Keaton is mentioned in the same sentence as an almost afterthought, so we’ll take this report with a grain of salt since that’s big news on its own. Gyllenhaal and Keaton taking on Tom Holland’s Spider-Man sounds like a pretty epic sequel, so hopefully everything in the original report turns out to be true. Jake Gyllenhaal’s name has been floated around for his first role in a comic book movie for several months now.
The Vulture, aka Adrian Toomes, ended up in jail at the end of the first movie after Peter Parker saved his life. Michael Keaton has been tight-lipped about returning, but it seems like a no-brainer, though it seems that a new villain, like Mysterio, will end up as the focus inSpider-Man: Homecoming 2. The end of the first film also saw Peter Parker decline Tony Stark’s invitation to join the Avengers full-time and we all know how that ended up.
Michael Keaton is enjoying some extra popularity this month for delivering an awesome commencement speech at his alma mater Kent State University. Keaton gave an inspired speech and then ended it by stating that he was going to leave the class of 2018 with two very important words.
