Well, I would use Mysterio as the first villain of the franchise. Kraven is a great pick, but I think he (like Venom or Carnage) should be used later down the road. I personally believe that Marvel should hold off on Kraven until Spidey's third outing, just because this Spider-Man in the MCU has just now stepped into the spotlight, you know? I think Mysterio would be a cool villain, because he's someone we haven't seen before on film. Since Mysterio creates illusions, we could see him create illusions of the Avengers and other heroes Peter met in Civil War (Cap, Falcon, Rhodey, etc.), just to play with Spidey's mind.

I think that Marvel should use Gwen as Peter's love interest. I know, I know; we just got her in Sony's last failed franchise attempt. But think about it this way; we could build up Peter and Gwen's relationship before having a proper adaptation of The Night Gwen Stacy Died, with a proper Green Goblin. Fans will be THRILLED to see a proper adaptation of this classic Spidey story. So yeah, use Gwen.

Speaking of Gobby, you need to introduce Norman and Harry Osborn in the first film, but DON'T make Norman the Green Goblin right off the bat. This was something that the Raimi films did wrong (in my opinion). Gobby and Spidey's rivarly is a very personal one, especially for Peter. He's fighting his best friend's dad, for Pete's sake (no pun intended)! So not only build up Peter and Harry's relationship, but Peter and Norman's relationship also. This will make a big impact on both Peter and Harry when Norman becomes the Green Goblin. Think of it this way; Cap and Tony fighting in Civil War is a very big emotional impact for viewers, because we've watched these characters grow over the years of the MCU, and we've seen them interact. The same feeling will return when you see Norman go insane and fight Peter, and when Gwen is killed.

Lastly, Iron Man. I love the MCU Tony Stark as much as the next fan. But don't give us too much of RDJ. Here's what I think they should do; say toward the climax, Peter walks in to find Tony sitting at his kitchen table. After a quick conversation, Tony can give Peter tips on how to defeat Mysterio. And then have Tony in an end-credits scene or something. Don't give us too much of Tony, but give us enough to keep us satisfied.

That's all I can think of for the time being.
