So right now, Spider-Man: Homecoming reportedly boasts three villains, and that's not including the common criminals that Spidey will likely be beating up at some point during the movie to show off his talents. Neither Marvel or Sony have yet to officially announce who the movie's villains will be, but right now, the various rumors and reports point to Michael Keaton playing The Vulture. While a villain hasn't been directly or indirectly assigned to Logan Marshall-Green yet, The Tinkerer has also been rumored to appear as the man who builds Vulture's flight suit. Bokeem Woodbine stands just as a good a chance of being Tinkerer as Marshall-Green, or he could be another secondary antagonist, like Shocker or Scorpion. He could even a corrupt, corporate figure who may be scheming against the main antagonist, but is still a bad person in their own right. Whoever he ends up being, it's understandable if Spider-Man fans are worried now about so many villains in the story.

Let's wind the clock back to 2007. After using Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus in Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2, respectively, Spider-Man 3 tripled its villain output with Sandman, New Goblin and Venom. While Sandman may have been adapted somewhat decently, New Goblin was simply Harry Osborn gliding around in a snowboarder-like outfit with Goblin weaponry, and the common consensus is that the movie's Venom was a pale imitation of his comic book counterpart, both in size and personality. Fast forward to 2014, where The Amazing Spider-Man 2's three villains were arguably treated worse. Paul Giamatti's Rhino was ridiculously campy during his 10-15 minutes of screen time (though you have to commend the actor for his enthusiasm), Jamie Foxx's Electro felt like a Batman Forever Riddler ripoff and while Dane DeHaan looked creepy as Green Goblin, the character felt more interesting when he was a normal guy rather than a mutated freak. Oh, and it's worth noting that both of these movies were the most negatively reviewed of all the Wall-Crawler's cinematic adventures.
