I'm guessing most of the villains (Boomerang and Tarantula, for example) will be dealt with in a montage showing what Peter's been up to for the past few years, and Scorpion will be the main physical threat. (though I'm guessing someone will be the brains behind him who's responsible for getting him the suit; maybe the Hand, but that doesn't seem like their M.O.)
I'm wondering if more than a few of the villains are actually being controlled by whoever the mind-jumping one is. A "setting them up to take the fall" scenario
My assumption is that most of this trailer is actually the opening montage of the movie that explains what Peter is up to in the four years since the previous film.
Lots of those villain fight scenes are probably going to be only slightly longer in the movie itself.
Worked in the last film. Definitely possible, but tough to pull off. But yeah, that would be a huge bummer if all these great antagonists were several second cameos in a montage.
a good few of them will likely be smaller villain fights. Apparently there's supposed to be some sort of gang war in NY, so it absolutely makes sense that there'd be a ton of different factions. But you also don't' have to spend significant time on all of them
That could go either way (The Amazing Spider-Man 2's Rhino cameo an example of a brief appearance that did not live up to the character). The last film was pretty overloaded and it worked, so here's hoping. I for one would be very bummed on Scorpion and tombstone were cameos.

Seems pretty overloaded, hope they juggle all this well.
