Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse without a shadow of a doubt is one of 2018's sleeper hit films and if we're being honest, not a lot of people were expecting the animated movie to be a massive success both critically and financially and after it dropped, pretty much everyone was blown away.

The film's unprecedented success has led to Sony greenlighting a sequel which would've come out this April. So far, we still know very little about the project but considering it still carries the "Spider-Verse" title, we can safely assume that characters from the first film like Peter B. Parker, Spider-Gwen, and Spider-Ham, among others will once again be joining Miles Morales.

It was also teased during the film's post-credits scene that the futuristic version of Spidey Miguel O'Hara aka Spider-Man 2099 will also be making an appearance.

Now, as for Into theSpider-Verse 2's main baddie, the folks who saw the 2018 blockbuster would assume that Kingpin would make his return considering that he has a major score to settle with New York's new Spider-Man Miles Morales but according to a new report from Murphy's Multiverse, someone else could be wreaking havoc into the multiverse and it's not Wilson Fisk.

A source close to the entertainment site claims that the obscure Spidey villain Dr. Jonathan Ohnn aka The Spot will be the key villain of the sequel. To those unaware, The Spot has the ability to create portals on his body which allows him to teleport from one place to another. He's also had several encounters with Daredevil in the comics.

This report has yet to be confirmed so, of course, take it with a grain of salt but considering how over-the-top The Spot is in the comics, it would make sense for him to be used in an animated project instead of live-action. The question is, will the second Spider-Verse film be able to top its predecessor? I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2 is slated for release in 2022.
