Now that most of the movie details have been revealed I thought you guys might be interested in knowing why they went this direction.
>At the start of production there were disagreements between Sony and Marvel Studios in what direction to go next. Marvel Studios wanted to do a more street level movie while Sony wanted to get bigger and outdo the previous film.
>An early pitch for the movie would've revolved around Spider-Man teaming up with Daredevil to stop Mayor Fisk after he outlaws vigilantes but was discarded as Feige didn't like the idea of connecting it so closely to a TV-MA Disney+ show.
>Sony wanted to bring back Toby and Andrew for the sequel and use their own Marvel characters like Tom Hardy's Venom and Miles Morales in a multiverse spanning movie where they would fight an all powerful villain like Knull but Marvel Studios was very against that believing they needed to deliver on the promise of No Way Home's ending.
>Sony ultimately agreed to doing a "street level" movie on the condition that they released the film in close proximity to Doomsday to build off the Avengers crossover's popularity to compensate for the smaller scale similar to Far From Home with Endgame.

>The second pitch by Marvel Studios was a film focused on Spider-Man obtaining the symbiote left behind by Venom in No Way Home. The film would've explored Spider-Man's dark side as he slips deeper into vigilantism. The villain would've been Mac Gargan with Michael Mando reprising his role from Homecoming as he transformers into Scorpion before becoming Venom in the final act. Punisher was meant to be the MCU star as there's a stipulation that some prominent MCU character needs to be involved in the film and marketing in every Spider-Man film produced by Marvel Studios. Black Cat would've been the love interest but would've been portrayed as more of an anti-hero character as opposed to a thief.
>Sony ultimately rejected many ideas from this pitch. First was that Sony didn't feel as though Punisher was a popular enough character to entice audiences to see the movie. They also refused to let Marvel use Black Cat as they were planning a Black Cat and Silver Sable spin-off themselves for their own cinematic universe. Marvel also decided to remove the symbiote from the story after the Russo's expressed having Spider-Man acquire it in Secret Wars.
>In the end, Marvel compromised by adding Hulk as the MCU character and changing the main theme of the film to being about "rage" and controlling it. Tombstone was added as the main villain pulling the strings as well as White Rabbit and Scorpion.

Spider Twink is aging out of the part. Guarantee he will still act like he’s 13 years old.

>Muh street level threat
Spider-Man is too OP for street level threats. He always were.
They had to nerf his Spider Sense in Civil War otherwise he would soundly beat Falcon and Bucky all by himself.
Why don't they just introduce Venon and Carnage already?

Two billion easily. Of course Sony are too retarded to actually do it.

>want street level stuff
>so they put the fucking Hulk in it
>Sony didn't want to put Black Cat in a Spider-man movie because they want to make some spin off instead

I believe every studio exec is a literal retard at this point.
