After making his first - seemingly his last live-action appearance in Spider-Man: Homecoming, nearly 6-years ago, it appears Mac Gargan, will at long last finally reappear as the classic Spider-Man villain Scorpion.

This report comes from a reliable source @MyTimeToShineHello, for they keep a vague report teasing the character's imminent return:

Played by Michael Mando, the last we saw of this character was amid his captivity in Spider-Man: Homecoming; discussing plans with Michael Keaton's Adrian Toomes to gather a group of "his boys" from the outside to take care of the webhead once and for all.

With Spider-Man 4 on the horizon, it is looking we will at the very least see Mac Gargan take matters into his own hands in going head-to-head with Spider-Man, and perhaps even assemble a couple of "his boys" to form a preamble to the iconic Sinister Six group, who we could see him facing off against later.

However, though the report does not specifically indicate the character returning in Spider-Man 4, there could be a chance he first makes an appearance in Daredevil: Born Again, where Wilson Fisk's Kingpin hires the Private Investigator to pursue the likes of Daredevil, and possibly other vigilantes in the wake of enacting his ant-vigilante law as the mayor of New York, that may lead Spider-Man 4. 

As of right now though, no news on Spider-Man 4's script or development have been released, but we will keep you updated on the matter.

Would you want to see Michael Mando's Mac Gargan finally suit up as the Scorpion for the very first time in Spider-Man 4?

Spider-Man 4 currently does not have an official release date scheduled - due to the Hollywood Strike, development on the film as well has been halted indefinitely. 

Spider-Man: Homecoming is a 2017 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man, co-produced by Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios, and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing. It is the second Spider-Man film reboot and the 16th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The film was directed by Jon Watts from a screenplay by the writing teams of Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, Watts and Christopher Ford, and Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers.

Tom Holland stars as Peter Parker / Spider-Man, alongside Michael Keaton, Jon Favreau, Gwyneth Paltrow, Zendaya, Donald Glover, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Bokeem Woodbine, Tyne Daly, Marisa Tomei, and Robert Downey Jr.

Can someone make a spreadsheet of all of this dude’s scoops so we can see how accurate he actually is? That would help make the constant articles more entertaining.

I would love to see him recruited by Kingpin.

That said, he'll probably show up at the post credits scene of Kraven or something stupid like that.

Gotta hand it to Spiderman films. They do a better job of representing his rouges vs all other CBM movies.

@PlusUltra - I'll play, with the argument being representing them similarly to their comic counterparts and not just being there. I guess in photo order.

They turned Rha's ah Ghul and tahlia a ghul both have the same problem, and for a website whose whole existence seems to be complaining about race swapping lately, for some reason no one has a problem with Neeson or Cotillard not being arabic. I'll allow you all to draw your own conclusions as to why that is.

Bane basically isn't true to any comic counterpart, and again, let's get an English dude instead of a latino (one of the reasons he even has a luchador masks in the comics, and not because of some weird breathing thing)

Scarecrow was decent, until the third movie which was just absurd.

Joker is obviously perfect character, but he's Ledgers and Nolan's Joker, not the comics joker. The comics would go on to make Ledger like versions after Ledgers performance, but I can't think of any Ledger like Jokers before this movie.

Dent is a FANTASTIC Harvey Dent, but ends up going full blown Two face far two quickly. We all knew he was going to turn into Two Face by the end of the movie, but at the very least him going full blown crazy should've been saved for a third movie. It felt rushed in a movie we all knew was the Joker's. I don't want to get intoa whole discussion about this but the movie still couldve been called the Dark Knight and have the whole "hero it needs not hero it deserves" messaging without killing Dent and Batman taking the heat for his crimes. I also wasn't crazy about the design. He looked like one of the martians from "Mars Attacks"

I love Anne Hathaway. I do not love her Catwoman.

I'm not saying Spiderman is perfect, for example Rhino and electro in amazing spiderman 2 were both terrible, venom in 3 is atrocious, etc etc, but overall, they are much closer to the material, where Nolan made them his own. WHICH IS FINE. I have no problem with directors having their own visions and versions of the characters. This was all just a conversation about representing them held up to their comic counterparts.

@PlusUltra - Yup Batman too, I agree. But Joker performances stand out so much that it sort of unfairly dilutes all the others. For the most part, all the other Supes vs. their doppelganger of sort.

@SATW42 - Most of Spidey’s on screen villains weren’t comic accurate either. Ock wasn’t. Venom wasn’t. Neither was Vulture, Electro, Mysterio, or either Harry Goblin’s. These Spidey directors took as much creative liberty as Nolan, and for the most part it worked, just like it did with Nolan. Maybe just not as well.

@PlusUltra - I knew you would say that. but compare to nolan's rogue gallery they only exist on nolan's universe. (as much as i love nolan's trilogy it wasn't comic accurate) unlike spidey's rogue gallery thanks to the multiverse they can all exist in every spidey universe. are they comic accurate? hell no.

@dragon316 - add to what list? The list I made was about Nolan characters, and OP was talking about spider-man villains. Neither of which are covered by your random toss ins?

Plot twist: he becomes MCU!Venom.

Now I want to hear a demonic version of Vaas’s “definition of insanity” speech.

@asherman93 - I think this is the way to go. Otherwise it feels like just another villain of the week for Spidey. It happened in the comics

@Vigor - ...Mac gargan was a total jobber as venom. Him being venom will turn venom into a villain of the week.

would love to see a suited up scorpion hunting for spiderman. assuming it will be tech based just like vulture and mysterio, which isnt a bad thing. He is one of my favorite spidey villians so seeing his live action debut is long overdue

I mean, it'd be cool if this was true, but no one's being cast in anything produced by a big studio right now because of the strikes. So unless this deal was done pre-strikes and the news is just leaking now, then this "scoop" is just a b.s. rumour. Also find it kinda coincidental this is being reported just a couple of days after a fan poster featuring Michael Mando's name started doing the rounds.

@AC1 - I mean, we have no idea what kind of contract he signed for Homecoming, so if it was more than a 1 picture deal, he hasn't met that obligation yet. And the way Marvel and Sony were doing things, and he didn't show up until a post credit scene, I think it's fair to say his contract was for more than one appearance.

I'm not defending the rumor, just saying it's entirely possible someone just found out, or assumed like I just did, that he signed on for more than one appearance and boom "scorpion will return!"
AC1
AC1 - 9/11/2023, 5:58 PM
@SATW42 - That's true, could very well have been a multi picture deal and it more than likely was, but I'm pretty sure the parties involved still need to come to an agreement to confirm the reprisal (like Sony would still have to contact the actor and the actor's agent to work out details like scheduling and such) so if it is true it would have to be something that was decided prior to the strikes and then the news just happened to leak
