Sylvester Stallone Eyes Spider-Man Actor for Tulsa King Villain Role
Sylvester Stallone has expressed a desire to cast a Spider-Man star as the villain in the television series Tulsa King.
Tulsa, OK, November 9, 2026 —
Sylvester Stallone, the star and executive producer of the Paramount+ television series Tulsa King, has indicated a creative interest in casting an actor known for portraying Spider-Man in a villainous capacity for the show.
The specific Spider-Man actor Stallone wishes to recruit for the role of an antagonist has not been publicly identified. Similarly, details regarding the potential villain character, the storyline, or the timeline for such a casting decision remain undisclosed. The desire was expressed by Stallone in a statement that did not include further elaboration on his casting aspirations.
Tulsa King, created by Taylor Sheridan, premiered in November 2022 and follows Stallone as Dwight “The General” Manfredi, a New York Mafia capo sent to Tulsa, Oklahoma, to establish a new criminal enterprise. The series has been renewed for a second season. The premise of potentially casting an actor associated with the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s web-slinging superhero into a contrasting antagonist role suggests a move that could draw significant attention from both fans of Stallone’s work and those familiar with the Spider-Man franchise.
The casting process for the series is ongoing, and further announcements regarding new characters and cast members are expected as production for the upcoming season progresses. The specific nature of the villain’s role, and how it might intersect with Dwight Manfredi’s burgeoning empire in Tulsa, is yet to be revealed.
