1) The Scorpion’s Boys
Though he’s only given a brief role here, Michael Mando is playing a significant character in Homecoming. Credited as Mac Gargan, he’s seen to have a scorpion tattoo on his neck. The tattoo is a nod to Gargan’s alter ego in the comics – the supervillain Scorpion. What’s the betting that Gargan returns all suited up in the sequel?
Speaking of which, the movie’s first post-credits scene teases something big to come in the next instalment. It sees Adrian Toomes encounter his old crony Mac Gargan in jail. Gargan informs him that he has a plan to get revenge on Spider-Man. “I’ve got some boys on the outside who would love to slit his throat,” he says.
This has to be an oblique reference to the fact that a certain supervillain team will be forming in the sequel. Namely, the Sinister Six. Scorpion, Vulture and Shocker, who also appears Spider-Man: Homecoming, are all members in the comics. All it needs is three new villains to be introduced and the Six would be a go.
