MORBIUS Star Michael Keaton Reveals He's STILL Working On Something Adrian Toomes Related

It appears Michael Keaton has already wrapped work on The Batman in Glasgow, Scotland, as the actor has shared a photo confirming he still has a little more to do as Adrian Toomes, presumably for Morbius.

Michael Keaton first played Adrian Toomes, a.k.a. The Vulture, in 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming. After being defeated by the web-slinger, he landed himself behind bars and that was the last we saw of him...until the trailer for Morbius dropped. Somehow, Toomes is in another reality now, and the theories surrounding what might have led to that continue to stretch the imagination of fans.

It's possible that when Sony Pictures believed they would be producing Spider-Man 3 without Marvel Studios, Morbius is where we would have seen these Sony-owned characters start to cross paths. Now, in the wake of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Toomes might be a Variant or inadvertently sent to another part of the Multiverse alongside the other villains who know Spidey is Peter Parker. 

Keaton has previously confirmed he was part of reshoots, and after recently suiting up as Batman on the set of Batgirl in Glasgow, Scotland, he's back in Los Angeles for something Vulture-related.

This appears to be the Sony Scoring Stage in Hollywood, meaning the actor might be required for ADR. It's also possible he's there to shoot promotional material or event content for the eventual Blu-ray. Regardless, it's beginning to look like Toomes will have a larger role in Morbius than we anticipated, and the studio must have a play of some sort for these villains in its "Spider-Man Universe."

We'll find out when Morbius arrives exclusively in theaters on April 1.

Morbius, Kraven, Venom, Penguin, Joker all these villain centric projects going into development. They just don't interest me at all.

The exception would be Dr Doom. That could be an awesome movie. I just reread the FF annual the tells the first origin of Doc D and it's all there man. Make it happen Kev.

I don't even see the point for the Vulture now. His connection with Peter is erased, he shouldn't remember anything about him.

@KWilly - Ya. The tease at the end of Homecoming is totally pointless. Unless they are still targeting just Spiderman

@MrKeyzerSoze - Yea and no, I guess. Yes as it appeared to be a setup for perhaps lizard etc, but also not a waste as they probably knew they needed a scene to explain why Toomes isn’t just telling the world who Spider-Man is

@Knightrider - Lizard? It was a setup for Scorpion wasn't it?

@KWilly - Actually it increases the danger, in Vultures mind, Spidey denied him the big prize and split him from his family (and he doesnt remember Peter was trying to protect Liz), he will want pure and utter revenge, I look forward to him returning for a non-multiverse Sinister Six someday

between flitting between universes, Michael Keaton has it made. Throw a potential return from Catwoman in there (I wish), and Michael and Michelle Pfeiffer could have recurring gigs in the Marvel and DC universes haha (funny that Michael plays a villain in the MCU and a hero in the DCEU, while its vice versa for Michelle!)

@dragon316 - He says in his post "Little A Toomes work today". Are you that much of a dense idiot?
