With Michael Keaton apparently in discussions to play a villain in Spider-Man: Homecoming, Marvel and Sony are seemingly pushing forward at an increasingly speedy pace with the film.

Two new cast members have officially been added to the film; Laura Harrier, best known in the US for her role in One Life to Live, and Tony Revolori, who played Young Zero Moustafa in Wes Anderson’s Grand Budapest Hotel.

Speculators believe Harrier may pay one of Peter Parker’s famous love interests, either Gwen Stacy or Mary Jane Watson, while Revolori will play a high-school friend of Parker’s.

The film, which will be the second film to feature Tom Holland’s Spider-Man following Captain America: Civil War, will be directed by Cop Car’s Jon Watts and written by Vacation duo John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein. Marisa Tomei will reprise her role as May Parker.

According to rumours, Homecoming will feature cameos by other Avengers, with Sony and Marvel’s deal believed to require Marvel Studios’ characters to appear in the film.

Meanwhile, Deadpool director Tim Millar is hoping to one day see the web-slinger and the Merc with a Mouth team-up on the big screen one day. In a recent interview, he explained how he’s hoping Fox and Marvel will one day make a deal.
