Bokeem Woodbine Joins 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' In Villain Role


Marvel is piling on the villains for Spider-Man: Homecoming, essentially the third attempted reboot of the character. Is that a reason for concern, considering that was one of the things that felled The Amazing Spider-Man 2? Not when those bad guys include Michael Keaton, Logan Marshall-Green, and now Fargo season two star Bokeem Woodbine.

Woodbine, who has appeared in numerous films such as Strapped, Black Dynamite,and Ray, will play an unspecified bad guy because Marvel isn't confirming anything. We do know that Tom Holland is taking over the Peter Parker role, along with Marisa Tomei as Aunt May, and Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man. Keaton is rumored to be The Vulture with Marshall-Green possibly as The Tinkerer, Martin Starr, Donald Glover, Zendaya, Tony Revolori, Abraham Attah, Laura Harrier, Michael Barbieri and more are part of the cast.

Directed by Jon Watts, Spider-Man: Homecoming opens July 7th 2017. [THR]
