Actor Stephen Oyoung who played the menacing Mr Negative in Insomniac's Spider-Man game has started a campaign on Twitter to reprise his role in the next live-action Spider-Man movie. He's begun using the hashtag #StephenForSpiderMan along with a reel of some of his coolest action moments to call attention to his desire to reprise his role.The reel shared by Oyoung contains multiple clips of the actor in films, TV shows, and video games. As well as his major villain role in Spider-Man, he's done acting as a Zabrak Jedi in Star Wars: The Old Republic and Rafe in Uncharted: A Thief's End, where he performed the choreography for the climactic sword fight. He's also going to be in Gotham Knights as Jason Todd, aka Red Hood.Some of you may say, "He played Mr Negative in a game, so what? That doesn't mean he should be in the films!" But you'd be wrong. FEAST, the organisation run by Mr Negative, real name Martin Li, makes an appearance in Spౠider-Man: No Way Home.
It's where Aunt May volunteers and where we see Norman Osborn go when he first comes through the portal into Peter Parker's world. It seems to serve the same function♔ as it does in the game, and it's even mentioned it's run by a Mr Li. The dots are there, the breadcrumbs have been placed, all we need to do i🔯s connect and follow them.
𓄧This all started when Oyoung tweeted, "es, I am seeing more and more rumors about Spider-Man 4 online. All I have to say is, Sony it’s ok if you lost my phone number. DM me."
It's not unheard of for this kind of online campaign to work, especially for comic book movies. After Donald Glover dressed up as Spider-Man for an episode of Community, a fan movement grew which led to the creation of Miles M𒆙orales and Glover's cameo role as Miles' uncle in the MCU Spider-Man Films. Simi Liu also successfully campaigned for his role as Shang-Chi.
Good luck Mr Negative! #StephenForSpiderMan
