MCU: 16 Things We Learned From 4Chan's Latest Marvel Movies "Leak"

12. There Are Two Shockers In Spider-Man: Homecoming

The Rumour

As seemingly confirmed in the trailer, there will be not one but two Shockers in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Both Logan Marshall-Green and Bokeem Woodbine are billed as Shocker (#1 and #2) on the cast list.

Response

So it seems that rather than being the stand-alone, slightly silly looking villain from the comics with the tights and snazzy costume, Shocker will actually be a gang-tag. Both actors will carry the title, as well as having "real" names (Woodbine taking the comic book character's name, Schultz and Green playing Bryce).

Presumably that means we won't see the full comic book costume, and rather just the normal clothes with shocker gauntlets look we've seen in the trailers already. This is not a bad move at all (again, the comics character is a little silly): reimagining Shocker in a way that drops his billing and avoids any accusations of having too many villains involved is a great idea.

It's probably best to expect these guys to play a big part in the opening set-piece.
