The Elementals have been confirmed to be the antagonists in Spider-Man: Far From Home and will be based on B-List Spider-Man villains.

According to a report by, ScreenRant, the Elementals are confirmed to be based on a group of B-List villains for Spider-Man: Far From Home. Rather than being immortal powerful beings, the Elementals will be much more different. The Elementals in Spider-Man: Far From Home are going to be more of a group of mindless, tough monsters. This may come as a surprise for some fans, but the MCU is known to have switched certain storylines in order to fit the stories that they are crafting. It was recently revealed that Quentin Beck a.k.a. Mysterio is from another universe, so perhaps not everything will be as it seems in Spider-Man: Far From Home.

According to Spider-Man producer Eric Carroll, the Water Elemental is based on Hydro-Man. Here’s what Carroll had to say about the Water Elemental.

“He’s of course inspired by… a B-list Spider-Man villain called Hydro-Man… He can get his power from [Venice’s] Grand Canal, so the larger water body he has access to can allow him to grow in size and strength. So that will be part of the strategy that he uses to, of course, defeat him.”

As for the Fire Elemental, Eric Carroll stated that it is based on Molten Man and described him as follows:

“Molten Man was always made of molten gold. A yellow, molten metal. So we took that, and again, we think it’s a really unique take on this kind of monster and we’re super excited for this sequence.”

Eric Carroll described Spider-Man: Far From Home as a new story for the character. In the previous film, Spider-Man had a more personal connection to the film’s villain and relied on strength to take him down in the end. Now, in Spider-Man: Far From Home, the team behind the film wanted Spider-Man to take down his villains using other abilities. In this case, Spider-Man may need to rely on his intellect:

“They all exist in the comic books for so long that we decided we think that’s because it puts Spider-Man in all these interesting positions. He can’t punch this guy – he has to use his real superpower, which is his genius-level intellect.”
