‘Spider-Man Homecoming’ details point to Scorpion, two Shockers, Prowler, Gwyneth Paltrow’s Pepper Potts and Cap
Spider-Man: Homecoming hits theaters soon and fans get another tease of the new film and future roles.
A screenshot of the cast list was released by Geek Tyrant and confirms Donald Glover is playing Aaron Davis, a.k.a. the Prowler and Michael Mando (Orphan Black) is playing Mac Gargan a.k.a. the Scorpion.
Homecoming appears to feature “two” Shockers: the Herman Schultz version is being played by Bokeem Woodbine (Fargo), and the Jackson Brice version is being played by Logan Marshall-Green (Prometheus).
Big news for fans is an Gwyneth Paltrow is listed as Pepper Potts and Jennifer Connelly listed as “Karen / Suit Lady.” Another secret revealed is Chris Evans appearing a Captain America.
Slash Film notes that “Connelly is the voice of the AI in Peter Parker’s Spider-Man suit from Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr). Presumably Peter calls her ‘suit lady’ at some point while communicating with the AI, hence the credit that initially sounded like the role of a minor extra. Remember that Paul Bettany was the voice JARVIS in Tony Stark’s Iron Man suit, who also happens to be Jennifer Connelly’s husband. That also means if we can get Russell Crowe to be an AI voice in another Marvel Studios movie, then we can have the entire primary cast of A Beautiful Mind join the Marvel Cinematic Universe.”
Stan Lee’s cameo is confirmed as well: a character named “Gary.”
Spider-Man: Homecoming hits theaters on July 7.
Synopsis: Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, young Peter Parker returns home to live with his Aunt May.
