April 14, 2016 by Gary Collinson

Former Batman Michael Keaton could be set to swap the DC universe for Marvel, with Variety reporting that the actor is in talks to play the villain in Sony and Marvel’s upcoming reboot Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Details about the role are being kept under wraps, but a rumour surfaced earlier today suggesting that Homecoming could feature an appearance from Adrian Toomes, a.k.a. The Vulture.
