Possible New Details On The Tinkerer's Role In SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING Revealed
We recently learned that Orange Is The New Black star Michael Chernus will play The Tinkerer in Spider-Man: Homecoming, and a new report claims to shed some light on how he factors into the story.
Rumours about The Tinkerer showing up in Spider-Man: Homecoming have been doing the rounds for a while now, but that was confirmed earlier this week when Michael Chernus landed the role. We heard a while back that he uses recovered Chitauri tech to outfit The Vulture with his wings, and now a new report from Heroic Hollywood seemingly confirms that and more about this take on the villain.
Apparently, the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Tinkerer was fired by Tony Stark a few years back and sets out to prove that Iron Man made a mistake by letting him go. As a result, he'll be creating tech for both The Vulture and Shocker, something which is sure to cause a problem for the young Peter Parker.
There's really not that much here we couldn't have just guessed, but it's still very interesting. The Tinkerer having ties to Stark goes a long way in justifying Robert Downey Jr.'s presence in Spider-Man: Homecoming, while creating a big bad of sorts who supplies bad guys with tech does away with the need for overly complicated origin stories which plagued some previous Spider-Man movies...
