10 Villains Who Could Kickstart The Spider-Man Reboot

Earlier this year, we brought you a list of ten characters that we'd love to see appear in the Spider-Man re-reboot, comprised of a few friends, foes and females from Peter Parker's comic life. Now, with the news that new Spidey star Tom Holland has reportedly already filmed his Captain America: Civil War cameo, we thought it was time to start pondering which of the character's iconic villains could kick his latest screen adventure off on the right foot!

Spidey mysterio

Mysterio is a villain who has been suggested for near enough every Spider-Man movie since Sam Raimi’s first trilogy entry, and so he’s clearly a foe that fans would love to see realized on the big screen.

Working along similar lines to our earlier Chameleon suggestions, Mysterio would be a test of Peter Parker’s intelligence and spirit. A special effects wizard able to conjure illusions that are both outlandish and convincing, Quentin Beck has been a thorn in Spider-Man’s side on many an occasion.

He’s also a villain who’s a lot less villainous than many of the others. While The Amazing Spider-Man 2 tried their hand at making an oddly likeable villain, they failed miserably with their wet portrayal of Max Dillon. Beck could be the joker in the pack for this series, and could even see the series get its answer to The Avengers‘ Loki.
