The poster also features Charlie Cox’s Daredevil from the Netflix series,Daredevil.Many fans were overjoyed to hear rumoursthat he too would be appearing inSpider-man 3following the cancellation ofDaredevil. While this appearance has yet to be confirmed, it would be amazing for him to fight alongside Spider-man, whether it be Tom Holland’s, or alongside all three as this poster imagines.
Several other characters from both the MCU and previous Spider-man continuities have been confirmed or rumored to be making appearances inSpider-man 3.Jamie Foxx’s Electro, fromThe Amazing Spider-man 2will also be in the movie, as well as Kirsten Dunst as Mary-Jane Watson from Tobey Maguire’s Spider-man movies.Benedict Cumberbatch will be appearingas the MCU’s Doctor Strange, who Peter Parker met in theAvengersfilms.
There have been mixed reactions to these casting announcements. Some fans are excited to see returns of characters they loved from other Spider-man franchises. Many are excited about the possibility ofSpider-man 3involving some kind of Spider-man multiverse, especially after the success of 2018’sSpider-man: Into the Spider-verse.
On the other hand,Spider-man: Into the Spider-versewas beloved by both critics and audiences, meaning any version of the multi-verse done now would be held up against it. Additionally, many worry that the number of characters could weigh the movie down, or take away from Tom Holland’s Peter Parker and his arc,which promises to be very interestingafter the end ofSpider-man: Far From Home. For now, with production and story being as locked down forSpider-man 3as it is for every Marvel movie, fans can only speculate and use their imaginations.
