Rumors About the Fourth Spider-Man Movie
Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 4 has been the subject of a lot of excitement and speculation amongst fans. From what we gather, there are a number of rumors floating around about potential villains the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) release might feature.
Popular Villains in the Rumor Mill
One of the main rumors is about Mister Negative, a ubiquitous protagonist in the comic books, playing a pivotal role in the next Spider-Man film. Concurrently, fan theories suggest that an antagonist from Spider-Man: Far From Home, Chameleon, might also return.
Various scenarios have been deliberated about how Chameleon could possibly become part of the Spider-Man 4 plot. This becomes a realistic option for the MCU creators even if Mister Negative is included in the sequel.
Chameleon’s Significance in the Spider-Man Universe
The character of Chameleon, aka Dmitri Smerdyakov, had a relatively minor role in Far From Home, though his importance in the comic books cannot be overlooked. This antagonist was played by Numan Acar in the 2019 movie. Chameleon, known as the first Spider-Man villain, hails from the debut issue of The Amazing Spider-Man comic which was published in March 1963.
How Chameleon Can Be Re-introduced in Spider-Man 4
A fan theory making waves on Reddit suggests two foolproof ways to bring Chameleon back in Spider-Man 4. Dmitri, who was a part of Nick Fury’s team, could either receive Skrull body part transplants or be revealed as a Skrull operative all along. Either method would provide MCU bosses with a formidable villain to include in the next film.
Another possibility is that Chameleon could return by using Mysterio’s Binarily Augmented Retro-Framing (BARF) technology. This tech, which featured in Far From Home, creates convincing illusions and could genuinely drive the narrative in Spider-Man 4.
The Skrull Path Versus the BARF Path
Skrulls, introduced in Captain Marvel, and Chameleon share a common power in the comics – shape-shifting. Chameleon usually acquires these powers using a special serum. However, another option could be granting Dmitri access to Mysterio’s BARF technology which allows him to create illusions of shape-shifting, sparing him from biological changes.
Future Steps for Chameleon’s Character
In any case, both possible inclusions offer a refreshing perspective as regards Chameleon’s return – a Skrull transformation or the use of BARF technology. Such a character revival would depart from the comics and give the supervillain a fresh lease on life in the Spider-Man series.
The fourth installment of Spider-Man does not yet have a confirmed release date, but fans can enjoy Spider-Man: Far From Home on Disney+. However, until official news is released by MCU, fans will eagerly continue to speculate about the fates of Mister Negative and Chameleon in the eagerly awaited sequel.
