For our next installment; Spider-Man. Or should I say 'Spider-Men'? More on that in a second...
Sony Pictures has announced that they plan to release either a preview or a teaser trailer for Tom Holland's Spider-Man 3 (currently still untitled) in December 2020. This is reinforced by the fact that trailers for Spidey's two previous installments, "Homecoming" and "Far From Home", were released in December 2016 and 2018, respectively. So hopefully 2020 doesn't somehow screw us out of that.
Now that Jamie Foxx's Electro from the Andrew Garfield Amazing Spider-Man franchise is being brought on for Spider-Man 3, coupled with all the teasers surrounding the MCU multiverse, folks (me included) are hopeful to see Andrew Garfield and Tobey McGuire team up with Tom Holland to kick some Sinister Six ass!
A note about the Sinister Six: Garfield's movies introduced Lizard, Electro, Rhino, Green Goblin, and had a teaser for Doctor Octopus. Holland's first couple movies have incorporated Vulture and Mysterio, and teased Scorpion. Rumors have surrounded a Kraven appearance. Do you think the Sinister Six is coming? Or is it still a ways off? If Vulture, Mysterio, Scorpion, and Electro are for sure on the roster, who do you think the other two will be?
Next, an Inverse article suggested that with Dr. Strange playing a role in Spider-Man 3, one of Spidey's old villains, Morlun, would be the big baddie for the third installment. Morlun is vampire who hunts super-beings throughout the multiverse. If Garfield and McGuire are indeed reprising their roles in the MCU, Morlun makes a bit more sense. However, Morlun got his multiverse-traversing abilities from Karn (AKA Master Weaver), who previously hunted Spider-Totems throughout the multiverse, but eventually had a change of heart.
This next piece, I fully admit upfront is a bit of an analytic leap. However, if there is any truth to all these multiverse theories, introducing Morlun made me think of Dr. Michael Morbius (because VAMPIRES!). In the comics, Morbius has had encounters with Dr. Strange, and Dr. Curt Conners (AKA Lizard from Garfield's Amazing Spider-Man). One point that rings out to me, from the comics, is when Martine Bancroft (Morbius' fiancee) wakes up from an illness or coma (or something) and discovers notes and letters belonging to Morbius, from Dr. Reed Richards regarding a cure for his vampiric ailment. I know this is a huge stretch, but it could end up being an easter egg that teases the introduction of the Fantastic Four.
