Spider-Man: Homecoming has cast young actor Michael Barbieri in an unknown role. This news makes it the first new official announcement since Robert Downey Jr. revealed he will appear in the new Spider-Man film and rumours of Michael Keaton’s negotiations.
While his role has not been stated yet, given his age it would be no surprise if he is playing someone at Peter Parker’s school or even Harry Osborn. Barbieri made his feature film debut earlier this year in Little Men and is set to star in the adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower with Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey.

Marvel’s Kevin Feige and Sony’s Amy Pascal will produce for a July 7, 2017 release date.
