Fourth entry to the MCU Spider-Man Saga and the beginning of a new trilogy. Film opens with Spider-Man fighting the MCU variant of Sandman and him using the cure from NWH to defeat him. He keeps tabs on those villains in his world but hasn't found any sign of Osborn. Wilson Fisk and J. Jonah Jameson run against each other for Mayor of New York while targeting masked street level heroes. Jameson takes it a step further by working with the infamous Scorpion to kill Spider-Man for his supporters. On the otherside, Kingpin hires the Prowler for protection and any other job he needs off the books...Peter Parker, now a college student living alone in NYC, keeps up with his old friends online and still struggles with losing them after the spell in NWH. Spider-Man, however, makes a new friend in Daredevil, and a new romance with the Black Cat. The film would end with JJJ being exposed for working with Scorpion and losing the election to Kingpin. Scorpion is defeated in battle and presumed dead by Spider-Man, however, one of the after credit scenes shows him recovering in Mexico where the venom symbiote left by the Eddie Brock varient in NWH finds him.
