37 Years After Debut, A Fan-Favorite Spider-Man Villain Is Finally Coming to the MCU

Spider-Man is known for having a huge number of memorable villains, which has been great for his movies. We’ve already seen many of his iconic enemies – like Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, and Sandman – come to life on screen. But there are still plenty of Spidey’s foes who haven’t had their moment in the spotlight. The upcoming film, *Spider-Man: Brand New Day*, is focusing on a more personal, street-level story, giving it the chance to introduce some of these lesser-known villains. Recent casting news confirms the movie is doing just that, and will be utilizing a wider range of characters from Spider-Man’s history.
