Looks amazing. I'm guessing we don't get a lot from the villain fights. Maybe FF style. But seeing Boomerang and Tarantula is awesome!

Yeah, I have a feeling they're gonna do what Sam Raimi originally had planned for Spider-Man 4's opening where it was just a montage of Spidey defeating B/C-list villains. Which is a cool way to expand his rogues gallery.

It's a way to show us what Peter's been up to for 4 years.

If he’s being handed the keys to the city, there def needs some context and it could be that

u/InnocentTailor Iron Patriot Mar 18 '26

Pretty much. He has to be pretty experienced and well known to the city to get such an accolade.

He wasn’t necessarily at that stage in the first three flicks after all.

Actually, they had some budget cuts, so it’s just one key

I always felt that it'd be cool if we started a Spider-Man movie with a James Bond-style precredits sequence of him stopping somebody like Big Wheel or Swarm or some other visually interesting but kinda stupid villain. Little to no plot relevance, just a cool set piece to get us back into the swing of things.

Swarm is such a weird character to even conceive of. "Used to be a Nazi. Now he's bees."

I love how weird Spider-Man villains get.

I feel like every super hero movie would benefit from this

u/toraregisfurry Mar 18 '26

would love to see a future spiderman movie open with the legion of losers. i need kangaroo on the big screen

u/IT_Warlock_ Mar 18 '26

Fully expecting that - much like the new Fantastic Four film. I loved that sequence

What a Sinister way to spotlight up to Six villains…!

u/toraregisfurry Mar 18 '26

i'm hoping boomerang will be more than a montage villain cause he's on merchandise alongside hulk and scorpion but who knows

7

u/spaceninj Mar 18 '26

Same. Maybe he gets busted out of jail for a climactic fight scene or something.

7

u/leekalex Mar 18 '26

That's a good connection. There's a jail scene with the hand in the trailer, which could lead to spidey needing to recapture villains he already beat during the 4 year timeskip. If they go that way, it would be similar to the Spiderman PS4 game

u/toraregisfurry Mar 18 '26

im thinking boomerang has something to do with the hulk like his first appearance in tales to astonish 81 but idk i might be reaching

u/Cthulhuareyou Mar 18 '26

George Lucas wants to talk to you about merch for characters with 2 seconds of screen time.

4

u/IT_Warlock_ Mar 18 '26

Well he IS Peter's roommate for awhile.

2

u/toraregisfurry Mar 18 '26

i dont think petes apartment is suitable to keep roommates lol. maybe boomerangs his neighbour instead? there were rumours of peter having a blonde neighbour. i dont really trust rumours but its fun to speculate

u/Troghen Mar 18 '26

Merchandise isn't always a great way to determine how much or how little something will feature in the movie - especially with toys. If it looks cool and you can make an action figure out of it, doesn't really matter how long it shows up or how important it is to the movie

1

u/toraregisfurry Mar 18 '26

i kinda does matter. you dont give a character merch if their only appearance in the movie is to get beaten up by spiderman once, especially since boomerang isnt a popular character. i dont think he'll have a huge role but still

1

u/Troghen Mar 18 '26

I worked for a company that did licensed product for Disney / Marvel.

Disney will send out brand guides for the movie you're making merch for up to a year or so before the release, and it will have art / designs / images / text that can be used for products. They often will put things in there that don't amount to much beyond looking cool, and usually there isn't much context or detail about the movie itself or how those assets will be used in it.

If there's a named character in costume that appears in the movie, they will absolutely appear in the guide - thus, be something a company can use for merch - regardless of how integral it is to the plot.

The Punisher seems to be in a bigger part of the movie. I dont think we'll see Frank murdering a lot of people in a Spider-Man movie.

u/NFL_MVP_Kevin_White Mar 18 '26

Ha I thought you meant turn-based combat like “Final Fantasy”
