Michael Keaton Talks Playing Vulture For 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'

Michael Keaton will be seen soon in Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures' Spider-Man: Homecoming as the villainous character of Vulture.

Speaking with Variety, Keaton, talked a little about his role in the film, the first topic was about playing a truly villainous role. "Yeah, Vulture, recently," Keaton said."But not to give too much away, but interestingly, he is and he isn’t, that character. He’s a really interesting — and more interesting than I thought — villain because there’s parts of him that you go, “You know what? I might see his point.” Really, really. It makes it interesting to play."

The interview further went on to ask whether he had any hesitation to be up for another superhero role, having already played Batman in the 80's. "No, I mean, not at all," Keaton said. "It’s just a thing. A gig. I don’t mean it’s just a gig, it’s the next job. And you think you can do it or want to do it and in fact I said no, because I couldn’t, it didn’t work in my schedule. Then I’m glad to say, they kind of shifted the scheduling and it worked out. So it fit in and I’m glad I did it."

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 neighbourhood Spider-Man – but when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened.
