While the spotlight is on Sink because all signs point to her playing a major Marvel character in the next Spider-Man movie, she and Tom Holland aren’t doing a two-person show. Other actors will appear in the film, and a recent report claims that one of them will play the boyfriend of Zendaya’s Michelle Jones. That’s all the information that’s out there at the moment, but the Internet is still running wild, theorizing about who could be keeping Peter’s spot next to MJ warm.
Out of all the names being thrown around, the one that comes up the most is Harry Osborn. He’s Peter’s best friend in the comics, and for whatever reason, he’s yet to pop up in the live-action Marvel Cinematic Universe. Introducing him as Peter’s rival instead of his ally would be a unique approach, but it would set the stage for a villain arc down the line. And the MCU might need him to fill that role sooner rather than later because it has already burned the Green Goblin bridge. The only thing standing in Harry’s way is Brand New Day‘s potentially bloated story.
