SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME: Another Classic Villain May Have Been Confirmed To Appear In The Movie

@BootyPeep - I always felt that he is an exception because his character works very well when dealing with multiple personalities and tense situations. It really puts his heroism into perspective against other heroes.

@TheManWithoutFear - Thank you, I don't need to post this now.

@BlackBeltJones - Dollars to donuts these C-list villains will only be hallucinations/tricks from Mysterio to slow Spiderman down so he can make his escape.

@SuperManes - I was also thinking this could be the case. While the hardcore fans would be disappointed (looking at you IM3), it could work and might be a fun way to get some screen time for 2nd and 3rd their villains that otherwise never would have made it into a film. I just hope they’re not trying to cram in too much for fear of losing Spider-Man back to Sony if they can’t nego a deal extension. However, I think Sony and Marvel will be able reach common ground and keep him in the MCU beyond the existing agreement.

On a side note, I’m kind of annoyed with all these comments on various articles saying Marvel should or needs to shelve the X-Men for 5 -10 years. That’s just dumb. 1) Disney spent a crap ton of money to acquire Fox. I understand that X-Men and F4 are a small portion of the IPs they gained, but there’s no way they spent so much just to sit on them. 2) The MCU take will be very distinguished from the Fox versions, and will not confuse audiences. Further, Marvel has become such a trusted brand, general audiences will understand Marvel will bring something different to the table, and will not avoid the MCU versions due to burnout from the Fox versions.

I chose this article to make those statements because ASM2 was 2014, only two years later Soider-Man was in Civil War and gen audiences and fans alike were pretty hype about it. Spider-Man HomeComing was only a year later in 2017, and has a sequel coming only two years after that. Homecoming performed very well, much better than ASM2, so there’s no reason to think that the same wouldn’t or couldn’t happen with X-Men. I say 5 years MAX, and mostly due to practical reasons like working out the story to introduce them in the MCU, devising what properties exactly to move with first, and scripts written and othe talent attached. Marvel can move quickly and with high quality execution, and I believe they will with both X-Men and F4.

@Menks123 - since there is talk of all these villains showing up it does "sound like" they are cramming a lot of villains in it. We'll see what they end up going with but right now it "sounds like" a lot.
