RUMOR: Details On SPIDER-MAN Villains

As we get closer to 2017, more rumors are bound to come out regarding the 2017 reboot of the Spider-Man franchise. While many have been curious as to which villains will be included, one Reddit user has seemingly got the inside track.

Now keep in mind that this is not official, so please to take this rumor with a grain of salt.

Full Spoilers Ahead!

The following was posted by the user on the MCU sub-reddit:

I saw Devin Faraci's tweet about the villains for the upcoming Spider-Man. I have some information about the villains. Do keep in mind that Devin and my sources don't know much as the script is still being worked on and will likely still be worked on, so you should never expect these things as final until official word comes out.

The main villain will actually be Norman Osborn with J. Jonah Jameson and Scorpion also being featured. The film will have him declaring Spider-Man a public menace and placing a very public bounty on his head. The bounty draws out various criminals. Many of these criminals will not become the villains they become, but we will see Sandman, Electro, and even Mysterio before they become villains. Jonah hires Mac Gargan, who is not Scorpion yet but rather a PI.

During a tailing of Spider-Man, Gargan starts to learn more about Spider-Man and gets close to finding out who he is. However we find out Spider-Man knew all along. He finds out Jonah hired him and webs Gargan to the outside of the Daily Bugle, mocking both Jonah and Gargan. Both have a massive ego and are driven by this to defeat and expose Spider-Man.

Norman Osborn, who believes Spider-Man is his property and wants Spider-Man back; sees on the news of Gargan's defeat. He pulls up Gargan's medical records and deems him fit for his program. He offers to enhance Gargan with what is the Scorpion armor and formula. Norman, Jonah, and Gargan agree to take down Spider-Man.

Mac becomes Scorpion and is commanded by Jonah and Osborn to bring Spider-Man to them. At this point, Scorpion becomes the primary villain He nearly defeats Spider-Man once at Mid-Town High School, but Spider-Man escapes, the second time Gargan defeats Spider-Man and brings him to Osborn and Jonah.

Jonah simply wants to expose Spider-Man, but sees that Osborn and Gargan plan on testing on Spider-Man/Peter and find out why he was a success so Osborn can create super powered villains to sell to HYDRA. Realizing that Spider-Man is a force for good, Jonah frees him and they both escape. Once Peter is awake he takes Jonah back to the Daily Bugle.

Final fight is at Daily Bugle as Scorpion has been enhanced further by Osborn is now insane and simply wants to kill Spider-Man and Jonah. Spider-Man defeats Scorpion.

The film ends with Norman wanting to proceed with using a formula, but as word has gotten out about Scorpion, he is only able to test the formula on himself.


Sounds realistic enough that the first film would set up quite a few villains. As many will point out, the TASM series also set up villains and a proposed Sinister Six film that never happened; so it's hard to say why or if Marvel would tread the same ground.

This is almost the same plot as TASM2.

About that rumor, though...

@Spock0Clock I don't buy Odenkirk as Jonah. Even when he's being a dick he comes off as so insincere. Need to buy someone as being a real asshole.

This is quite literally smashing together Ultimate Norman Osborn with the Scorpion episode from the 90's Spider-Man animated series.

It's fun to speculate but I don't think this is true.

Well, I think this seems to have just got taken down from Reddit so this could be legit after all, despite the source.

Sounds really fake, but Scorpion would be a good choice for a villain. I don't think Jonah will appears anytime soon, because this is Spidey is he's early days.

Love to hate J. Jonah. Scorpion could have some really badass visuals. Would've preferred two Goblins, though.
JamesMann
JamesMann - 12/6/2015, 5:05 PM
And now the source is gone which might mean this could be possibly MAYBE just a tad true.

@JamesMann is right. It's worth noting that on the MCU sub-reddit they only typically take down articles that are legitimate; they usually leave up BS articles. Doesn't by any stretch legitimize this, but it does add a bit to the story hmm.

It isn't the direction I'd want, but i do like how Scorpion will be in it. I just wish Norman was working with Kingpin. Seeing Kingpin in a Spidey film is what I've been wanting to see forever and hope some day it'll happen.

Sounds okay to me. I mean it sounds similar to the 90s cartoon episode up until about id say the second half from here. Besides, the raimi trilogy took a lot from the 90s cartoon, would I rather see Mysterio instead of Scorpion? Sure, but as a first plot I can get behind this. And no people this is not the same plot as TASM 2, not even [frick]ing close.

This sounds pretty cool, I like Scorpion as a physical villain and Osborn pulling the strings in the first movie sounds right too.
