Spider-Man: Homecoming - 10 Spidey Movie Mistakes It Must Avoid

If Spider-Man 3 taught us anything, it is that too many cooks spoil the broth, while Homecoming is in danger of making the same mistake twice. I understand if you are trying to set up a universe with the Sinister Six, but we all know Marvel's bad guy track record.

With Michael Keaton's Vulture confirmed as the main villain, we will also see Michael Chernus as The Tinkerer, while Fargo's Bokeem Woodbine appears to be playing Shocker. Thats is three, yes count them, three villains, which is a tie with Spider-Man 3 for overkill.

Then you have the reports that Logan Marshall-Green will also be playing a bad guy, and that Jacob Batalon has been cast as Peter's friend Ned Leeds. The Leeds of the comic books eventually becomes Hobgoblin, so get to that level and you are into dangerous Suicide Squad territory for villain saturation. It will either be perfection, or a balancing act gone wrong.

Spider-Man films have often become bogged down in a multitude of villains fighting for screen time, meaning they are under-developed and underused. Think of Crossbones in Civil War, his ending was criticised, but Frank Grillo had the perfect time to open the action of the film for the rest to unfold.

Could this be how Shocker fits in? In an ideal world Vulture will take up 90% of the screen time, aided by The Tinkerer, and the rest of the villains will be cameos or setting up the future of the film or just exposition.

Do not follow the Raimi formula!
