Spider-Man: Star Teases Ned Leeds Villain Potential

In Brand New Day's record-breaking run, Ned Leeds doesn't remember who Peter Parker is—but he does know Spider-Man saved him, so naturally he builds an app to track the wall-crawler. His motivations here are supposedly good, but comic readers know the score. Ned has a well-documented history of going dark in the source material. The actor recently confirmed speculation about what would push his character toward villainy, raising the question of whether the MCU will actually follow through on that darker arc or keep him as the loyal sidekick.
