Early Spider-Man No Way Home Storyboard Reveals Recurring Villain

Who could this mysterious villain be?
Published on
Spider-Man No Way Home was one of the most exciting films in the MCU’s Phase 4 franchise, with countless recurring heroes and villains. However, it looks like there were plans to bring back a certain villain who knew Peter Parker was Spider-Man.
Storyboard artist for Spider-Man No Way Home, Phil Langone, revealed an early storyboard on Instagram that showed an angry Spidey taking on Mysterio. It’s not entirely clear how that would have worked since Jake Gyllenhaal’s character appeared to die in the previous Spider-Man film. You could have said he faked his death with a different illusion, but then that would clearly mean Peter Parker didn’t kill him, so maybe that’s why he didn’t show up.
This scene takes place after Aunt May’s death, which we saw in the final version of No Way Home. The biggest difference is that immediately after losing May, Peter loses his composure and beats up Mysterio like we’ve never seen him like this before. However, in the film, the web-slinger mostly keeps his emotions under control until he confronts Green Goblin.
Another big difference is that in this storyboard, J. Jonah Jameson is on hand when Spider-Man goes “berserk” and the slimy podcast host captures it all on video. This could have added an interesting layer to the growing public contempt for the hero. Of course, if Doctor Strange had erased everyone’s memory of Peter, the movie would probably still have ended the same way.
Spider-Man No Way Home is available to stream now with a Starz subscription.
