Over the past week, we’ve experienced some confusion in regard to Spider-Man, the MCU, and Sony's SpiderVerse. Amy Pascal, who started it all, has since clarified that Sony's Venom (part of the SpiderVerse) isn’t a part of Marvel's Cinematic Universe, but we’re still wondering whether there’s a chance that Sony characters will join the MCU and vice versa.
Recent rumors say that this will happen sooner rather than later. According to Splash Report, one of Spider-Man: Homecoming’s hidden villains will appear in Sony's Silver and Black.
No spoilers here! We learned a couple of days ago that Mac Gargan, played by Michael Mando of Better Call Saul, will appear in Spider-Man's first solo flick in the MCU. Gargan is the most widely known version of Spidey villain Scorpion.
Splash Report added that this version of Scorpion will also appear in Silver and Black as the head enforcer for the main antagonist, who’s rumored to be Mendel Stromm, aka Robot Master. Scorpion will clash with Silver Sable and Black Cat on multiple occasions, and Splash Report compared him to Dave Bautista's Hinx from Spectre.
The movie’s Scorpion is described as big and muscular, with a cybernetically controlled mechanical tail. We don’t know whether he'll have superhuman abilities, but we suspect that will be the case, since he works for Stromm, who worked on the formula that transformed Norman Osborn into the Green Goblin.
Of course, you should take this information with a grain of salt!
