Past rumors hinted that the upcoming installment will feature a brand-new Spider-Man villain who has never appeared in live-action before. If this is true, it could rule out returning antagonists. As of now, the script is still undergoing rewrites after an earlier draft featuring Scorpion and Shocker was reportedly scrapped. 

Another significant development surrounding the film is the introduction of a new female love interest for Peter Parker. While Zendaya will reprise her role as MJ, reports indicate that her screen time will be “severely reduced” due to scheduling conflicts. This has sparked speculation that Black Cat, a potential romantic interest in the comics, could make her live-action debut.
