The Opening Montage: Who Spider-Man Fights
The clip shows Peter clashing with six villains, a nod to classic comic covers. It also highlights how busy he has been in New York since No Way Home.
| Villain | Played By | What Happens |
|---|---|---|
| Scorpion | Michael Mando | Returns after being teased in Homecoming; broken out of prison and mind-controlled by Jean Grey, then loses again |
| Tombstone | Marvin Jones III | Dangles Spidey off a building, then is defeated off-screen and arrested |
| Tarantula | Not named in source | Fights Spidey on a boat, recreating Amazing Spider-Man #134’s cover |
| Boomerang | Not named in source | Chased across the city’s rooftops |
| The Hand | Ninja order | Spidey takes them on in the sky |
| Ramrod | Billy Clements | Spidey thrusts him into a wall in front of onlookers |
Surprises and Misdirection
Many fans expected a much bigger role for Tombstone, so a few seconds on screen was a shock. A theory that M.J.’s new boyfriend would be revealed as Boomerang didn’t pan out either, as neither character got enough screen time for a twist. The main villain duties actually fell to Tramell Tillman’s Damage Control boss William Metzger and, to a lesser extent, Sadie Sink’s Jean Grey. The Hand later became the basis for the film’s third-act battle after Hulk.
Will These Villains Return?
The Direct thinks Boomerang, Tarantula and Ramrod are too obscure to come back. Alistair Smythe could be the hidden link behind them, though that is pure speculation. Tombstone is a different story, with a rumoured “overarching” role in the next Spider-Man trilogy. That could set up a New York turf war involving Kingpin, Silvermane and Hammerhead, with Scorpion possibly joining. The Hand has also been reported for Daredevil: Born Again Season 3, so Matt Murdock may have to deal with them next.
