1. Venom?!

If Homecoming represents a watershed for Spider-Man in terms of the introduction of the black symbiote suit, it also represents a key staging issue for the introduction of fan favourite villain Venom.

The arc that starts in Secret Wars would eventually culminate with Spidey's battle with the symbiote before it bonds to Eddie Brock as its new host.

How It Would Work In The Film

Let's hope we don't see any of Venom in 2017's movie (other than perhaps an Easter Egg).

Frankly, introducing the villain too early would be a mistake, but with Sony pushing ahead with a stand-alone movie for the cult character, there's a distinct possibility that he will appear in a future sequel after that film's release.

Which of these elements would you like to see introduced into the stand-alone Spider-Man movie? Share your thoughts below in the comments thread.
