Tombstone is among the iconic Marvel supervillains that Peter Parker went up against in Spider-Man 4. Now, a new behind-the-scenes video has surfaced, suggesting that the villain could return in future installments of the beloved film series.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day features a brief fight scene between Tombstone, one of the most recognizable villains in Marvel Comics, and Spider-Man. Actor and rapper Marvin “Krondon” Jones III portrays the villain in the latest movie.
A recent BTS video, shared by acclaimed makeup artist Josh Weston on Instagram, shows the entire process of Krondon’s transformation into Tombstone. The fast-forwarded clip captures the prosthetic makeup being put on the actor to get him ready for the shoot. Fans are now noticing that the BTS content about Tombstone is longer than his actual appearance in the movie. This has sparked speculation about his future role.
Brand New Day barely used one of Spider-Man’s most recognizable villains
Krondon’s Tombstone made a very brief appearance in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The villain featured in a thrilling but short fight sequence with Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, leaving fans disappointed.
However, after the BTS video of the villain came to light, some fans have noted how it is longer than his actual scene in the movie. Many are now speculating that Tombstone may have a bigger role in future installments.
Tombstone boasts a long history in the Marvel canon. He is a notorious crime boss who terrorizes New York City. Over the years, he has become one of the most iconic supervillains in the comics. The comics depict Tombstone as a massive albino man with sharp filed teeth.
Fans have noted that Tombstone’s short on-screen appearance does not do his legacy justice. Many now believe that the newly emerged longer exclusive BTS content hints at a potentially bigger role for the villain in future Spider-Man movies. Whether the MCU will bring back Krondon’s Tombstone for a more extensive storyline remains to be seen.
