Spider-Man: No Way Home New Poster Sees the Return of Mysterio & Vulture

A new fan poster for Spider-Man: No Way Home features Mysterio and Vulture. Vulture, played by Michael Keaton; was chosen as the major adversary when Sony opted to reboot Spider-Man and bring him to the MCU.

Peter Parker would next face Quentin Beck (Mysterio), played by Jake Gyllenhaal, after being brought back from the grave and aiding to destroy Thanos in Avengers: Endgame. Vulture was sentenced to prison at the conclusion of Spider-Man: Homecoming; and Mysterio appeared to die in Spider-Man: Far From Home; but not before disclosing Parker’s true identity to the world.

Mysterio and Vulture have yet to be confirmed for Spider-Man: No Way Home. The third instalment of Jon Watts’ Spider-Man trilogy; on the other hand, will feature plenty of foes for the iconic web-slinger to fight. The first confirmed enemy in the sequel was Jamie Foxx’s Electro; who was quickly followed by Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock from Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2.

The movie’s marketing also seemed to imply that Sandman would play a role in it; which was just verified when Sony released the second teaser for Spider-Man: No Way Home. Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin and Rhys Ifans’ Lizard were both prominently featured in the trailer. Despite the enthusiasm surrounding the tying together of three Spider-Man films; many fans are still wondering if MCU Spider-Man villains would feature.

Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland’s Spider-Man characters are pitted against the Sinister Six in a poster designed by digital artist mahj_art. Doc Ock is the main character on the poster; although it also includes Mysterio, the Lizard, Electro, the Green Goblin, and Vulture. Below is a link to the artist’s original post.

During Garfield’s Spider-Man run, Sony planned a Sinister Six film; but it was shelved due to the poor reception to The Amazing Spider-Man 2. While this cleared the scene for Holland’s debut as Spider-Man; it also left fans yearning for a Sinister Six showdown. Despite the fact that Spider-Man: No Way Home appears to be finally delivering; only five adversaries have been confirmed thus far.

This suggests that Sony and Disney may be keeping the identity of the Sinister Six’s final member a mystery until the film’s premiere. There are lots of characters who could occupy the team’s last position after two solo outings from Holland and Sony tying Venom and Morbius to the MCU.

With all of the acknowledged villains from Raimi and Marc Webb’s films, it’s feasible that if Spider-Man: No Way Home does include a mystery character; it’ll be a Marvel Cinematic Universe villain or perhaps a new addition to the franchise. Furthermore, neither Maguire nor Garfield have been cast in the sequel. Because Spider-Man: No Way Home’s marketing has disclosed a lot so far, these questions may not be resolved until the film hits cinemas. Even if the film doesn’t have a surprising adversary in store for viewers, Spidey will have his hands full come December.
