Michael Keaton Talks Playing The Vulture in Spider-Man Homecoming
A New Challenge
By Steven Carter
While speaking with Variety Michael Keaton gave a little insight into his upcoming appearance as The Vulture in Marvel and Sony's superhero blockbuster - Spider-Man: Homecoming.
“Not to give too much away, but interestingly, he is and he isn’t, that character,” Keaton said of The Vulture being a villain. “He’s a really interesting — and more interesting than I thought — villain because there’s parts of him that you go, ‘You know what? I might see his point.’ Really, really. It makes it interesting to play.”
When asked if he had any hesitations about returning to the superhero genre the actor said.
“No, I mean, not at all. It’s just a thing. A gig,” Keaton stated. “I don’t mean it’s just a gig, it’s the next job. And you think you can do it or want to do it and in fact I said no, because I couldn’t, it didn’t work in my schedule. Then I’m glad to say, they kind of shifted the scheduling and it worked out. So it fit in and I’m glad I did it.”
Keaton is of course most well known for his stellar work as The Dark Knight in Tim Burton's Batman films. The actor has since found critical acclaim in a self-referencing role in the oscar-winning Birdman.
We can't wait to see Keaton take on Tom Holland's Spidey in Homecoming later this year. Check out our full thoughts in our special trailer reaction podcast.
