Spider-Man: Homecoming 2 - 10 Things Fans Demand

4. Cameos From Famous Spidey Rogues

Netflix

The delineation between the MCU's cinematic properties and its TV ones is... odd, to say the least. Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and all the other series pay constant homage to the events of the films, but when it comes to recognition the relationship looks like something of a one way street.

For fans wishing to see Daredevil link up with Spider-Man, or Luke Cage link up with The Avengers, it's endlessly frustrating. And while Infinity War's makers have admitted that they "considered" including the TV characters, the logistics - ostensibly - proved too difficult for such a move to make it off the drawing board.

That hasn't stopped actors from asking for such a crossover happening though, whether it be Charlie Cox referencing Daredevil's past with Black Widow in interviews, or Kingpin actor Vincent D'Onofrio contemplating a battle with Spider-Man. There's a clear willingness for these connections to be expanded on the silver screen, and though the logistics of getting D'Onofrio's Fisk to tassel with Spidey may indeed prove difficult, surely a nod - an Easter Egg - wouldn't be too difficult to include?

Kingpin is at the top of the list when it comes to Spidey villains yet to be broached explicitly by the web-head on the big screen, and while he forms just one of many rogues in the wall-crawler's gallery, a nod - even in passing - wouldn't go amiss.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
