Spider-man 4: here are 5 potential villains for tom Holland’s Marvel film
The fourth Spider-Man film starring Tom Holland will be released in July 2026. Sadie Sink will play a leading female role, but who will be the main villain ? After several films, many iconic adversaries have already been used. “No Way Home” even revisited villains from previous sagas through the multiverse. Which antagonists remain available to challenge our hero ? Here are five candidates who could give the spider-man a hard time.
Felicia Hardy/Black Cat
Felicia Hardy oscillates between enemy and romantic interest for Spider-Man. This agile thief possesses “bad luck” powers against her adversaries. Despite her popularity, Black Cat has never shined on screen. Anne Hathaway was supposed to portray her in Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man 4” before it was canceled. Felicity Jones briefly played Felicia in “The Amazing Spider-Man 2.”
She was only an Oscorp secretary, never in costume. The timing would be ideal to introduce her. She loves Spider-Man but not Peter Parker. Following “No Way Home,” where everyone forgot Peter, this dilemma would be fascinating. Black Cat lacks the stature to be the main antagonist. She would be more convincing as an ambiguous ally against a greater threat.
Mac Gargan/Scorpion
Scorpion is a classic adversary never seen in live-action. This detective-turned-supervillain represents a significant physical challenge. Michael Mando already portrayed him in “Homecoming.”
He appeared as an ordinary criminal swearing vengeance against Spider-Man. Scorpion has gained visibility in the Disney+ series “Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.” This could prepare for his return to the big screen.
Wilson Fisk/Kingpin
Fans have been demanding a confrontation between Spider-Man and Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin since 2015. Kingpin began as Spider-Man’s enemy. Matt Murdock has already appeared in “No Way Home.” Including Kingpin seems logical.
D’Onofrio has denied his participation. “Daredevil : Born Again” shows Fisk becoming an anti-vigilante mayor. This situation should affect Spider-Man, an iconic New York vigilante. Kingpin could incorporate other characters. He hates Black Cat and could employ Scorpion as his henchman.
Martin Li/Mister Negative
“Homecoming” promised a hero handling “small problems.” His subsequent adventures became cosmic and multiversal. A return to local stakes would be welcome. Martin Li, philanthropist by day and gangster by night, would be perfect.
His distinctive appearance and “Darkforce” powers give him superhuman strength and mental abilities. He challenges Spider-Man physically and intellectually. Created in 2008, he became popular thanks to the video game “Marvel’s Spider-Man.” The big screen could be his next step.

Venom
Let’s forget Tom Hardy’s anti-hero version. Let’s return to the basics : Venom as Spider-Man’s obsessional adversary. The “black suit saga” could be revisited. The symbiote bonds with Peter, enhances him, then reveals its toxic nature.
In the comics, Spider-Man acquires the symbiote during “Secret Wars.” And “Avengers : Secret Wars” is scheduled for 2027. This timeline could adjust if Marvel wants to establish Venom’s origins in the MCU.
Conclusion
“Spider-Man 4” will arrive on July 31, 2026. Its plot remains secret, but there are numerous possibilities for antagonists. Between Black Cat, Scorpion, Kingpin, Mister Negative, and Venom, Marvel and Sony have plenty of choices.
Sadie Sink’s character will add an extra dimension to the story. The answer in less than two years, when the spider-man returns to the big screen.
