We don’t see much — just a couple moments. In the first one, we see that the Spider-Man emblem on the suit is actually some sort of drone. It’s not clear what the function is, but it seems to be something that Tony Stark added to the suit, which surprises the boy in the suit, Peter Parker, as played by Tom Holland. To us, this indicates that Stark put all sorts of gadgets into the suit that maybe Parker isn’t initially aware of.
The other bit we see is the Vulture descending on a plane and ripping into it with his metal talons, causing an explosion that sends Spider-Man tumbling down the airliner, which already seems to be damaged.
In a USA Today article, director Jon Watts talked about the Vulture, as played by Michael Keaton, and gave us some more details on him. Specifically, Adrian Toomes (the Vulture) is a blue collar worker who owns and operates his own salvaging company. They specialize in cleaning up after the giant superhero battles that leave tons of destruction in their wake. If you’ve ever read Marvel’s Damage Control — it seems like he operates a crew similar to that.
However, a new government organization, founded by Tony Stark, comes in and pushes him out of the way, leaving Toomes with a “bone to pick” with Stark. Spider-Man: Homecoming co-producer, Eric Hauserman Carroll, says Toomes “sort of becomes the dark Tony Stark” and he his crew — Shocker (Bokeem Woodbine) and Tinkerer (Michael Chernus) use “scavenged alien artifacts and stolen advanced tech to put together amazing weaponry to sell to other criminals.”
Watts says of his approach to this movie, specifically The Vulture, is “we’ve seen the penthouse level of the (Marvel) universe. We’ve seen what it’s like to be a billionaire inventor and to be a Norse god. We’ve seen the very top of this world. But we’ve never seen what it’s like to be just a regular joe.” Essentially, for Watts, sure his Vulture is a villain, but he “can be a villain and a real person too. Being a supervillain isn’t necessarily your full-time job.”
Watts went on to add that a bonus to his Vulture picking over the bones of every other battle is that his bad guys get all “this neat junk from all the other movies. It’s a really great starting point for the villains to have the Vulture picking over the stuff and finding the valuable exotic elements and having the Tinkerer assemble into something that could be used.”
We’ve got a bunch of regular joes all fighting a teenage superhero who is working with and for the man that took their jobs. We’ll get a new trailer tomorrow, but do we really need it? We’re all pretty much already on board, right?
He has two cats and knows all things about Doctor Strange but little else.
