Spider-Man: Far From Home featured unique new takes on classic comic book villains like Hydro-Man and Molten Man, but the "Elementals" weren't actually real and the sequel confirmed that Morris Bench (the real Hydro-Man) does exist. Now, concept artist Jerad S. Marantz has shared a unique take on a version of Sandman who was once set to appear in the movie.
"I loved sketching on this show," he says.
"I got to bounce between [Photoshop] and [Zbrush] a lot. It’s a great way to work. I love working in 3-D, but it’s not the best way to crank out a lot of ideas in a short amount of time. Nothing beats [drawing] and [painting] in terms of exploration."
A live-action version of Sandman was introduced in
Spider-Man 3, and while Marvel Studios is clearly prioritising bad guys the wall-crawler hasn't faced before now, he's definitely someone who deserves more than a "cameo" as one of Mysterio's illusions.
The next
Spider-Man movie is set to start shooting this summer so it shouldn't be too long until we find out who Peter Parker will battle next. Right now, the prevailing theory is that Kraven the Hunter will arrive in New York City to try and take down the man who killed the heroic Quentin Beck!
