Having only really seen flashes of Michael Keaton's Vulture in the first trailer, this second teaser goes big on his characterisation, establishing that he has some personal beef with Tony Stark and that he's kicking off a sort of class war against the rich and privileged. Couldn't really be more pertinent in the modern political climate, could it?

The trailer admirably sets up Vulture as a fearsome villain, showing off the spectrum of things his impressive wing suit can do but also establishing that Toomes himself is both creepy and threatening without his wings on. It's early days, but he looks like a rarely seen great MCU villain already. But then, that's what you get when you cast Michael Keaton.

There's also the introduction of the Damage Control sub-plot that causes his turn to the dark side, and which wil spin off into its own TV show soon...
