The highly anticipated Spider-Man reboot/new interpretation, Spider-man: Homecoming announced its villain at San Diego Comic Con on Saturday.
Marvel guru Kevin Feige was onstage with cast members Tom Holland, Jacob Batalan, Laura Harrier (One Life to Live), Tony Revolori (Grand Budapest Hotel), and poster Zendaya when footage from the new film was shown. This was not made available for public consumption.
It was also revealed that the villain of the film will be the iconic Spidey bad guy, The Vulture. He will be played by Oscar nominee Michael Keaton.
