It's been known for a while that The Grand Budapest Hotel star Tony Revolori will appear in Spider-Man: Homecoming as one of Peter Parker's classmates, but surely few expected that he'd end up cast as Parker's notorious bully, Flash Thompson.

It's a far cry from the previous actors to play Flash, Joe Manganiello and Chris Zylka, who cut more traditionally imposing figures, and of course, were white.

This suggests that Revolori will likely be playing a subversive spin on Flash, perhaps attempting to bully Peter with his smarts rather than his strength, or maybe in this continuity Flash will actually be a friend of Peter's. Who knows? Either way, Revolori is a great actor, so he'll probably nail it regardless.
