Homecoming Sequel Aims to Have Never-Before-Used Villain

"Spider-Man has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to villains."

The sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming will likely feature a villain that has not yet appeared on the big screen.

When asked by the Toronto Sun if he had any idea yet who might be the villain in the next Spider-Man movie, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige said they want to introduce foes that haven't yet been featured.

"We are excited to use characters that you haven't seen before on screen. So that narrows it down a little bit in terms of who will pop up next," Feige said. "Spider-Man has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to villains and there are a lot that haven’t been touched upon. It's those that we will be looking at first."

Spider-Man: Homecoming stars Michael Keaton as the Vulture, and prior films have already featured villains like the Green Goblin, Electro, Rhino, Shocker, Doctor Octopus, Venom, Sandman and the Lizard.

As such, that still leaves a number of possible foes for Tom Holland's Spider-Man to contend with in the sequel, including Mysterio, Carnage, Mister Negative, Kraven the Hunter, Molten Man, and many others.

The sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming will be released in theaters on July 5, 2019, and will serve as the start of the fourth phase of the MCU. Meanwhile, Holland's first solo outing as the web-slinging hero opens tomorrow, July 7. For our thoughts on the film, read IGN's Spider-Man: Homecoming review.
