Spider-Man: Homecoming (July 7, 2017)

[Deftscythe]

Ah Hollywood, where it's okay to change an established character's race, as long as you're not changing it to white.

Edit: I wouldn't give a shit if they had made Flash a different race, really, but he needs to look like the captain of the god damn football team. That kid looks like he spends his evenings humping a couch cushion because "nice guys finish last."

[Salodin]

They really should have just given Spider-man to Donald Glover and got their quota for diversity over with.

[kuronosan]

Or have him or Michael Jordan play Flash.

[Zealot]

Huh. I mean, she can always dye her hair red. Not liking that Flash, though. Maybe he'll be someone else.

[TheDirtyHobo]

Fuck, this stuff doesn't usually get to me, but this "alpha jocks should only be white" shit is the reason words like 'microaggression' exist.

My concern with the casting isn't that he's not white, it's that he doesn't seem to have the physicality for it. I'm fine with MJ, because MJ has never had a real purpose or defining traits outside of being Parker's weird obsession.

[6souls]

Harry Osborne or an entirely new character called Manuel are the other rumored roles.

[Zealot]

I'm gonna make a more educated guess than that article and say that girl is going to get a white wig slapped on her.

[kuronosan]

You mean Felicia?

[Zealot]

I do.

[kuronosan]

I could get behind that.

WHY SHE GOTTA BE THE BLACK CAT HUH

[Hirronimus]

Cause Mulatto Cat doesn't have the same ring to it.

[Qalbert]

[macross]

well they made iris west black in the flash so why not.

[Anoat]

That's cool. Downey was on Jimmy Kimmel the other night and Kimmel straight up asked Downey if he was going to be in the new Spider-Man movie and Downey said he wanted to but no agreement had been signed. Downey is pretty much Iron Man for life now.

[Hirronimus]

He is to Iron Man what Adam West was to Batman.

Birdman cast as the Vulture. YES

[Xno Kappa]

Was surprised when I saw that earlier considering he seemed to have sworn off superhero movies for a bit there.

[Hirronimus]

Birdman cast as the Vulture. YES

Article title and text is confusing.

Michael Keaton Joins ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ After All – Is He The Vulture?

He apparently set to play iconic Spider-Man villain The Vulture

So is he or is he not? Fucking hate these internet rags and their clickbait-misleading titles.

Variety article reports completely different on the issue.

Gotta love internet speculation.
