For Spider-Man fans, December's Far From Home follow-up can't get here soon enough.

Already, it's been announced that the next outing for Tom Holland's Spider-Man will see him tangling with Alfred Molina's Doctor Octopus and Jamie Foxx's Electro, while the belief is that Toby Maguire and Andrew Garfield's incarnations of ol' Web-head will be joining Holland's Peter Parker in the film - with the Multiverse soon to be at play in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

By bringing in characters from Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy and Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man pictures, that means that all bets are off where the characters of those respective franchises are concerned.

As such, it's not as crazy as it once sounded to think that Willem Dafoe and Chris Cooper's versions of Norman Osborn, James Franco and Dane DeHaan's takes on Harry Osborn, Topher Grace's Venom, Thomas Hayden Church's Sandman, Rhys Ifans' Lizard or certain others characters are all now fair game for what's currently just being labelled 'Spider-Man 3' - with an official title for the movie yet to be revealed.

One also has to think, with Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios having opted to already let so many cats out of the bag, just what major surprises and shocks are being saved for when Spider-Man 3 releases at the end of the year.
