Apparently, the cast will include [SPOILER]Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr. Strange and Jamie Foxx will reprise the role of Electro.[/SPOILER] It's unclear if the latter will be a J.K. Simmons type thing (i.e. he's playing a version native to the MCU) or if it's a multiverse type thing (and he'll literally be the version from the other movie). Though, the other casting announcement (see spoiler tag) does open that possibility.
The big question is then if they'll (just speculating, no evidence) have Tobey and Andrew show up. If they do (and it won't just be for a few seconds, that gets overhyped by trailers... and online buzz/fan theories), I just hope for two things:
1) That Tobey and Andrews Peter Parkers are depicted as having grown and developed since we last saw them. In 2021, it'll be 14 and 7 years since we last saw them (and that's assuming that SM3 and TASM2 are both set in the year that they were released. Haven't watched them in ages, so I don't know). Things should've happened to them (both in their role as Spider-Man and their personal lives), over that time.
2) That the three Peter Parkers (Tobey, Andrew and Tom) get depicted as individuals, rather than interchangable. Don't just have Tobey and Andrew be exactly like how Tom's Peter will be like in 10-20 years. Nor should Tobey and Andrew be like each other. Have them develop differently. When we last saw Tobey, he was having marriage thoughts about Dunst's Mary Jane. Have that have happened. He married MJ and they now have a daughter (May "Mayday" Parker) together. Andrew's Peter could've developed differently. Naturally, he couldn't have ended up marrying Gwen Stacy. But don't have him end up with the Mary Jane Watson of his universe either. If he's in a relationship, have it be with someone else.
