Spider-Man: Homecoming - 13 Biggest Rumours You Need To Know (July 4th)
6. There Will Be A Bigger Villain Than Vulture
And that big villain will probably be Norman Osborn/Green Goblin.
As BirthMoviesDeath reported even before Michael Keaton was first in talks to play the villain of the piece, The Vulture was only planned as a secondary villain, with someone bigger and badder lined up for the third act climax.
Adding that to rumours that both Matthew McConaughey and Bryan Cranston were being lined up to play Norman Osborn, it's been assumed by some that he will be the crowning reveal on the film after The Vulture has already been dealt with.
Rating: 4/10
None of the casting rumours for Osborn seem to have been corroborated in any way by anyone of note, and again, it would be strange for anyone to cast higher than Michael Keaton. We'd be faced with the old "too many villains" issue again for a start.
There is of course the possibility that Keaton is playing Osborn, and the Vulture link is a mistake, but it seems pretty firmly accepted that he's playing the birdman.
