This isn't something you hear everyday, but I've been waiting years for The Vulture to appear in a Spider-Man film. For real, you should have seen me on the day that Sony and Marvel officially announced that one of my favorite actors, Michael Keaton, was stepping into the role of Adrian Toomes AKA The Vulture. I freaked out. In fact, there might have been a celebratory dance involved.
Today, the first official clip of SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING arrived which features Toomes and his cronies uncovering a cache of alien tech in the aftermath of the Battle of New York from THE AVENGERS. Originally, the materials were meant to be turned into the authorities, but Toomes figures that it's, "It's time to change, too," as the fallout of The Avengers has had a major impact on the world around them.
You can watch the clip for yourself right here:
Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, young Peter Parker (Tom Holland) returns home to live with his Aunt May. Under the watchful eye of mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), Parker starts to embrace his newfound identity as Spider-Man. He also tries to return to his normal daily routine — distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just a friendly neighborhood superhero. Peter must soon put his powers to the test when the evil Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges to threaten everything that he holds dear.
SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING is directed by Jon Watts, from a screenplay by Jonathan M. Goldstein & John Francis Daley and Watts & Christopher Ford and Chris McKenna & Erik Sommers. The bombastic super hero film stars Tom Holland, Michael Keaton, Zendaya, Donald Glover, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Tyne Daly, Bokeem Woodbine, Marisa Tomei, and Robert Downey Jr.
SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING will web-crawl its way into theaters July 7, 2017.
