‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ casts Bokeem Woodbine (‘Fargo’) in villanous role
I can’t even keep track of the amount of big-name casting announcements for Spider-Man: Homecoming. So, I’m just going to pick up the ball here, with the casting of Bokeem Woodbine. Who fucking rules.
It’s time for our daily update on the cast of Spider-Man: Homecoming, which is once again adding more awesome names to its growing roster. At the very least, Marvel and Sony’s new reboot will have a fantastic and very diverse cast — one that now includes Fargo Season 2 favorite Bokeem Woodbine (as yet another villain) and Better Call Saul star Michael Mando.
THR brings news of both actors signing on for Spider-Man: Homecoming, with Woodbine playing a third villain opposite Michael Keaton and Logan Marshall-Green — heavily rumored to be playing The Vulture and The Tinkerer, respectively. Specifics on both Woodbine and Mando’s roles have yet to be released. Woodbine most recently appeared in the second season of Fargo on FX, in which he played a dangerously charismatic antagonist, while Mando is best known for notable supporting roles on Better Call Saul and Orphan Black.
Tom Holland will reprise the role of the iconic web-slinger following his debut in Captain America: Civil War, which also introduced Marisa Tomei’s new, younger version of Aunt May. The reboot additionally features Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark / Iron Man alongside Zendaya, Donald Glover, Martin Starr, Kenneth Choi, Tony Revolori, Laura Harrier and comedian Hannibal Buress.
Spider-Man: Homecoming hits theaters on July 7, 2017.
