Sony Pictures has released a new preview forSpider-Man: Homecoming, which focuses on the primary villain Adrian Toomes, a.k.a.Vulture, and the salvage crew that works for him. Michael Keaton reveals he took a different approach to this character that most would consider a villain. The actor says he does “corrupt things” to fight what he sees as corruption, namely Tony Stark, whose government company known as Damage Control, which cleans up after all of the Avengers battles, essentially put Adrian Toomes' salvage company out of business. So Toomes decides to use all of the alien weaponry to fight back, building his own high-tech Vulture suit.
This preview fromSony Pictures YouTubefeatures interview segments with Michael Keaton, who explains that his character goes on this villainous quest because he sees the rich and powerful likeTony Starkwho have it all, and he wants to know, “Where’s mine?” Michael Keaton goes on to state that Adrian Toomes and his crew are all guys who “work with their hands,” and since Toomes doesn’t have any super powers, he uses technology to “up his game”. We also see new footage of Peter Parker trying to chase down Toomes' employees, Herman Schultz (Bokeem Woodbine) and Jackson Brice (Logan Marshall Green), the latter of which is seen firing a Chitauri weapon at Peter, as he’s being dragged behind the fan by his webbing.
This brief scene could possibly be just after a scene we recently heard about in an unconfirmed rumor, which surfaced from the novelization ofSpider-Man: Homecoming, and also reportedly revealed the identity of Donald Glover’s character. The novelization detailed a scene where Herman and Jackson are meeting a criminal named Alex, played byDonald Glover, who is trying to by some Chitauri weapons. Spider-Man breaks up the meeting, and chases after Herman and Jackson, who escape in a van, which seems to be the sequence we see in this scene. Another report, though, claimed that Donald Glover is not actually playing Alex, with an IMDB listing revealing his character as Aaron Davis, a.k.a. The Prowler, the uncle of Miles Morales.
While we still haven’t gotten confirmation from Marvel or Sony that Donald Glover is playingThe Prowler, it certainly could set up some interesting developments inSpider-Man: Homecoming 2, which may or may not introduce Miles Morales. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige recently confirmed that there is aMiles Moraleslurking around somewhere in the MCU, hinting that this young character could certainly surface in futureSpider-Manmovies. Marvel has already confirmed a July 01, 2025 release date forSpider-Man: Homecoming 2, which producer Amy Pascal recently said will be set just minutes after the story ofAvengers 4, arriving in theaters June 14, 2025.
A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging super hero in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.). Peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine, distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, but when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened. Take a look at this new preview forSpider-Man: Homecoming, arriving in theaters exactly one week from today on July 7.
