SPIDER-MAN 3 Production Start Date Revealed And It Sounds Like Spidey Will Be Swinging Into Iceland

Some interesting new details about the production schedule for the Spider-Man: Far From Home sequel and it sounds like the web-slinger will once again be travelling overseas. Read on for details...

According to ComicBook.com, the next Spider-Man movie will start shooting this July and production then runs right through until November. That all sounds pretty standard as we've known for a while that it will film this summer but it's the locations which are arguably most interesting.

Shooting will reportedly take place in Atlanta (Marvel's home away from home), New York City, Los Angeles, and Iceland! It's the latter location which is particularly interesting as the only other Marvel Studios movie to have visited that country is Thor: The Dark World.

What could take Spidey to such a desolate landscape?

Well, the site speculates that it could have something to do with Kraven the Hunter but that seems like a stretch. He is, of course, a top choice to be the movie's big bad so we'll see but with the web-slinger's secret identity outed to the world, this is going to be a very different take on Spider-Man.

Here's hoping some official details are revealed soon. With production kicking off as soon as July, casting news should be with us shortly and that will likely give us a better idea about the villain!

Which Sony characters would we love to see in
the MCU? Hit that "View List" button to find out!

Green Goblin

The priority for Marvel Studios appears to be focusing on villains who haven't been seen on the big screen before now but rumours persist that Norman Osborn is the mysterious "Benefactor" first referenced in Ant-Man and The Wasp.

If he is indeed pulling the strings from behind the scenes, then he needs to be both a Spider-Man villain and someone who grabs the attention of the rest of Earth's Mightiest Heroes as Norman is at his best when he's a true big bad.

Spider-Gwen

Spider-Gwen (or Spider-Woman as she's known in her own universe) is a character who will continue to make an impact in the Spider-Verse franchise but imagine how great a Disney+ series or live-action movie would be.

If anyone could successfully bring her into the same world as Tom Holland's web-slinger, it would be Kevin Feige as he's more than capable of spearheading an entire stable of Spidey spinoffs. Sony, on the other hand, really aren't.

Sandman

Sandman has already been done (extremely well too apart from that Uncle Ben nonsense) but he's a villain we'd actually only want to see briefly clash with Spider-Man before moving on to other things.

Whether it's as a member of the Frightful Four squaring off with the Fantastic Four or even as a remormed hero in The Avengers, there's potential for Flint Marko well beyond the wall-crawler's solo franchise.

Mayday Parker

Marvel Studios clearly intends to explore the wider Multiverse moving into Phase 4 and beyond and that opens the door to alternate timelines and different realities.

As a result, we could wind up meeting Peter Parker's future daughter, Mayday Parker/Spider-Girl. Sony could nail the essence of this hero but we wouldn't get to see future versions of The Avengers or what could one day become of the MCU!

Ben Reilly

"The Clone Saga" is quite frankly not something Sony should ever consider tackling without Sony's help. The heavy-handed, nonsensical way they tried to set up the Sinister Six in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 proves that!

Bringing Ben Reilly into the MCU would be a fascinating way to expand Spidey's legacy and while Miles Morales is a great character, it would be far more interesting finding out what becomes of Peter Parker when you take everything from him.

Spencer Smythe

Tony Stark's demise has left a huge void in the MCU...after all, who will now be the great pioneer of technology? Reed Richard is one obvious candidate, of course, but in terms of robotics, Spencer Smythe could easily attempt to step in!

Seeing the Spider-Slayers in action would be, well, amazing but Smythe could have an even bigger impact on the world than that, creating many other robotic or enhanced villains and possibly even bringing back Ultron if some handy retcons were made.

J. Jonah Jameson

J. Jonah Jameson can appear in the MCU but if recent rumours are to be believed, he'll mostly be used in the SUMC to bridge the gap between the two worlds.

You don't need us to tell you why that's a disappointing prospect because who wouldn't want to see Jonah butting heads with The Avengers or X-Men rather than the likes or Morbius or Venom?

Silvermane

Silvio Manfredi has frequently clashed with Spider-Man but he doesn't necessarily need to be a Spider-Man villain. A fierce crime lord with a robotic body, who wouldn't want to see him clash with heroes like Moon Knight or Daredevil instead?

Marvel Studios is embracing the supernatural heading into Phase 5 but we're also getting a lot of street level superheroes, so there are a lot of places he could make an impact in the MCU.

Spider-Man 2099

Why has this movie not happened already? One of the most popular alternate versions of Spider-Man, Miguel O'Hara will likely get to take centre stage in an animated setting a few years from now but he deserves better.

With time-travel and the like finally finding its way into the MCU, the door is wide open for Spider-Man 2099 to join Tom Holland's Peter Parker in his adventures.

Silver Sable

Silver Sable was going to be put into a movie alongside Black Cat but Silver & Black was scrapped and Sony is reportedly developing a solo outing that no one really needs or wants.

Sable makes for a much better supporting player and seeing her fight alongside Black Widow in that character's upcoming movie, for example, would be infinitely more gratifying that whatever else is currently planned for her.

Sinister Six

We're not talking about any specific iteration of the team here but rather the concept of the Sinister Six itself. Sony tried and failed to make this team happen but theories persist that they'll one day come to the MCU.

However, while it would be great to see Spidey battle his six greatest foes, it would be so much better for that happen with heroes from Marvel's shared world able to get involved as Peter might just need to lead his own team of Avengers to stop this faction.

Spider-Woman

Jessica Drew has been overlooked for far too long and its about damn time that she enters a live-action setting. Of course, the important thing to remember here is that, well, she doesn't need Spider-Man.

Their origin stories and powers aren't linked and while they're close allies, Jessica would be best served introduced in a completely different franchise so she can become a hero in her own right, something unlikely to work anywhere near as well in the SUMC.

Morbius

By the time you read this, the Morbius trailer will have either just arrived or be mere minutes away and, well, we're still willing to bet that the Living Vampire would have been better off in the MCU.

For starters, with Blade set to be introduced in the not too distant future, this character could have very easily tied into his return to the big screen and that alone is an exciting prospect, especially if it means we see Mahershala Ali vs. Jared Leto!

Chameleon

Another villain who doesn't necessarily need to be directly tied to Spider-Man, Chameleon is someone who could prove to be a frequent nuisance to everyone from Ant-Man to Black Panther and She-Hulk.

His ability to change his appearance was basically teased in Captain America: The Winter Soldier and it's such a waste that he's gathering dust on a shelf rather than being able to make his presence felt across multiple franchises.

Black Cat

Like Silver Sable, Black Cat is now expected to get her own movie but the fact she's going to exist in a world where Spider-Man is only vaguely referenced is a crying shame given the history between the two characters.

Exploring their romance in the MCU is a must, while a redemption arc for Felicia Hardy could have even led to her joining the ranks of A-Force if and when that Avengers spinoff happens.

Madame Web

Now that Marvel Studios has introduced the concept of the Multiverse, Madame Web is definitely a character who would fit right in in a world that's clearly never going to be the same again.

Honestly, though, one of our biggest reasons for wanting to see Madame Web in the MCU is to just stop that silly sounding solo movie from happening over at Sony Pictures!

Mister Negative

The Spider-Man video game mostly proved that Mister Negative isn't really a character you build an entire story around (things didn't really get great until Doc Ock showed up) but he's still someone who could do an awful lot in a movie.

Like Silverman, Negative doesn't have to be tied to Spider-Man in any way and could instead make for a far more effective villain in any number of other properties (a future Shang-Chi movie, for example).

Kraven The Hunter

It's widely believed that Kraven the Hunter will be the lead villain in the Spider-Man: Far From Home sequel and, honestly, we hope that happens because it would a) be spectacular and b) mean that the rumoured solo movie doesn't get made.

That aside, though, and it's a real shame that Kraven doesn't call the MCU home, especially after Ryan Coogler revealed that he once wanted the classic Spidey villain to square off with Black Panther!

Venom

There's a very strong chance that at some point over the next few years, we will see Spider-Man cross paths with Venom. On the one hand, that's easy to get excited about but on the other...well, it will be Sony in charge!

They've still not done enough to prove that they can be trusted with any of these characters and just picture how cool it would have been for Spidey to find the symbiote during the events of Avengers: Infinity War...

Doctor Octopus

Otto Octavius is a villain who definitely deserves to be brought back to the big screen and, given what a mastermind he is, he just so happens to also be someone who could easily terrorise the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a whole.

Whether that's as the leader of the Sinister Six or inside Peter Parker's body after he steals his mind, he's a character who the MCU would greatly benefit from. A fun way to tie him into the wider MCU would be making his additional arms Wakandan in nature!

Do you agree that these characters would be better served in the MCU rather than the SUMC? Are there others you would add to the list? Let us know down in the comments section.

FFH was a big drop off from Homecoming (Mysterio did his thing though). Hopefully they go out with a bang.

knocturnalzen10 - 1/16/2020, 12:28 PM

@BlackBeltJones - only manner i think without involving Norman is Kraven or SS , and you're right i think Jake did well with what he was given but Keaton was top notch villain wise .

GhostDog - 1/16/2020, 12:29 PM

@knocturnalzen10 - Kraven seems like the best way to with how they left FFH

knocturnalzen10 - 1/16/2020, 12:32 PM

@BlackBeltJones - last hunt would be a great angle , and he definitely needs to stay in NY for this one .

SpideyPuffsMJ - 1/16/2020, 12:27 PM

NEW YORK CITY

Nightwing1015 - 1/16/2020, 12:28 PM

They should really keep him in New York now. I can't believe they're still trying to make themselves different from the Raimi films. The last few scenes of FFH when he was in NY was so great to see. They should keep him there now.

Nightwing1015 - 1/16/2020, 12:29 PM

Sinister 6 should be the antagonists of Spider-Man 4.

GhostDog - 1/16/2020, 12:31 PM

@Nightwing1015 - I get dodging the origin re-tread. I appreciate that. That makes sense in differing yourself from Raimi. We all know the origin by now.

But Spidey IS NEW YORK CITY. Its like taking Batman out of Gotham over and over in his solo films. I'm not saying he ca';t venture out but everything should lead back to the Big Apple eventually.
