SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING Star Michael Mando Comments On A Possible Return As Mac Gargan In SPIDER-MAN 3

During a recent Reddit AMA, Spider-Man: Homecoming star Michael Mando was asked about the possibility of reprising the role of Mac Gargan in 2021's Spider-Man 3, and his answer was definitely noteworthy...

In Spider-Man: Homecoming, The Vulture was the movie's main villain, but we also got to spend some time with bad guys like Shocker and The Tinkerer. Mac Gargan was also introduced, but his screentime was limited, and he didn't seem to have a huge amount in common with his comic book counterpart.

There are ways to retcon that, of course, including the reveal that he was an undercover investigator or something similar (the comic book version of the villain was a P.I. before becoming Scorpion). 

Regardless, with a mid-credits scene which saw him attempting to discover Spider-Man secret identity, you have to believe Mac Gargan will have something to say now it's been outed to the world. During a recent Reddit AMA, actor Michael Mando was asked about the possibility of appearing in next year's Spider-Man 3, and it definitely sounds like he's hoping that will happen. 

"I love [Spider-Man] and I love that whole team," he responded. "Who knows, I keep hearing things but I can't confirm or deny anything...yet. Stay tuned." Well, that's certainly an intriguing response!

It would be crazy for Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios not to do something with Mando's Scorpion, especially when he's such a great actor. We'll have to wait and see, though, as it's looking likely that Spider-Man 3 will be delayed as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. 

Are you anxious to see more of the Scorpion?

I agree they should find a way to address his after credits scene now that Peter has been outed to the whole world.

They better pay off that ending of Homecoming. We pretty much already have a possible Sinister 6.

We have Scorpion, Vulture, Shocker, Prowler, Mysterio (Christmas Story actor taking over the role), and Chameleon (the Shield agent looking after the kids in Far From Home. Just make him a Skrull who goes bad).

Obviously, Prowler and probably Vulture would turn on them and team with Spidey in the end.

@Magus - What do you mean Christmas story actor taking over the role?

@KnifeWasTooSlow - The scientist with glasses from who was yelled at by Stane in Iron Man was Mysterio's right hand man in Far From Home and at the end of the film after Quintin dies he gets away with his hardrive of all his technology.

I believe this is setting the actor who played the boy from A Christmas Story to be the new Mysterio.

Kraven and Scorpion. How hard is that Marvel / Sony?

Vulture, Scorpion, Sandman, Doc Ock, Lizard and Rhino...make for the most visually interesting team. Add Prowler and Chameleon later and call it Sinister 6.2.

@KWilly - Hopefully JJJ and Daily Bugle.Net will help fund the process of Gargan becoming Scorpion.
