It's now fully confirmed that actor Michael Mando will reprise his role as the Scorpion for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the fourth film in Marvel Studios and Sony's joint Spidey franchise. What we don't quite know yet is exactly how he'll embody the role, and how closely it'll resemble the comic book history of Mac Gargan, the Scorpion.
What's interesting is that Mando has been teasing that he may be playing not just Scorpion, but Venom as well. No, that doesn't mean he'll be playing two separate characters. On the contrary, it seems Brand New Day may in fact depict Mac Gargan's turn from being the original Scorpion to becoming the new host of the Venom symbiote.
