‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ Adds Martin Starr And Logan Marshall-Green
Sony’s little corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is starting to fill up. Following Tuesday’s news thatDonald Gloverwould be swinging by,Spider-Man: Homecominghas added two more supporting players.Logan Marshall-Green, best known for starring inPrometheusand for not being Tom Hardy, will joinMichael Keatonon the side of evil. AndMartin StarrofSilicon Valleyhas boarded in yet another mystery role.
Tom Hollandleads the superhero adventure directed byJon Watts(Cop Car).
The Hollywood Reporter got the scoop on Marshall-Green. Keaton is playing the main villain ofSpider-Man: Homecoming, rumored but not confirmed to be the Vulture. Marshall-Green will be a secondary baddie. Your guess is as good as ours about which character he’ll turn out to be. Spider-Man has collected dozens of villains over the years in the comics, and it’s also possible Marshall-Green is playing someone new entirely.
Marshall-Green is coming off of the excellent Karyn Kusama thrillerThe Invitation, and will soon be seen in the Cinemax seriesQuarry. His other credits include TV’s24,Brooklyn’s Finest,Devil, andMadame Bovary, though he’ll always beThe O.C.’s Trey Atwood to me.
We know even less about whom Starr will be playing. He’s tended to play nerdy characters onscreen, from Bill Haverchuck inFreaks and Geeksto Roman DeBeers inParty Downto Bertram Gilfoyle inSilicon Valley, though he’s also been quite good breaking from type in films likeSave the DateandAmira & Sam. He recently hit SXSW with the indie dramedyOperator.
Watts has been playing his cards close to his chest, so it’s not clear what he’s actually planning todowith all of the actors he’s been collecting. But it’s quite a roster. In addition to Holland and Keaton,Spider-Man: Homecomingwill starRobert Downey Jr.as Iron Man,Marisa Tomeias Aunt May, andZendayaas the as-yet-unnamed female lead.Kenneth Choi,Michael Barbieri,Tony Revolori, andLaura Harrierare also part of the cast.
Spider-Man: Homecomingwill begin shooting this summer for release onJuly 7, 2017. Marvel Studios is producing.
