Why? Because he already played Birdman?

I heard that the Vulture might be the villain, so it'll be interesting to see his take on that.

Michael Keaton as the Vulture sounds fantastic. And I like the idea of using a Spidey villain not used in any of the past ones.

The new “Spider-Man” movie was written by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein and will focus on Peter Parker’s high school days. The writers are believed to have infused the superhero film with the spirit of John Hughes‘ classic high school movies.

Marvel’s Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal are producing “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” which will swing into theaters on July 7, 2017. The character will first be introduced to audiences via a rousing appearance in “Captain America: Civil War.”

Best known for playing Destiny Evans on the long-running soap “One Life to Live,” Harrier has previously appeared in the Anna Kendrick musical “The Last 5 Years” and the indie comedy “4th Man Out.” The model-turned-actress recently filmed Steve McQueen‘s HBO drama pilot “Codes of Conduct.”

Harrier is represented by ICM Partners, Soffer/Namoff Entertainment and Peikoff Mahan Law Office.

Also the Lobby Boy from Grand Budapest Hotel lol, he's really funny.

Other than Tomei, the female cast is worrisome so far. I'm not familiar with their work, but a Disney Channel pop star kid and a day time soap actress? Ehhhh

RDJ has signed on for the movie now.

At this rate, just call all these movies "Marvel Team-Up"

They must be really f*cking worried Spidey can't be a draw on his own anymore to warrant this.

[CyberCubed]

How much did RDJ ask for this time?

After seeing Civil War I completely understand having Stark be in this movie. I just hope it's not in a big role and that it also doesn't require him to be in the Iron Man suit.

I'd assume it's more in a mentor/student role and providing some tech. That and playing the "Agent Coulson / Nick Fury" of the Spiderman movie.

Considering how publicly Spiderman has previously crashed and burned, when he hasn't been met with "eh", can you really blame them?

[NinjaPug]

According to this report, Michael Keaton has turned the villain role down. That sucks - I thought he would've been a great Toomes if the Vulture rumors were correct.

Well everyone bitched that phase two didn't have more heroes showing up in each other's movies. Wouldn't be surprised if Cap or someone shows up in Black Panther, or Rhodes is in Captain Marvel, etc.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Honestly I don't think I want a character undeserving of sympathy like Vulture. Spider-Man has run into a lot of enemies over the years who aren't necessarily bad guys - they just have had bad luck, just like Parker.

The MCU is full of heartless villains; I want to see another Loki-like antagonist who the audience is supposed to support, in a way.

[ToTheNines]

Eh, the past 5 Spider-Man movies all beat that drum pretty hard, in some cases to the point of cheesiness. I'm ready for a dirty dealing crap sack like Vulture or Kraven.

[NinjaPug]

Seriously. I don't want another sympathetic villain in a Spidey movie. That's all we've gotten so far.

A fella can only dream about seeing "Kraven's Last Hunt" adapted someday.

Keaton declined. Who would he play?

[ZariusTwo]

The more I hear about this, the less likely I'm going to even like this movie. It's obvious they're going the New Avenger/Ultimate Spidey cartoon route with the character I've long despised where, instead of existing outside the fringes of the superhero community, he's embraced fully by it. It's a vision that led the character to ruin from 2006 onwards. There's going to be a whole generation of idiot kids who think this is how Spider-Man should always be.

I'm pretty glad Marvel wrapped up the story of MY Spider-Man with the Spider-Girl series, where none of this s*it ever happened to him, and he lived a perfect everyman life well into his retirement years.(And no, whatever happened in Spider-Verse did'nt count either according to Spider-Girl's creators, in fact, their one story for the event goes and points that out explicitly)

Dude, calm down. We have no idea how big Robert Downey Jr.'s part is. It could be as simple as a mentoring type thing, or it could be a rival to Oscorp.

Marvel's proven time and time again that they know what they're doing. It's time to sit back and let them do their jobs.

Jeez, this is part of the reason I never get on the 'Drome anymore. Everyone's so pessimistic towards everything.
