Words cannot express the collected sigh of relief and the joyous elation Marvel fans around the world felt when Disney and Sony finally came to an arrangement that brought our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man back to the realm of the MCU. Now that Peter Parker is back where he belongs, what adventures will he go on now?
Though a third Spider-Man film is currently in the works, we can't help but imagine what web-swinging stories we'd love to see on the silver screen now that he's back in the MCU. There are hundreds of spectacular Spider-Man stories, but we've picked ten we'd really love to see.
The Alien Suit Saga
There are few looks for the wall-crawler as intense and incredible as the Symbiote Suit. It would definitely be interesting to see Tom Holland go through the emotional struggle brought on by this dark look. Though there would have to be some tense negotiations with Sony to bring Venom into the MCU, we could definitely see this happening.
During this series, we see Peter Parker go through both an internal struggle with the Symbiote's influence and eventually with the vicious Venom. Featuring a similar tale would give the MCU some tense drama and conflict.
Maximum Carnage
While we're on the subject of Symbiotes, we definitely need a place for both Venom and Carnage in the Spiderverse and Maximum Carnage is the way to go. Easily one of the most action-packed and star-studded sagas in Spider-Man's library, we'd love to see an MCU version of this powerful story.

Seeing Spidey team up with Venom and a host of other famous faces such as Black Cat and Iron Fist would grab the eyes of nearly every Marvel fan. Though it might be difficult with certain characters like Captain America absent, we have no doubt the studio can find a way to manage.
Spiderman 2099
Whether it would be handled by Marvel or Sony's Spiderverse, we'd still love to see Spiderman 2099 on the big screen in some form or fashion. Though Tom Holland's Peter Parker might not be required, we'd still love to see how he would interact with Miguel O'Hara.
A futuristic MCU film would definitely be interesting and intriguing, to say the least. Or maybe it would be better as a Disney+ series. Either way, we'd love to see a more sci-fi inspired Spider-Man with more than a few surprises along the way. We're game for it if you are, Marvel.
The Hobgoblin Series
Granted, we know this film can't exist without the presence of Norman Osborn/the Green Goblin, but considering Ned Leeds is already a character in the Homecoming series, we think it's only a matter of time before we see him put on the mask. It's a great what-if scenario, but time will tell if we see it come to pass.
Once we get past the Green Goblin storyline, the Hobgoblin could be right around the corner. The MCU definitely has a knack for creating stories using the comics as the backbone, so we wouldn't mind if a handful of creative choices were made for this affair.
How Green Was My Goblin
Spider-Man without the Green Goblin is like Batman without the Joker; they're bound to show up together, eventually. There are few villains as dangerous or as iconic in the Spiderverse as the Green Goblin, and this series is by far one of his most memorable features. It's definitely a story the MCU could adapt and bring to the big screen easily.
It's a tale of heroes, monsters, and secret identities any Spider-Man fan would flip their tights for. They might have to pull a Sam Rami and fuse stories to give us an appropriate representation, but we'd still hopefully get our Goblin.
Shed
We know the Lizard was already used for The Amazing Spider-Man, but considering how chilling and down-right scary the MCU made some of Mysterio's illusions, we have no doubt that they could make an awesome adaptation of Shed.
There are few tales as tragic or terrifying as that of Dr. Curt Conners, a scientist turned monster after an experiment gone wrong. The story depicts the villain not as a crazed individual looking to satisfy his own selfish needs, but as a broken man turned into a hideous creature. Definitely a more mature affair for our boy Peter, but one we want to see.
The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man
Definitely a narrative worthy of an Into the Spider-Verse-style of storytelling, but we can see the MCU adapting it with a little Disney touch. The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man is one of the most heartwarming stories in the character's accolades and is definitely more than deserving of a film adaptation.
By using Spider-Man's visit to a terminally ill fan as a framing device, we'd be able to see various adventures from the wall-crawler's career, including the murder of Uncle Ben. This storyline would not only give us the best of the hero, but also a tale to tug on the heartstrings as well.
The Sinister Six
A hero is only as good as his villain, right? Well, what about seeing the amazing Spider-Man go up against six of his most feared adversaries? Granted, we'd have to introduce them all into the MCU somehow, but at least we've got Mysterio covered... if we can bring him back from the dead.
Every Spider-Man fan worth their salt knows of the Sinister Six, and we'd definitely like to see them on the big screen outside of a cameo. We've already had the Vulture and Mysterio, but we still need the remaining four. We can only hope they get introduced at some point.
Spider-Man No More
Now here's a story that would definitely work if spun the right way against Far From Home's ending. Spider-Man No More asks the question "What would happen if Peter Parker called it quits?" Needless to say, the results aren't very positive. Crime rates rise, villains thrive, and Wilson Fisk aka The Kingpin becomes top dog.
What better way to bring Wilson Fisk into the MCU than a take on this gripping story? A New York City without Spider-Man is not a pretty picture. We've already seen the consequences of a world without heroes after the Thanos Snap. Should Peter hang up his costume, can the Big Apple handle another missing Avenger?
The Death of Gwen Stacy
Easily the most gripping and heart-wrenching story in the web-swinger's history, the death of Gwen Stacy is a major arc that shakes Peter Parker to his very core. Yes, we know we already saw this in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, but we feel that the MCU could present it in a more personal way along the lines of Spider-Man: Blue.
Though MJ is the love of Peter's life, Gwen can still be incorporated if the MCU pulls the right strings. This is a story that definitely needs a better screen representation. No offense to Emma Stone, but Amazing Spiderman 2 definitely rushed things with its presentation. We need to see this done right.
