We're still a few months away from the premiere of Spider-Man: No Way Home but this early in the game, the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe flick is already shattering records and clearly, fans are more than ready to witness arguably the biggest comic book film to date. The said film will see Tom Holland's Peter Parker square off against multiple villains, the most any standalone Spider-Man flick has seen, in fact.


The trailer teases the members of the "multiversal" Sinister Six potentially comprised of members Doc Ock, Electro, Green Goblin, Sandman, and Lizard. However, we didn't get a glimpse of the sixth and final villain from the internet-breaking teaser but according to late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, Marvel and Sony have been saving the coveted spot for him.

In a hysterical post spoofing the trailer, Kimmel jokingly revealed that he'll be playing the iconic Spidey villain Kraven the Hunter in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Going all out with the sketch, Kimmel can be seen sporting the character's signature furry costume that resembles a Lion. Obviously, he's just trying to mess with actor Tom Holland whom he did a hilarious Spidey sketch in the past. Check out the clip here:

Of course, we all know that Kraven the Hunter will be played by Quicksilver actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson in a standalone Sony film. While it would've made a lot of sense for the character to become part of the MCU's Sinister Six given his comic book ties to the group, Marvel and Sony are making the right call by featuring established characters in the lineup. As it stands, it's safe to assume that the final man will be Jake Gyllenhaal's Mysterio.

Spider-Man: No Way Home will be released in cinemas on December 17, 2021.
