It’s clear that Tom Holland‘s Wall-Crawler will have his hands full in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Michael Mando will be suiting up as classic Spidey villain Scorpion and Tramell Tillman will be heading up Damage Control’s as the mutie-hating William Metzger, providing plenty of problems for Peter Parker. Throw in crime bosses Tombstone and Fredrick Foswell, Tombstone, Boomerang and Ramrod, along with a rampaging Hulk and, of course, Frank Castle punishing scum and it becomes clear that Brand New Day will be a very different film from any of its MCU predecessors.
First-time franchise director Destin Daniel Cretton looks to be building an entire world around the Webslinger unlike anything that’s been done in the genre to date. And in doing so, he may be preparing to introduce one of the most comic book locations in all of Marvel Comics: The Bar with No Name.
A slew of rumors made the rounds over the weekend, all of which claimed that the already impressive roster of villains in the new film would be further filled out than fans had been less to believe. Baddies such as The Enforcers, Miles Warren–aka the Jackal–and 8-Ball were each name dropped by industry insiders, adding to an already impressive cast of rogues. And with Cretton reportedly sticking close to the comics, The Bar with No Name is the perfect establishment to bring them all together while they lick their wounds.
Though it first appeared in Captain America #318, The Bar with No Name has frequently been seen in the pages of Spidey comics. While rumors of a montage of Spidey fighting villains have circulated for some time, it would be FAR more entertaining to see the hero track one of his foes to the bar only to find himself battling dozens of his enemies.
