When Tom Holland's Peter Parker swings his way into the first Spider-Man movie set in Marvel Cinematic Universe, we'll the Web Slinger take on classic villains like Vulture and Shocker. While it seems like we won't be getting fan-favorites Venom or Carnage in the MCU anytime soon — especially moreso even now that Sony is developing a standalone Venom film — Spider-Man: Homecoming director Jon Watts took a moment to share some of the villains there's not the slightest chance of seeing in future Spider-Man films.
"Yeah, we have some ideas of who could fit in in an interesting way, but we're just trying to build Spider-Man's side of the world in a rich way that could organically lead to some of that great rogue's gallery," Watts told Screen Rant in a recent interview. "Not Jackson Wheel, you guys know Jackson Wheel? He's like one of the silliest of all villains. His name is Jackson Wheel and he becomes Big Wheel and he rides around in a giant wheel."
Watts went on to prove he has a decent amount of knowledge about Spidey's nemesis through the years, going on to name a few more villains.
"There's another guy named Gideon Mace. It's hard to get, except for digital copies, some years, there's some real, real classic villains. Will-O'-The-Wisp," said Watts. "Gideon Mace, he has an arm that's a mace that also shoots mace. You just imagine the writers just cracking up. 'We're late for our deadline, uhhh…Gideon Mace.' It's so fun."
A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging super hero in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.). Peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine – distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man – but when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened.
The cast features Tom Holland, Michael Keaton, Robert Downey Jr., Zendaya, Donald Glover, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Tyne Daly, Bokeem Woodbine, Logan Marshall-Green, and Marisa Tomei.
The film is being directed by Jon Watts (Cop Car), based on a screenplay by Jonathan Goldstein & John Francis Daley (Vacation reboot) and Jon Watts & Christopher Ford and Chris McKenna & Erik Sommers.
