It would be a hilarious callback if there was a follow-up interview where the interviewer was like, "You lied to me." And Charlie was like, "Yes, I'm a very good ~~actor~~."

Maybe I am forgetting my Marvel lore here but who would a bunch of ninjas be other than The Hand? And if it is The Hand, Charlie Cox has to be lying through his teeth, right?

Not only that, but The Hand wears red and so do those ninjas in the poster.

Eh, Spider-Man historically shares a lot of enemies with Daredevil. Kingpin, for instance, is often thought of as a purely Daredevil villain, but Spidey has a long, long history with him.

In this case, though, Charlie Cox is almost certainly lying, since Matt Murdock already has appeared in an MCU Spider-Movie.

Personally I’m not that enthused about the Hand being in this. I enjoyed S2 the least of the original Daredevil run on Netflix.

I normally like Scott Glenn, but I just didn’t enjoy all the mysticism and “eternal conflict” and unkillable ninja stuff. It didn’t really fit the “street level” vibe the rest of the show was going for, I felt, and I think the same is true of Spidey, even if the MCU version has been involved in some pretty big, way higher than street level stuff so far.

I hope the unkillable ninjas are a relatively small b plot in this movie.

But don't forget the Inverse Ninja Law: the threat level of a ninja is inversely proportional to their number. A single ninja is an unstoppable elite, while an army of them is cannon fodder.

Spidey should easily wipe the floor with these guys.

I would much rather have this movie be about guys like the Enforcers (the only Spidey villains apparently not in the movie), the Scorpion, etc.

I know there's a lot of reverence for Frank "I Love Ninjas" Miller's Daredevil run, so I rolled with it there, but yeah, it's not the flavor I'd go with for Spider-Man.

More than just the ninjas, though, I'm mostly worried this movie is very overstuffed, unless most of the bad guys we've seen are just in it for a scene or two, showing us Spidey as a street level hero. If we have to engage with this a good portion of this giant cast, it's going to make for a very crowded movie.

Yep classic Spiderman 3 concern. We don't need 10 plots and 5 villains.
