What happens in Vegas
used to stay in Vegas.
While at CinemaCon,
Birth.Death.Movies' Devin Faraci caught wind that comic book villain Vulture
will be making his live-action debut in Spider-Man: Homecoming (yes! that seems
to be the current title for the project).
It's unclear if the
Vulture is the main villain, supporting, or just someone used to fill the
opening scene of the movie since the upcoming reboot seems like it will be skipping
the origin story, and throw us right into the action.
Created by Stan Lee
and Steve Ditko in the '60s, Adrian Toomes, a.k.a. Vulture is a former
electronic engineer who creates a harness that grants him superhuman strength
and the ability to fly. Vulture is an elderly villain but not let his appearance
fool you, he is a strong fighter and a remorseless killer. At one point in his comics'
career, Toombs was able to siphon another person's "life-force",
turning himself younger while leaving his prey much older. This could
potentially come into play if scribes John Francis Daley and Jonathan M.
Goldstein decide to play the age game between Toombs and Tom Holland's much
younger Peter Parker. The inclusion of the character could also provide director
Jon Watts with cool set pieces.
Fans of Sam Raimi's
Spider-Man franchise know that the director was keen on having John Malkovich
play Vulture in his follow-up to Spider-Man 3, but he and the studio didn't
manage to find common ground and producer Avi Arad apparently wasn't as
enthusiastic on the character as Raimi so the film ended up falling apart. The
character was briefly teased in Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (above), but we
all know how that story went.
Spider-Man: Homecoming
opens in theaters on July 7, 2017.
