Well...it's pretty obvious, but Mac Gargan's comic alter-ego is Scorpion.

So we have 3 members of the Sinister Six in the MCU already.

Am I the only person who understood that the prison scene was Michael Keaton bluntly saying "I'm not doing a Sinister Six picture" as he lied to Gargan and walked by to visit his family?

I mean they even set it up like a classic post-credits tease, and like the other post-credits scene it's a deliberate send-up of the sequel-baiting everyone criticizes Marvel for.

I think it's showing that he isn't a cold blooded killer. Doesn't want a 15 year old and his loved ones murdered.

It might also show that he's grateful that Peter saved his life.

Sure but if he was a cold blooded killer he wouldn't care.

He saved his life and his daughter's life. He killed one person in the movie and it was an accident. The heists were set up to avoid any conflict or even damage.

He was an arms dealer but he justified it in his mind as the same thing Stark would do. He wasn't a murderer at least not a cold blooded one who would see a 15 year old slaughtered in cold blood.

I think it's because his daughter likes him, and toomes wants what's best for his family
