By now, you’ve probably seen the first official Spider-Man: Homecoming trailer, which was released last night and can be viewed below. It’s where we got our first all-too-brief look at Michael Keaton as the Vulture, the main baddie that our titular Spider-Man will face in the 2017 film. But if you want a better glance at the villain, Hasbro has released several photos of their upcoming Marvel Legends Vulture action figure, which gives us a yet another glimpse of the design.
While it differs from the original version of the character, its machine-friendly new look, complete with propellor wings and a metal mask, should hopefully win over even the most critical of fans. The six-inch figure promises an unsettling foe for our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man to face.
Of course, this is merely the first in what we imagine will be a long line-up of action figures designed from the movie. The rest should come in due time throughout the next few months, and it wouldn’t be a shock to see Iron Man among those released in the collection.
After all, Robert Downey Jr.’s universe-starting character is set to star in the new superhero movie, as seen in the aforementioned trailer. He’s also joined by Tom Holland in the lead role, as well as fellow supporting players Donald Glover, Zendaya, Tony Revolori, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, Tyne Daly, Bokeem Woodbine (FX’s Fargo), Marisa Tomei and a laundry list of others, we’re certain.
Directed by Jon Watts (Cop Car), Spider-Man: Homecoming swings into theatres on July 7th. How will it compare to the other five Spider-Man movies? It’s hard to say for sure, but based on his brief appearance in Captain America: Civil War earlier this year, we’re likely in for something really special with Holland in the suit. Hopefully we can say the same for Keaton, as we continue to get more looks as his upcoming villainous appearance.
