Jamie Foxx confirmed, then erased said confirmation, that he was returning as Electro in the movie, and now Alfred Molina will return as Dr. Octopus.
In addition to Jaime Foxx and Alfred Molina, it is also believed that Kirsten Dunst (Mary Jane), Emma Stone (Gwen Stacy), Tobey Maguire, and Andrew Garfield will appear with Tom Holland inSpider-Man 3.

With the wild casting rumors, there are also some pretty wild theories about when Tom Holland will stop playing Peter Parker for the MCU. One theory suggests that Holland will do one more movie afterSpider-Man 3, which will introduce theFantastic Four. Jon Watts is behind the camera for the upcoming movie after taking on all three MCUSpider-Manmovies. While that would make sense, one can easily see Holland sticking around for a lot longer with Sony, depending on where the next movie takes the current Peter Parker story. Regardless, the next Spidey chapter is going to have to answer a lot of questions, no matter how many more movies are on the way.
