Someone is pulling all the strings in Spider-Man, gathering the most nefarious of nemeses together and forming a plan to take control of New York City. But who? Well we’ve played the game and know exactly who it is, but we ain’t telling just yet. What we are doing, is taking bets on who’s really hiding in the shadows, with a list that provides plenty of solid leads.
Proving that age is nothing more than a number, Adrien Toomes used his genius for engineering to take to the skies and cause all manner of trouble for Spider-Man. Cunning, dangerous and unhinged, the Vulture has nothing to lose and everything to gain when he picks at the bones of crime and makes every hero in the Big Apple keep an eye on the skies above them!
Michael Keaton’s Adrian Toomes is as blue collar a villain as could be in Spider-Man: Homecoming. He’s not looking to open a gigantic space-anus in the sky that will allow all manner of expensive CGI destruction to rain down on the world below. He’s just out to make a buck, to make a decent living. A position that the character finds himself forced into after his legitimate business of cleaning up after superhero brouhahas is intercepted by Tony Stark and he finds himself out of work and luck.
Feel like some more spider-related news? You do? Great! Because here’s a brand new trailer for Spider-Man: Homecoming as Peter Parker is about to learn that spandex doth not maketh the arachnid-themed wallcrawler superhero.
Marvel may have a handle on what makes their heroes tick, but the same can’t be said for their villains. Besides Tom Hiddleston’s ludicrous plans as Loki, they haven’t got a roster of ne’er-do-wells who can steal a scene. But that could all be changing with Spider-Man: Homecoming. You don’t just cast an actor like Michael Keaton into the role of primary antagonist the Vulture and not let him have some fun with the gig as the birdman.
There are plenty of clues and secrets hidden in that first trailer for Spider-Man: Homecoming. Let's break it down.
Who better than a former Birdman to portray the Vulture to Tom Holland's webhead in Spider-Man: Homecoming?
