SDCC '16: Have The Other Two Villains Of SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING Been Revealed?
Some potentially interesting news from one of the SDCC toy panels here. We know Vulture will be the chief baddie in Spider-Man: Homecoming, but do we now also know who'll back him up?...
As we know, movie-based toys are not always representative of the characters that will actually appear up on the screen, but in this instance there might just be something to go on.
During the Diamond Select Toys Minimates’ Panel at San Diego Comic-Con, one of the panellists seemed to confirm the two villains that would join The Vulture in Marvel and Sony's Spider-Man: Homecoming when discussing the line of toys they were planning for the movie: Shocker, and The Tinkerer.
Fans have speculated that The Shocker might be utilised for the film, but The Tinkerer has to be seen as a big surprise. Of course, it's entirely possible these baddies won't appear at all, but it's very interesting that they were mentioned in the same breath as The Vulture, and in such a throwaway manner - almost as if the trio of antagonists were common knowledge.
We'll update as soon as we know more, but for know let us know what you guys make of this.
