hell.
