Who will replace Michael Keaton for the Vulture in Spider-Man Homecoming?

Since Michael Keaton, the actor who played Batman in the 1989 film and its sequel Batman returns dropped out of playing the primary villain for Spider=Man Homecoming who is most likely to be the Vulture, the search for whoever Marvel and Sony will cast in his place has begun and until they announce the actor that will take the role in Keaton's place, it is time right now to go over some of the best candidates that are yet to be announced.

First up John Malkovich

the same actor who was set on playing Vulture in the cancelled Spider-Man 4 film is right now on everyone's wish list on giving it another shot for Homecoming if he is available on doing the part next up

Mark Strong

For an actor who most often does villain roles in various movie, Mark Strong, another contender for Marvel to cast as Adrien Toomes that even though he will be reprising his role as Merlyn for the Kingsman sequel, there is a chance he would still get the role of playing Vulture and if Marvel does approach him with the role and notifies him that his fellow Sherlock Holmes co star Robert Downey Jr will be in it, then hopefully Strong will agree on doing the villain in the upcoming superhero flick for all our sakes he had better

others involve Ed Harris

Christoph Waltz

Ralph Fiennes

Kevin Costner

John Wesley Shipp

and Kevin Spacey

Surely Vulture may not be confirmed to be the main villain of the movie just yet but based on the age of the actors that are lined up on playing the character he very much likely to be as his actor is yet to be confirmed. In the mean time feel free to decide on who Marvel should cast as the fly high villain Vulture while Marvel is yet to make the announcement on Michael Keaton's replacement

Besides maybe Kevin Costner, these are all great picks.

How about just not do Vulture? Shocker, Scorpion, Mysterio and Kraven are far better villains for Spidey to face.

I hate how many people want Kraven as Spidey's first solo villain. He makes so much more sense in a Kraven's Last Hunt adaptation, which would obviously be done later.

Christoph Waltz as the Vulture? No thank you, that would be wasting the vast amount of talent that man has.
