3) Michael Keaton
Former Batman Michael Keaton was apparently about to go over to the other team and join the Spider-Man franchise as Homecoming’s as-yet unrevealed villain, before talks broke down. However, we’re suggesting Marvel get chatting with the actor again – this time for the part of Jameson.
Keaton definitely has the screen presence and personality to fill JK Simmons’ shoes and he could make the role all his own with his typical fast-talking, eccentric style. If they wanted to flesh out Jameson a bit from the comic relief character he was in the Sam Raimi films, Keaton would also pull that off with aplomb.
Plus, we just really like the idea of Batman being in a Spider-Man movie. There’s an in-built reason for why Jameson hates Spidey right there – superhero rivalry.
