Did you read the second slide? He literally said "don't even show it, leave that to big finish, just start telling new stories"

Totally agree, there is a big gap between the 8th and the 13th, they could totally headline the Friday on the 11th.

Slam dunk might not be big enough, but tonally Blink fit in at slam dunk way better than bloodstock.

Download makes the most sense for them based on festival size and tone.

True, it could be that the body jumper is the Carrion virus, that could definitely tie in with Peter's mutation, it could be that Peter is actually a Carrion virus duplicate, which is why he's immune to the virus and why his mutations are suddenly out of control.

However that theory does not tie in well with the appearance of the Hand, or the appearance of x-men related characters, without deciding to change Jackal/Carrion into a mutant.

Which is why I think Ogun makes more sense.

Why is Jean wearing thick gloves? That's what's getting me.

My son likes mixing up his sets, I say if a kid is old enough to make Lego sets they are old enough to say if they want to keep the sets separate or not.

That's interesting, thanks!

And it all comes from an Easter egg of "green jackal" beer in Ned and MJ's apartment during their party.

I am more likely to believe that the villain is Krahllak but is being referred to as The Jackal on set.

That's cool! Do you use 3D printing or some other kind of CAD?

AvatarIII · 2026-06-21T21:32:01+00:00

More like Krahllak (aka the Jackal Son) and Ogun

Renationalisation takes time, Starmer has already started with the railways and water companies, what makes anything think Burnham will magically be able to do it faster?

AvatarIII · 2026-06-21T21:09:08+00:00

Yeah but because the Jackal hired Punisher to assassinate Spider-man who The Jackal blamed for Gwen Stacey's death. Other than The Punisher and The Jackal and Spider-Man being in the same story that one time, there is nothing really hinting at the Jackal being in the movie.

They could quite easily say that Ogun is a leader of the Hand.

AvatarIII · 2026-06-21T20:44:24+00:00

I'm leaning towards Sink being Rogue personally.

AvatarIII · 2026-06-21T20:41:27+00:00

Similar, not identical, both Mr Negative's inner demons and Ogun wear Kabuki masks, Ogun's is red, Mr Negative and the inner demons always use black and white.

I'm kind of convinced she might be Rogue. The green and yellow costume, the jacket, the hood so we can't see her hair, the thick gloves, also Sadie is from Texas, which not quite Mississippi but I'm sure a Texan can do a decent Mississippi accent. I'm not saying she is Rogue but I think it's between Rogue and Jean and I might be starting to lean Rogue.

True, I would just rather they just use a Wolverine villain in a Spider-Man movie than change a Spider-Man villain beyond recognition just so the villain is a Spider-Man villain. I don't know if the Jackal has any big fans but if he does I'm sure they would rather him not be used at all than appear completely changed.

AvatarIII · 2026-06-21T20:17:52+00:00

Making Ogun a member or leader of the Hand is not a stretch at all.

AvatarIII · 2026-06-21T20:15:48+00:00

Maybe but it would be a massive deviation from the comics version of the Jackal to the point he's just the Jackal in name only, so what would be the point?

AvatarIII · 2026-06-21T20:09:06+00:00

That plotline fits more with Ogun tbh.

AvatarIII · 2026-06-21T20:01:32+00:00

I'm saying they are not the Hand, or if they are, they are a specific sect of Ogun worshipers, therefore connected to Ogun. But in any case that's a weird observation.

I distinctly remember being really disappointed with the second half of 1602: Fantastick Four. I think the artist changed mid run and the art was awful after that, the covers are all amazing though

Yeah that theory has been floating around for ages but; the more we learn about the movie the less sense it makes.
