The highly-anticipated Spider-Man: Brand New Day is steadily assembling its cast for production, slated to commence later this summer. Recent casting news has ignited speculation about the inclusion of a fan-favorite villain, hinting at the return of none other than the Scorpion.
A casting call, circulated for a
significant scene set in a prison, has caught the attention of fans and
analysts alike. Descriptions of the scene include numerous inmates
participating in a dramatic prison breakout, fueling theories about the
storyline and the villains involved. Among the limited roster of
Spider-Man-related foes currently incarcerated in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
(MCU), the Scorpion’s name stands out.
Process
of Elimination: Who Could It Be?
Villains already established within
Spider-Man’s MCU journey narrow down the possibilities. The Vulture, seen last
in Spider-Man: Homecoming and later transported to the Morbius universe,
appears unlikely to return for Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Marvel previously
considered bringing him back in Spider-Man: No Way Home, but ultimately decided
against it. That leaves the Scorpion, portrayed by actor Michael Mando, who has
been locked away since his appearance alongside Vulture in Homecoming.
Speculation suggests that Scorpion will
play a role in the upcoming film, potentially seeking revenge on Spider-Man.
Some even theorize his character could follow a comic storyline that sees him
transformed into Venom—a development that would certainly shake things up.
A
Riot in New York: What It Could Mean for the Film’s Tone
Details from the casting call also
point toward a large-scale prison riot, setting the stage for chaos and
villainous escapes. If rumors hold true, Spider-Man: Brand New Day could adopt
a “mad house” atmosphere, akin to New York plunged into turmoil. The vision
aligns with possible themes of Spider Island or Battleworld, bringing grand,
conflict-driven stakes to the storyline.
Fans have long awaited a meaningful
payoff for Scorpion’s introduction in the MCU. Whether he serves as a major
villain or plays a smaller role in the narrative, his inclusion would be a
welcome acknowledgment of past events and a thrilling addition to the
Spider-Man saga.
What
Fans Are Hoping For
Ideally, many fans have dreamt of
Scorpion taking center stage as a formidable adversary, perhaps even teaming up
with other villains for a unified showdown. While a leading role remains
uncertain, even a minor appearance would be preferable to the character fading
into obscurity. Scorpion’s return could provide the resolution fans have been
seeking since Homecoming and deliver exciting action sequences to kick off the
new film.
