Spider - Manvillains from across the multiverse will chit-chat the MCU inSpider - Man : No Way dwelling house , and Doc Ock might not be the only redeemable one . Tom Holland ’s Spider - Man trilogyis set to reason on an unprecedented note , with characters from the Sam Raimi and Marc WebbSpider - Manfranchises interacting with each other and the MCU via their supervillains ( and , if rumors are to be believed , the previous two iteration of Spider - Man ) . Most of the scoundrel shown inNo Way Home’strailers are n’t quite “ evil , ” and some of them even redeemed themselves in their respective movies , admit Doctor Octopus , most notably .
TheSpider - Mancomics and films are renowned for their comparative naturalism . While the major power and technology in Spider - Man ’s story are outlandish , the people who use them are written realistically . Peter Parker only get using his powersto help others after his shortsighted selfishness caused the death of his uncle ( and father material body ) . Meanwhile , characters like Sandman and Electro use their abilities to send crimes , often for morally complex cause that make them sympathetic villains .

Although only so much can be extrapolated from a movie trailer , especially one for an MCU motion picture ( turn over Marvel Studios ’ reputation for mismanagement in their marketing),No Way Home ’s 2nd dawdler implies that Doctor Octopus might not be Peter ’s adversary for the entire film . Octavius attacks Spider - Man at first , but other scenes show him speaking sedately to his Peter Parker alter ego without enmity . This implies that perhapsDoc Ock will overwhelm the malicious influenceof his tentacles ’ AI and become his normal , philanthropic ego once again . The same could potentially be pronounce for Sandman , The Lizard , and perhaps even Electro , all of whom are confirmed to return in the trailer .
The Sandman , aka Flint Marko , became a criminal out of desperation to economize his terminally - sick daughter , as demonstrate inSpider - Man 3 . Though he tried to kill Spider - Man , Marko redeem himself by the end of the film . The Amazing Spider - Man’sCurt Connors , aka The Lizard , had a similar villain origin toSpider - Man 2’sDoctor Octopus , with James Scott Connors being a kind man whose nous was neuter by a failed experiment . Without the influence of his regenerative reptilian blood serum , Jimmy Conors helped bothPeter Parker and Spider - Man .
Max Dillon is a bit more complicated , however , as he compulsively idolise Spider - Man before becoming Electro , becoming a destructive supervillain after feeling denounce and forgotten by the WWW - slinger . Still , Dillon is not a fundamentally malicious person but rather someone who ’s underappreciated and in need of a healthy emotional connection . The only villain shown inNo Way Home’strailer who ’s likely beyond buyback is Norman Osborn , aka the Green Goblin . Before his mind snapped , the Goblin formula brought out the worst aspect of Osborn , who was already a ruthless business enterprise tycoon and an unethical scientist .
Considering that Doc Ock and Sandman both redeem themselves in their respective movies , No Way Homeraises some interesting questionsregarding their unmistakable return to villainy . Could they each have been pulled out of their universe at different points in the timeline ( before their respective redemptions ) ? prison term will tell , but the possibleness for salvation also cooccur with Peter ’s indisposition to condemn them to their seemingly foreordain decease . Though visually - spectacular fight scenes are to be expect inSpider - Man : No Way abode , perhaps Peter Parker manages to get through to Doc Ock and some of the other supervillains , redeeming them rather of kill them .
