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 Scorpion
Scorpion is an example of a classic Spidey villain. A small-time and crooked individual, he accepts an offer from J. Jonah Jameson to undergo a procedure that will grant him power and ability to track the Web-Slinger. When the experiment forced the loss of what sanity and reason he had, however, Mac Gargan became enraged and vowed to destroy Jameson and even Spider-Man, whom he deemed partly responsible.

While Spidey has most often been able to dispatch the villain with relative ease, his strength and unnerving resilience always makes him a dangerous foe if underestimated. A newly confident Peter Parker, fresh from meeting heroes like the Avengers, may be liable to make such an error and could easily be drawn into a deadly conflict with a psycho like Gargan.

Relying on all of his wit and spry athleticism, this would make for a visually striking on-screen contest and surely couldn’t disappoint, right?
