Eight years ago, Spider-Man: Homecoming introduced Michael Mando’s Mac Gargan, a gangster who tried to buy weapons from Michael Keaton’s Adrian Toomes before Spider-Man intervened. While we did see an alternate version of Gargan become The Scorpion in the Disney+ subscription-exclusive animated series Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man earlier this year, Mando’s version will finally make the turn to full supervillain next year in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. How that will happen remains to be revealed, but I suspect that another baddie from Homecoming will be responsible for The Scorpion’s emergence in the upcoming Marvel movie.
