Comic-Con 2016 was a busy event for Marvel Studios. On top of releasing new movie information on Doctor Strange, Black Panther, and Thor: Ragnarok, they also took the time to give everyone’s favorite wall crawler a moment to shine.
They started by releasing the new trailer for Spider-Man: Homecoming. Unfortunately, it has been kept under wraps so there will be a small delay for everyone who wasn’t at the panel to witness it. Reports from the panel said Director Jon Watts described the film as:
“a straight-up high school movie, about a 15-year old kid. We know what it’s like to be a billionaire playboy inventor. We learned what it’s like to be an alien God… We’re going to learn what it’s like to be kid in 10th grade going through puberty.”
The convention wasn’t done with Spider-Man as a rumor was leaked at another panel. At the Diamond Select panel, the toy company let it slip they were already working on figures for the film and let three names slip out, Shocker, Tinkerer, and the Vulture. The Vulture had already been rumored to be the key villain in the film but this potential appearance of the Tinkerer and Shocker came out of nowhere. Hopefully these rumors will be found truthful later on. Let’s also hope the movie doesn’t get overloaded with villains like the last Spider-Man film was. With any luck it will just turn out the Tinkerer won’t actually fight but will just supply the technology for The Vulture and Shocker to commit crimes with. Further details can be seen in the video below.
