After a well-received introduction in Captain America: Civil War, Peter Parker's next adventure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which will occur in next year's Spider-Man: Homecoming, quickly became one of the most anticipated affairs of 2017.

We've heard quite a few rumblings over the past few months that one of the main villains in the Jon Watts-directed film would be Adrian Toomes, better known as the notorious Vulture and while, Marvel Studios has yet to announce anything official, JoBlo has received confirmation that not only will the Vulture be heavily featured, he will in fact be the main villain of the entire feature. Following the release of JoBlo's report, Variety has learned that former Batman Michael Keaton (Spotlight) has re-entered talks with Marvel and is currently final negotiations for the lead villain role. Read more HERE.

Additionally, as expected, while the Vulture may be the primary antagonist, he will not be the only villain featured. The report claims Phineas Mason a.k.a. The Tinkerer will also be present and will aid Toomes in his quest to build the Vulture suit out of Chitauri tech the duo recovered from the Battle of New York. The pairing is especially interesting when you remember than both villains made their first appearances in The Amazing Spider-Man Vol.1 #2 back in May 1963. Also, with Spidey's rogues gallery being the best of them all, it's probably a safe bet that the Vulture & Tinkerer aren't the only two baddies we see pop up to say hello when July 2017 rolls around.

On another note, the last time we saw Peter Parker, he had just uncovered the hidden Spider light embedded in his new-and-improved web-shooters and the next time we see him, it sounds like we're going to see another Stan Lee/Steve Ditko-inspired costume upgrade Tony Stark provided for his young protégé. What is this modification? Well, according to JoBlo's sources, the latest version of Spidey's new costume will feature his classic Web Wings, albeit with a twist, that twist being that his Web Wings will deploy as needed instead of being a permanent fixture of the costume. If true, this would be the first time the Web Wings have been depicted on screen.

Tom Holland & Marisa Tomei will reprise their roles as Spidey & Aunt May, respectively, with Tony Revolori, Laura Harrier, and Zendaya rounding out some of the film's younger cast. Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr. will also have a mentor-type presence. Watts is directing with a script from Vacation scribes John Francis Daley & Jonathan M. Goldstein. Production is expected to kick off June 20th in Atlanta.

So, what do you guys think? Sound off with your thoughts below!

What Keaton said no?!?!

slickrickdesigns - 5/20/2016, 9:13 AM

Keaton should be JJJ anyway.

MattBellissimo - 5/20/2016, 9:14 AM

Web wings?! YES!

SmellofDuty - 5/20/2016, 9:15 AM

Web Wings, you say?

@dubjon - I still have the action figure of that spiderman I had when I was like 4. I loved the web wings!!

Granted, they will probably be smaller in the film, maybe used incase he runs out of webbing and can glide down safely, I can't wait to see it.

sparkadv - 5/20/2016, 9:16 AM

John Malkovich as the Vulture PLEASE!

Tidaltree - 5/20/2016, 10:12 AM

@sparkadv - That would actually be a great choice ...

bauhau5 - 5/20/2016, 9:16 AM

That logo needs to change. Here is my redesign.

DEVWoulf - 5/20/2016, 9:22 AM

@bauhau5 - I like the original more. It makes me smile and brings out the inner child in me. :)

Nice work though.

@bauhau5 -

Parker00 - 5/20/2016, 10:08 AM

@bauhau5 - That is a much better logo that you've done sir.

bauhau5 - 5/20/2016, 11:18 AM

@LEOSTRATOR - Yeah I can't see it either now? :(

dubjon - 5/20/2016, 3:33 PM

@bauhau5 - I can play this game too

TheRationalNerd - 5/20/2016, 9:16 AM

Well it's good to hear that the Chitauri's remains are becoming more resourceful for future antagonists. I just hope that it won't be the case for more villains to come. It seems like the events from the avant gers films plays a role in the set up for villains.

I wonder who else could be making their debut here.

I also HOPE that the suit looks more practical than ever this go around. Spidey looked way too CGI in Civil War.

TheRationalNerd - 5/20/2016, 9:17 AM

@TheRationalNerd - *Avengers*

MonsterSquad35 - 5/20/2016, 9:17 AM

I know that we wont see any goblins in this but man, one day...i'd like to see a menacing Hobgoblin.

Spider2YBanana - 5/20/2016, 9:24 AM

@MonsterSquad35 -
Agree. I always enjoyed Hobgoblin more than the Green Goblin.

MCUPhase3 - 5/20/2016, 6:46 PM

@MonsterSquad35 - well we already got two different Green Goblins and a New Goblin so why not make Norman Osborn become HobGoblin!! Then we won't get a third green meenie..
