Spider-Man: Far From Home - EVERY Major Rumour Ranked Worst To Best

7. The Osborns Return

Rumour:

That same big plot leak that made its way onto Reddit not so long ago included the fact that Mysterio wouldn't be the main villain, but would in fact be working for a "mysterious" Bigger Bad. And not only that, but the villain would be a famous figure from Spider-Man comics and would go on to be a big presence in future Spider-Man movies.

If that doesn't scream Norman Osborn to you, you don't know Spider-Man villains as well as you probably should.

Reaction:

It's SURELY only a matter of time before Osborn appears in the new Spider-Man movies. He's basically part of the Spidey-furniture and it would be a huge oversight for him not to be involved. So having him in a sort of Grand Puppet Master position behind the scenes would make sense.

The other possibility for that "Big Bad" is Doctor Octopus, who would fit the billing just as easily and who would also slot into the Sinister Six, if that indeed is Sony's longer-term approach.
