Since we saw Andrew Garfield return as his Spider-Man in No Way Home, I did have some thoughts should a third film come to pass from Sony: During No Way Home, Peter has never been able to move on from Gwen’s death and became more violent as Spider-Man. Since saving Peter-1’s MJ, he has found closure to his failure. I think this should explore Peter going back into his civilian life after being Spider-Man non-stop and establish a relationship with his version of Mary Jane Watson. I found out Dane DeHaan said he has no interest in returning to his roll of Harry Osborn so it could be established that Peter killed him a few years ago during another encounter. I think that his version of the Vulture would be a good start for a new villain, but I’d rather it be someone else because I believe the SSU and the TASM universes are separate. I rather have Tom Hardy’s Venom be saved for Tom Holland’s Peter Parker because it’d be a waste to go back on something that failed despite the success of the character in No Way Home.
