The Rumour

According to another big rumour, the villains in Spider-Man 3 will combine the familiar with a massively popular fan favourite from the comics, because we're going to see the return of Michael Mando's Scorpion and the debut of Kraven the Hunter.

Response

It might not feel particularly likely that it's going to be Kraven with Sony reportedly developing their own Kraven movie, but that doesn't necessarily kill the suggestion either.

Both Kraven and the MCU version of Scorpion would fit, because the former is a hunter who could be brought in to follow his trail now that his identity is out in the open and the latter was already looking to discover Peter's identity when we last saw him at the end of Homecoming.

And like Vulture and Mysterio, both would also fit with Marvel's assumed agenda to bring in villains we haven't seen before in other Spider-Man movies. So there's definitely a chance (and it's almost 100% that Scorpion will at least appear in some capacity).
