Spider-Man (2002): Peter Parker is late for Thanksgiving dinner, injured from a previous fight with the Green Goblin. Unfortunately for him, he's sitting directly next to the Green Goblin as Norman Osborne, who is VERY interested in how Peter got the same wounds he inflicted on Spider-Man. (I also like how Peter's wearing Green Goblin colors and Norman's wearing Spider-Man colors.)

Spider-Man: Homecoming (2016): Peter Parker is off to prom with his date Liz and her father, the Vulture. He slowly realizes over the car ride that this little twerp dating his daughter is also the little twerp wrecking his criminal operation.

I'm not sure it's the same trope because you're unaware of who the villain is but Weapons does that
