Spider-Man: Homecoming - 6 Villains Michael Keaton Could Play (& 4 He Shouldn't)

3. Venom (Or Carnage)

It's only a matter of time before Venom returns to the big screen, with rumours that Sony are still up for making a solo film for the symbiote after Homecoming repairs the brand. In that case, having Venom and Carnage involved in a symbiote/symbiote face-off would be great (particularly if it was played as a horror).

But, Venom should not be anywhere near Homecoming, despite the rumours that came out of the title's announcement (thanks to the brief 1980s comic arc of the same name). In that comic, Spidey returns to Earth after the Secret Wars arc, complete with the new black symbiote suit that ultimately set up the arrival of Venom, and a lot of people put 2 and 2 together and got Venom for the film.

Frankly, it's too early to introduce Venom and when he does come in, he needs to be a closer parallel to Spidey (young, athletic, charming), rather than someone of Keaton's age and profile.
