With production onSpider-Man: Homecomingentering its third day today, the cast keeps getting bigger and bigger.Abraham Attah, who made his breakthrough feature film debut with last year’s Netflix dramaBeasts of No Nation, has signed on for an unspecified role inSpider-Man: Homecoming. While no details were given regarding his character, the 15-year old actor will most likely play one ofPeter Parker’s classmates.
While this has by no means been confirmed, it’s possible that the young actor could be playingMiles Morales.Donald Glover, who had actively campaigned for the role a few years ago, has also joined the cast, but his role has not been revealed at this time. It would make more sense for a 15-year-old likeAbraham Attahto play Miles Morales, though, since he would match up more with 20-year-oldTom Hollandas Peter Parker. Of course, we haven’t gotten any confirmation that Miles Morales is even part of the story yet, so we’ll have to wait and see.
Regardless of who he’s playing,Abraham Attahjoins a cast that also includesMarisa TomeiasAunt May,Robert Downey Jr.returning as Tony Stark/Iron Man,Michael Keatonas the villain, rumored to be Vulture,Logan Marshall-Greenis rumored to play another villain, The Tinkerer, andLaura HarrierandMichael Barbieriare in unknown roles. The cast is rounded out byDonald GloverandKenneth Choi, but nothing is known about their characters thus far.Abraham Attahis said to currently be on the Atlanta set, so perhaps we’ll get our first look at this character when the latest set photos surface.
There has been talk thatSpider-Man: Homecomingwill kick off a new trilogy that is set completely withinPeter Parker’s high school years. The story will reportedly follow Peter as he tries to balance his school work with fighting crime all over New York City. We don’t know how large or small a role Tony Stark/Iron Man will have in this movie, but there has been speculation that other Marvel heroes could show up as well.
