We've known for a while that the Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel will be a global affair and it now appears as if it's Mysterio who the wall-crawler will be chasing across the globe. At the end of the first movie, the wall-crawler obviously managed to defeat Adrian Toomes and put him in jail but it's now been confirmed that Michael Keaton will make his return in the follow-up as the villainous Vulture.
That's definitely a surprise considering the fact the character's story arc appeared to be over but the movie's mid-credits scene teased something for Toomes after he refused Mac Gargan's offer to out Spider-Man's secret identity and make him pay for screwing up his operation as an arms dealer. Could it be that The Vulture will be the mastermind behind the Sinister Six in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?
That's one possibility but it's equally as likely that we'll see Peter visit him in prison, perhaps for advice on how best to handle Mysterio. Then again, there's a chance he could have been the one who provided the former stuntman and VFX expert with the tech which helps him create those illusions! We'll have to wait and see but it's hard to escape the feeling Marvel is building to something...
