![]() ![]() Spider-Man: No Way Homeofficially dismissed any lingering threat that Scorpion posed, making the first MCU Spider-Man post-credits scene pointless. The introduction of Scorpion in Spider-Man: Homecoming’s post-credits scene was promising but was quickly made meaningless by the movie’s sequels. However, it is disappointing to see a potentially successful villain arc go to waste. The MCU is not impervious to mistakes, plot holes, or inconsistencies. If Scorpion is going to have a future in the MCU, the movies will need to pivot his motivations and strategies in order to pose a believable threat to Peter. The idea that Scorpion would set about trying to learn Spider-Man’s identity – and have even a tiny chance of succeeding – was killed by the ending of Spider-Man: No Way Home. It’s not too late for the MCU to include Scorpion in future Spider-Man movies, but the threat developed in the Spider-Man: Homecoming post-credits scene cannot now be a part of his storyline. The MCU Spider-Man films set up a potential future villain, but they have yet to seize any of the opportunities to use him. Scorpion’s threat is now even further from becoming a real danger than when it was first introduced. Then, when Spider-Man: No Way Home ended with everyone forgetting that Peter Parker is Spider-Man – including Peter’s own friends and colleagues – the danger of Scorpion learning Spider-Man’s real identity from the Vulture, or anyone else, became nearly impossible. However, despite Scorpion learning the very thing he wanted to learn in order to exact his revenge, his threat was ignored and he was not featured at all in Spider-Man: No Way Home. The big identity reveal created the perfect opportunity to follow through on the Spider-Man: Homecoming post-credits scene. ![]() ![]() When Spider-Man: Far From Home ended with the whole world discovering that Peter Parker is Spider-Man, that danger dwarfed the threat of one villain uncovering Peter’s identity. The following Spider-Man movies never followed through on that threat, but even more than that, they made it inconsequential - twice. Spiderman: Homecoming set up a major threat of Scorpion discovering Peter Parker’s identity and using it to harm him. ![]()
