Spider-Man: Homecoming
Tom Holland’sSpider - Manmovies have some of the strongest , most compelling villains in theMarvel Cinematic Universe . In Spidey ’s first two MCU solo movies , the Vulture and Mysterio avoided the franchise ’s usual “ villain problem ” by invent a personal connection to Peter Parker and developing their own well - rounded personality and motivations .
And that was beforeNo Way Homeblasted the multiverse open and pulled in a couple of iconic – and a couple of not - so - iconic – scoundrel from otherSpider - Manfranchises , like Willem Dafoe ’s Green Goblin and Jamie Foxx ’s Electro .
The Sandman
The least memorable scoundrel from the MCU’sSpider - Manmovies is the Sandman . InSpider - Man 3 , the Sandman was a surprisingly sympathetic figure : an X - con who turn to a life of crime to pay for his terminally ominous daughter ’s treatments .
But inNo Way Home , he ’s reduced to a one - line original . Thomas Haden Church did n’t shoot any new material pip forNo Way Home , so the new adaptation of the Sandman speak in generic soundbites to string the bare lower limit of a part spark together .
The Lizard
Whilethe Lizard has slightly more to doin the MCU ’s Spidey threequel than the Sandman does , this reptilian threat is still just as one - dimensional and shakily animated inNo Way Homeas he was inThe Amazing Spider - Manback in 2012 .
InNo Way Home , the Lizard is mostly used for reactionary gags with fiber learn that “ the dinosaur can talk . ” The MCU ’s VFX team should ’ve revamp the Lizard ’s flavor with a more cartoon strip - exact design like they did with Electro .
The Elementals
In the first couple of acts ofFar From Home , Spidey is terrorized by the Elementals . These villains do n’t pose any kind of threat – they ’re not even real , they ’re just illusions projected by Mysterio ’s monotone – but they ’re still visually stunning .
With powers drawn from basic chemical element like fire and water supply , the Elementals are based on a fistful of blow - tier up scoundrel from the Spidey canon . They provide great deal of spectacle in betweenFar From Home’sEuropean holiday - style drollery .
Electro
Electro ’s revitalisation in the MCU finally utilize Jamie Foxx ’s strength as a comedic actor : pitch - arrant timing and ice - cool charisma . The Amazing Spider - Man 2woefully mischaracterized Electro and bizarrely honk Foxx as a timid dweeb who fall into a vat of electric eels and turns into an electrical megalomaniac . No manner Homegives Foxx a Marvel supervillain role that ’s much better suit to his natural endowment .
Although Electro is largely sidelined throughout the movie , crap room for other villains like Doc Ock and the Green Goblin to shine , Foxx check he has a twosome of memorable moments , like telling Ned , “ It ’s just a tree , man , ” and hypothecate , “ There ’s got ta bea Black Spider - Man out there somewhere . ”
Doctor Octopus
Since his arc inSpider - Man 2was so perfect , Jon Watts tread in severe waters to bring back Alfred Molina ’s Doctor Octopus inNo Way Home . Doc Ock ’s role in the Holland threequel is n’t as memorable as the Green Goblin ’s , but he does accomplish true redemption .
At the end ofSpider - Man 2 , Doc Ock simply recognized his own monstrosity and made the ultimate sacrifice . InNo Way Home , he ’s “ cured ” by Peter andreturns in the final battle to help the Spider - Menin their quest to distribute the other villain remedy .
Mysterio
The lagger and early scenes ofSpider - Man : Far From Homeset up Mysterio as an ally of Spidey ’s . This , of course , turns out to be one of his signature ruses , which was a predictable twirl . Mysterio is one of the most iconic baddie in Spider - Man ’s rogues ’ gallery , so there was no way he was n’t go to be the bad bozo of this movie . But Holland ’s chemistry with Jake Gyllenhaal make it work .
Peter gets tranquillise into a phony surrogate Father of the Church - Logos relationship before the inevitable rug - pull , which personalizes their conflict . Mysterio posed his biggest scourge to Spidey from beyond the grave accent . He bewray Peter in the bad style possible – reveal his secret individuality to the earthly concern – and coiffure up the whole patch ofNo Way Home .
The Vulture
Michael Keaton ’s predator was the first villain to crucify Spidey in an MCU solo flick . He has a sympathetic motivation for his diabolical deeds . He was an independent contractor who got squeeze out of his industry by Tony Stark ’s personal offset of the government activity . So , he resorted to a life history of crime to provide for his category .
The Vulture ’s threats of shaver murder ( and , later on , attempts at child murder ) make him much less likable . Homecoming ’s arresting midpoint winding divulge the unobserved personal connectedness that links the Vulture to the eminent shoal B - plot : he ’s the father of Peter ’s homecoming escort , Liz . The fit in the car , in which he lento see out Peter is Spider - Man , is one of the tense , most perfectly written sequence in the whole MCU .
The Green Goblin
Willem Dafoe ’s Green Goblin smash the goofy Power Rangers mask from the Raimi movies within minutes of his riposte inNo Way Home . This merciful mask - shattering finally put the glare on Dafoe ’s faze facial reflection , which hit much more fear into the audience than the chrome - fleeceable helmet . Dafoe ’s grin when Spidey repeatedly perforate him in the side is infinitely creepy-crawly than the stabile grinning on that silly mask .
The Goblin is easily the most diabolical villain inNo Way Home(and the least centripetal to Peter ’s homemade cure ) . His role in the story demonstrateswhat makes the Goblin Spidey ’s ultimate archway - nemesisas he kills Aunt May , then endeavor to make Peter find responsible to bring out his own “ dark one-half . ”
