As fans are still debating who should be the main villain inSpider-Man 4, the two most popularMarvel Cinematic Universeideas come to life through perfect art. With 2024 reaching its end, it’s been a good year for news aboutTom Holland’sSpider-Man 4movie, as Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures are getting closer to making the sequel become a reality. While principal photography is scheduled for next summer, details are still being kept under wraps about who Peter Parker’s next antagonist will be - but some fans have solid theories regarding who should be the major antagonistSpider-Man 4.
The talented artistAGT Designrecently shared artwork regarding two separate ideas forSpider-Man 4, which explore what some of the biggest theories about the movie could look like if they became reality forthe MCU timeline.One design goes with the Knull-focusedSpider-Man: King in Black, while the other poster tackles a story focused around Kingpin, here titledSpider-Man: Brave New Day,based on the comic of the same name. Check them out below.
ForSpider-Man: King in Black,the story is imagined as a multiverse crossover with Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, as Andy Serkis' Knull becomes the central antagonist in this scenario. InSpider-Man: Brand New Day, Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin is imagined as the next threat against Peter. However, both of theSpider-Man 4posters see the web-crawler joining forces with Charlie Cox’s Daredevil, Jon Bernthal’s Punisher, Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones, and Alaqua Cox’s Echo. In addition to them, Tom Hardy’s Venom, Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Kraven the Hunter, and Michael Keaton’s Vulture are also featured.
What The Spider-Man 4 Art Means For The Movie
While details about who will actually be the main foe inSpider-Man 4will likely not emerge for quite some time,the new MCU art showcases just how popular Knull and Kingpin are as options for the web-slinger. Even though he only had a handful of scenes inVenom: The Last Dance, Knull’s debut was definitely left with fans wanting to see this character explored further in live-action. Despite the uncertainty of where Sony’s Spider-Man Universe is going after 2024, many would want to see Knull show up inSpider-Man 4.
The idea of Kingpin being aMarvel character that would be perfect to appear inSpider-Man 4has a longer history, asthis is something MCU fans have theorized about ever since D’Onforio made his return to the MCU duringHawkeye. With Wilson Fisk set to have his biggest MCU storyline inDaredevil: Born Again, the show could set up an organic way for Kingpin to be the big bad inSpider-Man 4, especially if the mayoral storyline leads to him going after superheroes in New York. This would also justify having other street-level heroes appear inSpider-Man 4.
Our Take On The Spider-Man 4 Art
AsHolland’sSpider-Man 4will be a “significant event,“the stakes are higher than ever when it comes to not only what allies will be around Peter, but also regarding his next threat, especially after everything he went through inSpider-Man: No Way Home. Even though both of theSpider-Man 4artwork pieces make great cases for why Kingpin and Knull would be great options, time will tell which villain will end up in the sequel. Hopefully, when 2025 comes around, more news about the overallSpider-Man 4plot will begin to emerge.
