This one's likely a long shot, as injecting the bloody antics of Frank Castle into the teenage sensibilities of a John Hughes flick don't quite fit Feige's vision, but it's something we'd love to see nonetheless.
The Punisher made his comic book debut in the pages of Amazing Spider-Man #129, and fans have longed to see the two characters meet up on screen ever since.
With Peter Parker now able to exist in the pre-established MCU, and with the Punisher set to make his debut into that universe in Daredevil's second season next spring, there's no better time to merge these two characters and keep the exciting crossovers going.
Plus, with Punisher already established, director Jon Watts wouldn't have to waste precious screentime giving Castle an origin story and could instead spend that time on the things we REALLY want to see. He doesn't have to be the main villain, but some kind of cameo or small role would be a great nod to the fans.
Gallery: 10 Characters We Want To See In The Spider-Man Reboot
The 2017 Spider-Man reboot will have to truly differentiate itself from the past two franchises - one of which came to an end just one year ago - in order to succeed. We already have a new Peter Parker, who'll be played by Tom Holland, and now we need a cast of villains and supporting characters to surround him with. Kevin Feige - who's co-producing the new film along with Sony - has already stated that he'd like to see villains that have yet to show up on the big screen (sorry Green Goblin fans), and that the next slate of films would take a more character-driven approach to the wall-crawler, and hue closer to a John Hughes film than an Avengers movie. With that in mind, here are ten characters, either villains or normal New Yorkers - that we'd like to see in the series this time around.
