Marvel is keeping the main villain for the next Spider-Man movie, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, a secret. While Scorpion, Tombstone, Boomerang, and Tarantula are all confirmed or rumored to appear as enemies for Tom Holland’s Peter Parker, it’s unclear who will be the central threat.
It’s hard to pinpoint a single main villain in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Characters like Scorpion and Boomerang seem more like supporting villains or hired muscle. While Tombstone, a Marvel Comics gangster, could be the main threat, the story also features the Hulk and Punisher, making it unlikely he’s the core problem.
A brief summary of the plot has given us a better idea of what’s happening in the story. While it doesn’t reveal who the villain is, it does hint at the problems Spider-Man will be dealing with. It seems he’ll be investigating a series of recent crimes, and while several comic book villains could be responsible, one seems like the most likely suspect.
Crime-Master Is A Strong Candidate For Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s Villain
The description for Spider-Man: Brand New Story suggests that Peter Parker might not know the villain’s identity either, putting him on a quest to find out. If the film plans to center around a mystery and an investigation led by Peter, Crime-Master could be an ideal villain for the story.
The character known as Crime-Master first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #27 in 1965. He was a masked gangster who competed with the Green Goblin for power in the criminal world. Spider-Man initially believed Crime-Master was a man named Frederick Foswell, but he didn’t discover the truth about his identity until after he died.
Over time, several different characters have become Crime-Master, including the original, Nick “Lucky” Lewis, who was brought back. Though various people have used the name, the core idea behind Crime-Master has stayed the same: he’s a shadowy villain who relies on trickery and deception to defeat his enemies.
Considering the villain’s motives and the crimes Spider-Man is investigating, it’s possible he’s facing a similar situation to those caused by past Crime-Master villains in the comics. It’s quite possible this person is the one pulling the strings.
In Marvel Comics, the Crime-Master’s identity is designed to be changeable, which helps keep readers guessing. Because the Crime-Master isn’t tied to one specific character, the story can present several possible suspects, adding to the mystery.
Rumors suggest Frederick Foswell, also known as The Big Man, might appear in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. This supports the theory that the Crime-Master is behind the upcoming challenges Peter Parker will face, as Foswell was originally used as a pawn by Nick “Lucky” Lewis.
