Michael Keaton, who has made a late-career return to superhero movies, revealed he will be filming new Vulture material this week.
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live on November 17, Keaton was asked about his upcoming return as Bruce Wayne/Batman in the upcoming Flash movie. But during this, Keaton also revealed that he’ll be reprising his role as Vulture.
“I’m shooting tomorrow — I’m shooting Vulture stuff,” Keaton shared. When asked to elaborate Keaton merely repeated “Vulture stuff.”
Keaton was explaining how because the nature of filming a superhero movie can be so secretive and out-of-order that he doesn’t bother to ask too many questions on set. This is why he didn’t ask WB if George Clooney or Val Kilmer will also be in the upcoming Flash movie.
Funny enough, Keaton isn’t the first Spider-Man villain to reveal their involvement in an upcoming Spider-Man movie through an interview. Alfred Molina freely talked about playing Doc Ock again in Spider-Man: No Way Home months before he was ever confirmed to return,
Keaton didn’t reveal why he’s filming additional Vulture scenes and didn’t reveal for which movie, either. While the chances are high it could be for Spider-Man: No Way Home, the interconnected MCU means Keaton could appear just about anywhere.
If he does appear in No Way Home it would make a lot of sense as the movie surprisingly seems focused on Spider-Man’s villains. Also, read IGN’s 5 burning questions we have after seeing the brand new trailer.
