Toy Art Shows Shocker In “Spider-Man: Homecoming”

While the trailers for Marvel and Sony’s “Spider-Man: Homecoming” have given us a good glimpse of Michael Keaton’s villain The Vulture, we know that the film boasts at least three other antagonists whom will clash with Peter Parker (Tom Holland).

One is Logan Marshall-Green who plays a suitor for Aunt May (Marisa Tomei). One is The Tinkerer, played by Michael Chernus, who is essentially a one scene cameo. One big one though is Shocker, played by Bokeem Woodbine. Woodbine was photographed on-set in a basic outfit and has been only glimpsed in regular garb for the briefest of shots in the international trailer.

Now, a photo from New York Toy Fair has shown some tie-in merchandise box art which seemingly reveals Shocker’s final design which is very true to the original comic. From the trailers it’s suggested he’s a lackey of Keaton’s Adrian Toomes rather than a full-fledged partner. “Spider-Man: Homecoming” opens in cinemas on July 7th.

3/4: New York Toy Fair 2017 was a blast! Thanks to @firstordertransmissions and @makingstarwars, I was lucky enough to attend @Hasbro's off-site event today, and was blown away! This is Hasbro's best year for Toy Fair by far, and all of the Hasbro staff members were a class act! They held an amazing theater presentation talking about everything that they have in store for the next few months. We got sneak peeks at all sorts of toys including new 40th Anniversary Star Wars figures, Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 figures, and of course, Spider-Man Homecoming figures! Once I got to the show floor, my jaw literally dropped to the floor when I saw how amazing all of these figures look, especially @TomHolland2013's 6" Marvel Legends Spidey figure with Peter's head. It looks exactly like Tom! When the event was over, Hasbro was kind enough to send everyone home with a gift bag with some toys including Star Wars Black Series Figures and Marvel Legends figures! I was fortunate enough to receive a Black Series Baze Malbus, and a new Marvel Legends Green Goblin! They look absolutely spectacular! Hasbro has really stepped up their game over the past few years, and I am so grateful to @firstordertransmissions and @makingstarwars for giving me the opportunity to attend this year! Thanks again Hasbro for making this an incredible Toy Fair! I can't wait to get my hands on all of the Star Wars 40th Anniversary figures, the Guardians Volume 2 figures, The Last Jedi figures, and of course, the Spider-Man Homecoming figures! #HasbroToyFair #NYTF2017 #GotGVol2 #SpiderManHomecoming
