The Tinkerer Confirmed As SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING Villain; Michael Chernus Will Play The Role
Back in May we ran a rumor that The Tinkerer might be aiding The Vulture as one of the baddies in Spider-Man: Homecoming, and now it's been confirmed. Michael Chernus will play the character.
JoBlo ran a rumor a couple of months ago (there were also other indications) that The Tinkerer would be aiding The Vulture (Michael Keaton) in Jon Watts' Spider-Man: Homecoming by building his suit "with recovered Chitauri tech from the Battle of New York", and now Deadline has confirmed the report.
According to them, Michael Chernus (Captain Phillips, Aloha, Bourne Legacy, Orange is the New Black) will play the villain, but they don't specify whether he'll be teaming up with Vulture or not. It's probably a safe bet, though.
Spider-Man: Homecoming also stars Robert Downey Jr., Marisa Tomei, Logan Marshall-Green, Donald Glover, Kenneth Choi, Hannibal Buress, Michael Mando, Bokeem Woodbine, Abraham Attah, Angourie Rice, Martin Starr, Michael Barbieri, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Zendaya, and many others.
The movie is currently set to be released on July 7th, next year.
