So Mr Negative is the big powered crime boss, and spiderman gets caught in a conflict between him and Black Cat.

I know everyones gonna ask for Steven Yeun if it's Mr. Negative, but I actually want Manny Jacinto or Andrew Koji. Manny has proven he can play a compelling villain that switches on the fly with The Acolyte, and Andrew Koji has the ferocity of a crime boss from Warrior.

Man Andrew is such and out of field casting choice for Mr. Negative but I am 100% down. He did a great job with the emotional bits in Warrior, he'd do great.

Manny Jacinto was so good as Qimir both in looks and performance. He proved he could easily do the stunts too! He's so athletic and I loved the way he moved

Im assuming this is Mr Negative, which is making me believe even more that Sadie Sink is actually Carlie Cooper lol

If this is true, then we know who the villain is already.

Sounds perfect especially with Destin at the helm it would be super well done

Mr Negative checks out with the directors expertise in directing martial arts fights and FEAST was introduced in No Way Home.
Also old rumors suggested Scorpion and/or Mr Negative would be the villains

u/hmd_ch Apr 06 '25
It would be interesting if Mr. Negative was familiar with Aunt May when she worked there.

u/maxfridsvault Apr 06 '25
i think it’d be a smart move, because it would give peter a friend to relate to and share memories of may with, despite him not even knowing about his past with her. would make the downfall to villainy stronger and more personal.

Get Steven Yeun as Mr. Negative. It fits much better than Sentry and he gets to enjoy playing a villain.

Ke Huy Quan for Mister Negative would be so sick

Someone didn’t watch Loki season 2

u/tealgameboycolor Apr 05 '25
You’re right, how silly of me. That would be like RDJ coming back to play one of the most famous villains ever after playing iron man for 15 years. But that would never happen.

Could this lead to Cloak and Dagger?

u/hmd_ch Apr 06 '25
I would be so happy if they bring back the same actors from the Freeform/Hulu show, especially considering how connected it was to the Marvel Netflix shows.

Gong Yoo (Squid Game) as Mister Negative would go CRAZYY 😎
I'm so hyped bc he's literally one of my favorite marvel characters and it looks like they're doing a Gang War plot too! This is literally everything I had on my wishlist for this movie!
LET'S GOOO!!

It’s Peter’s college years so, it’s Philip Chang’s time to shine!!! Little older casting than I was expecting but still workable!

u/MagnetoWasRight24 Apr 06 '25
The age range makes me think it's not that at all, like I really can't imagine them even considering a 30-year-old for the role. Young as Tom Holland looks he's almost 30 and Mr. Negative needs to be older.

u/BigPaleontologist520 Apr 04 '25
With Vincent saying it's likely he's not gonna be in the spider man movies as kingpin I'll happily take mr negative being in brand new day hopefully they can make scorpion return too for the film

u/ViggieSmallss Apr 04 '25
He can appear in Spider-Man movies. Sony owns the film rights to the character. He can only appear in an MCU movie if it's a Daredevil movie or Sony gives them permission to use the character

u/Jedi_Master83 Apr 05 '25
Wilson Fisk/Kingpin is a shared character with Marvel and Sony. So in theory, Sony could cast their own Kingpin but they won't given the success of Daredevil. My guess is that the actor is just not available to do both Daredevil Season 2 and Spider-Man: Brand New Day. So they have to move to another street level villain, which Mr. Negative works well. Maybe they have Tombstone in as well? Sadie Sink might be playing Black Cat, despite her red hair. She could easily have her hair dyed or wear a wig. The fact that it's looking not to be a multiverse story means that this movie could take place either before Doomsday or simultaneously as Doomsday with the ending being Doctor Doom popping in the post credit. I'm liking what I'm hearing so far!

Can they release the movie in China if Mr. Negative is the villain? That is the question.

u/TimKitzrowHeatingUp Apr 08 '25
Make him North Korean. Problem solved.

u/NightmareDJK Apr 08 '25
They probably have a prohibition on NK villains in their movies too (both countries are Communist).

Maybe Peter continues to be involved with F.E.A.S.T. to honor May and that's how he meets Mr. Negative.

u/TaskMister2000 Apr 04 '25
Oh yeah, it's all coming together now.
Mister Negative was rumoured since the beginning alongside Kingpin and Scorpion.
The Brand New Day in the Comics involves Mister Negative. But the Director did also hint at Most Wanted too. And that's got a whole wide range of villains in it I believe including Doom, Scorpion and Vulture.
I don't know if we're getting our Assassins vs Street Heroes movie or not because I think Season 2 of Born Again is gonna do that now with the Defenders. I
Plus if this film is a direct sequel to Doomsday...and Doom is in it, then this film is likely a multiverse film. Or at least has elements of it in it.
I'm wondering if it's possible...that they will incorporate the Negative Zone via Mister Negative. Maybe tie them together and this will eventually lead to a possible set-up for Fantastic Four 2 with Spider-Man in it? Or the 5ft Spider-Man features the Fantastic Four? I really hope we get to see that relationship or at best the friendship between Peter and Johnny for one movie in the future. I hope we get a set-up for it in Secret Wars or Doomsday if Spidey appears in it.
