“Spider-Man: Homecoming” is set to hit theaters this summer and Michael Keaton will be returning to the superhero genre as he’s playing the Vulture in the film. Keaton recently spoke to Variety, and he teased that the Vulture will be a different kind of villain.

“Yeah, Vulture, recently. 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.”
Marvel films are often criticized for their villains so perhaps anything different is good at this point.
When asked if he was hesitant to take on the role and sign up for another superhero film, Keaton said that he was hesitant, but it almost didn’t happen because there were some scheduling issues.
“No, I mean, not at all. 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.”
“Spider-Man: Homecoming” hits theaters on July 7, 2017.
