A new Spider-Man 4 rumor suggests that fans may not have yet uncovered who the big villain in the highly anticipated upcoming movie.
What is the latest Spider-Man 4 rumor?
According to noted insider Daniel Richtman, fans have yet to figure out who the “main villain” of Spider-Man: Brand New Day is. While there have been tons of rumors, Richtman notes that the main villain of the film is “none” of who fans have already heard about.
Richtman also noted that the villain will not be Mister Negative, a rumor that was also recently debunked by other insiders. As for who the villain might, it’s currently unclear. Fans have theorized that the likes of Scorpion, Venom, and more might appear in the movie, but Marvel Studios is keeping things under wraps, for now.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is being directed by Destin Daniel Cretton from a screenplay written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. The movie will once again be led by Tom Holland as he reprises his role as Peter Parker/Spider-Man. Emmy winner Zendaya and Jacob Batalo are also expected to return for the sequel.
