Rumors have it that Thomas Haden Church may indeed be returning to play Sandman again in the next Spider-Man movie. He is just another in a long list of characters from the first two Spidey franchises that has been rumored to return. The only thing is, the more returning actors that get added to the list, the less I think they will actually get to do. Maybe they will all just have one brief cameo or they'll be a part of a Mysterio illusion sequence. I hope they aren't going through all of the trouble to bring people back just to have them quickly walk through the scenery.

Or if they do a multiverse story, they can add layers to the textures as CW did with the 90s Flash and the dead(?) superhero bodies at the start of the Crisis storyline. Where the 90s Flash confronts the Monitor
I wouldn't mind them coming back for some kind of prelude to the Sinister Six.
As for these two? I could see them being reformed through limited service in the Rossverse equivalent of the Suicide Squad. Perhaps even as the Garret Sanford Sandman and the JLE Icemaiden reincarnated!
With Andrew Garfield and (apparently) Tobey Maguire also coming back to reprise their Spider-Men, it seems that the movie is going full-blown Spider-Verse. Doctor Strange is figuring prominently in the movie, and Spidey will be taking a big part in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. So I think that Thomas, along with Alfred Molina and Jamie Foxx, will be doing more than walk-ons.
As for this cover, I like the premise; both of these characters have, in their actual comics, gone from villain to hero. For one thing, it gives me hope that Flint can share a cover with Wesley Dodds where they're working together instead of at odds. For another, as Cary suggested, this might be an opportunity to do an STFU version of the Suicide Squad or the Thunderbolts, where a bunch of reformed supervillains band together to do good instead of evil.
I liked it when the Sandman decided to try and become a hero. I really hated when some authors decided to make it so that Sandman had actually been mind-manipulated into being a hero.
What are anyone else's thoughts on that?

I think you're right, Ord.
Some comic book writers have their own "literary" preferences and basically say "Screw my readers!"
Sand & Ice mix so nice. Who would have thunk it? Who? Ross! That's who.
well I finally got the last word.
Only if you don't count the phrase...
"Merry Xmas to all, and to all a good night!"
:-)
