To paraphrase Monty Python," Bring out your old Marvel actors!!" It appears that Marvel will be integrating past movies and shows into their library as well as a couple of new films from the Spidey-verse. Who are the actors that have the most chance, or might reprise their role, of joining Disney/Marvel and moving forward with it. Some are confirmed, some are speculation:

Spider-Man:
Alfred Molina - Doctor Octopus - Spidey 3
Kristen Dunst - Mary Jane - Spidey 3
JK Simmons - J. Jonah Jamison - more than likely in Spidey 3
Tobey Maguire (not confirmed yet)
Willem Dafoe - The Green Goblin (not confirmed : but a big comic book fan and might be open to a cameo. CGI can do Goblin glider effects. Proper makeup instead of Power Ranger outfit)

Jamie Foxx - Electro - Spidey 3
Emma Stone - Gwen Stacy : could be possible that she might have the 'Spider-Woman' persona - Spidey 3
Andrew Garfield (not confirmed yet)

Michael Keaton - The Vulture : is already crossed over to Morbius in the trailer. Very cool!

Charlie Cox - Daredevil : has been on the set of Spidey 3
Vincent D'Onofrio - The Kingpin
Krysten Ritter - Jessica Jones
Mike Colter - Luke Cage
Finn Jones - Iron Fist

Tom Hardy - Venom
Michelle Williams - Venom
Jared Leto - Michael Morbius
Tyrese Gibson - Michael Morbius

Miles Morales - ? : someone will make an appearance in Spidey 3

Ryan Reynolds - Hannibal King from Blade : this is an inside joke of Ryan reprising Deadpool, in which he's in costume, and can also lead into the new Blade with this old character.
Hugh Jackman - Old Man Logan in Deadpool 3

X-Men:
Evan Peters - Quicksilver : already crossed over in Wandavision
James McAvoy - Professor X : the man loves comics - he's in, just has to be announced
Sophie Turner - Jean Grey
Tye Sheridan - Cyclops
Alexandra Shipp - Storm
Nicholas Hoult - Beast
Kodi Smit-Mcphee - Nightcrawler
Michael Fassbender - Magneto (would he want to do it?)
*Special note: 3 ways to do this: 1. new feature films with above cast. 2. Disney reboots with a Disney + series - just the original 5 members with McAvoy as Professor X - and then slowly introduce other characters as they go along. 3. Have a feature film - original 5 with McAvoy - and have a Disney + series inbetween films so new members and storylines are introduced. New film is a new team.

Zazie Beetz - Domino
Josh Brolin - Cable : since time travel will be big for Marvel, Deadpool 3 has a time travel/ dimension travel story with Cable and Old Man Logan. Expect jokes making fun of all universes.

I think people are getting them selves worked up and are going to end up being disappointed by what the multiverse in the MCU is going to be. They are going to end up using Evan Peters like they've used JK Simmons: in an original way not tied to his former appearance in a marvel movie not by Disney, as a nod to the audience and because they are good actors. And I just don't see them re-using most of the X-Men actors, they aren't going to rush getting to X-Men and Feige has shown over and over that he doesn't like to do things that have been done in none MCU movies.

The Spider-Man stuff is different because it ties into agreements with Sony combined with the fan expectations and the way the Spider-Verse was such a huge thing in the comics. I think most of the old actors appearing in Spidey 3 are going to end up just basically having cameos that play out as awesome fan service, but if people are going into that movie expecting more than that they are going to end up leaving dispointed.
