Perez went on to further note, "Multiple villains from Spider-Man's lore were also in consideration for the plot of this film."

"New villains like the Maggia, Mister Negative, Spencer Smythe, as well as some old revamped villains such as MacDonald “Mac” Gargan as Scorpion, and even Aaron Davis as Prowler were being considered as a part of this movie," he concluded. "Marvel still intends to tell this story… but we may have to wait a bit longer." However, as neither Marvel Studios nor Disney have officially confirmed this rumor, it should be taken with a grain of salt at this time.

Tying into this, Perez delved into another rumor in March that affirmed that Peter Parker might become less prominent in his alter ego's life, conveying at the time, "The idea now moving forward is to give him a sense of independence. In his mind, Peter Parker is no more… but Spider-Man lives on." Perez further avowed that as the title of Spider-Man "continues to consume Peter's life little by little," Peter Parker "will take a back seat and continue to fade from existence slowly," concluding that this story point "can be compared to Robert Pattinson’s Batman in The Batman."
