"The Shocker is a wild name" — Internet in splits as Bokeem Woodbine teases his MCU return as the Shocker

Bokeem Woodbine teases his return to the MCU as the Shocker — and honestly, it's well overdue. The Spider-Man: Homecoming alum may not have played the longest stretch as a villain, but he left an impression (and not just from punching people with shock gauntlets).

With the Spider-Man films being among of the MCU's most popular successes, it is only fitting that Woodbine gets a second opportunity at chaos. After all, if the multiverse can bring back five alternate Spider-Men, there has to be room for a little more high-voltage bad-guy action.

Maybe, the Shocker's been quietly working on his gadgetry, or maybe he's just waiting for the right moment to shock his way back into the game. Either way, Peter Parker might want to start wearing rubber-soled boots — just in case.

As soon as the news went viral, an X user (@Swagmetax) commented:

"The shocker is a wild name."

Someone on X aptly noted that the Shocker is a crazy name, and honestly, they aren't wrong. In the overall context of Spider-Man villains, where we have guys with names like Vulture, Mysterio, and Doctor Octopus (because plain old Octopus wasn't dramatic enough), the Shocker is still noticeable — largely because it sounds either like a wrestling character or an energy drink.

Now, with Woodbine hinting at a return to MCU, it's time to get crazy with that name again. The internet never fails to disappoint when it comes to responding to MCU news, and Bokeem Woodbine hinting at his return as the Shocker has gotten Spider-Man fans into a tizzy.

According to Comic Basics, when asked in an interview where the Shocker is, Woodbine stated:

That’s a very good question. I’m wondering the same. But I get a feeling it might not be the last time you see the Shocker.

Fans are already making jokes, creating memes, and arguing about whether the Shocker deserves a full villain story or just comes back to remind Peter he still exists. In either scenario, the reactions are worth checking out, so let's see what the internet has to say.
