Spider-Man: Homecoming Adds Martin Starr & Logan Marshall-Green
The film gets even funnier.
Spider-Man: Homecoming continues to get bigger and funnier, with Martin Starr and Logan Marshall-Green the latest names to get caught in the film's casting web.
The Hollywood Reporter are saying the Marshall-Green (Pometheus, The O.C.) has been cast as a supporting villain, playing second fiddle to Michael Keaton's Big Bad, although there's no word on just which character he'll be.
Meanwhile, Deadline have reported that Martin Starr has also joined the cast, marking his second appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe after a small part as a computer nerd in The Incredible Hulk. It'll also be a reunion for Starr with John Francis Daley, who's co-writing the movie, after the pair worked on the great Freaks and Geeks back at the turn of the century. It's his casting out of the two that is particularly exciting, because he's absolutely killing it right now on HBO's Silicon Valley, and hopefully he can bring some of that cutting humour to Homecoming.
The cast for the film is quickly expanding, with these two announcements coming hot on the heels of the confirmation that Donald Glover (another actor with proven comedic chops) would finally get to be in a live-action Spider-Man film (our Film Editor Alex took a closer look at his casting here).
The film, which is due out next year, is coming along nicely, with the cast for Jon Watts' movie already including Tom Holland, Marisa Tomei, Robert Downey Jr., Kenneth Choi, and Zandaya.
Spider-Man: Homecoming is scheduled for release 7 July, 2017.
