Spider-Man 4 Expected to Feature Eight Villains Including Mister Negative

Marvel's upcoming Phase 6 film, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, will feature two major villains, including the devourer of worlds Galactus and the first-ever Fantastic Four adversary, Mole Man. Mole Man, a subterranean ruler with Moloids, is hinted at through mining set locations and an undisclosed actor rumored to be Paul Walter Hauser. Meanwhile, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, releasing in 2026, is rumored to showcase multiple villains, with Mr. Negative, a modern Marvel antagonist known for his dual personalities and powers, likely serving as the primary antagonist. Actor speculation for Mr. Negative includes Stephen Oyoung, who voiced the character in popular video games, and Steven Yeun, with the film also possibly featuring Jon Bernthal's Punisher and Mark Ruffalo's Hulk. These villain appearances indicate a complex and multi-faceted threat environment for Spider-Man, integrating familiar faces and new antagonists. Together, these films demonstrate Marvel Studios' commitment to expanding its cinematic universe with rich villain rosters and interconnected character arcs.
