During an interview with Toronto Sun, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige announced that Michael Keaton will indeed play the "Spider-Man: Homecoming" villain, Vulture. "We've had a wish list and most of them in the near term are coming together," said Feige when asked about future villains of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Meanwhile, Zendaya has been facing controversies after being cast as the love interest of Tom Holland in the "Spider-Man: Homecoming". "People are going to react over anything. But nothing is fact. It's like, you guys are just making things up at this point and then reacting to it" she responded (via The Hollywood Reporter) when asked about Mary Jane as an African-American.
It was also announced last March by Marvel Studios that Zendaya will play the character by the name of Michelle in "Spider-Man: Homecoming".
