Spider-Man: No Way Home

Spider - Man : No Way Homefeatures the proceeds of Sandman as a baddie , instigate devotee to enquire if the MCU is attempting to retcon the wide pannedSpider - homo 3 .   The ending of Sam Raimi ’s 2007 threequel seems to suggest that the character save himself and made peace withTobey Maguire ’s version of Spider - Man . However , when look a little further at Sandman ( aka Flint Marko ) , it in reality makes a luck of sense why he would render to the bighearted silver screen as a villain .

Despite whatSpider - Man 3suggests , Sandman rejoin as a villain inNo Way Homewould not be a retcon of the previous pic . Sandman ’s action inSpider - Man 3as well as how his primary motivation drives him to commit such actions make it clear that he is far from redeemed despite the film intimate otherwise . This lack of redemption will likely sway over and could be a major factor in the character ’s arc inNo Way Home .

Flint Marko ’s   motivation inSpider - Man 3is simply to get money for his girl ’s cancer discourse . While this by itself is an improbably sympathetic motivation , it also drives him to commit his worst action at law and team up with fellow supervillains . Venom is able to get Sandman to join him by play on his anger over being unable to serve Penny and the blame he places on Spider - Man . The same thing can happen inNo Way Home , where a baddie — likely Green Goblin — will use centime as a way to convert   her founder to join their side . No matter what ,   the persona will do whatever he can to assist his daughter ,   irrespective of how immoral it is . And if he ca n’t , then he will make whoever he view as responsible pay .

Adding on to that , Spider - Man 3shows   Marko making serenity with the paries - crawler . While this ends the type on a cocksure bank bill , this does n’t needs mean he is ransom . Before this , he helps Venom kidnap Mary Jane and endangers several innocent lives just to draw out Spider - Man with the intent to kill him . Earlier in the film his late robberies also led to several civilians and police officer being severely bruise , if not outright defeat .   And unlikeSpider - human race 2’sDoc Ockand   Harry Osborn ,   Sandman does n’t take any natural action to try out he ’s truly change for the better aside from lamenting about the consequence of his misdeeds . Even then , he tries to claim that he ’s not a defective individual , just someone with big luck . This line shew that although he regrets the centering his actions took , he still feel they are absolve .

in the end , Sandman returning as a villain inSpider - Man : No Way Homedoes not retconSpider - mankind 3because the original film did not amply pay off his character . He ’s certainly not completely evil , but there ’s still a lot of work to be done on his part before one can say that he is no longer a villain . Given the moving picture ’s already massive telescope , it ’s ill-defined whetherNo Way Homewill be capable to full address this . However , ifTobey Maguire ’s Spider - Man does indeed return , he may be able to help Sandman see the error of his ways and change by reversal to the side of good .
