John Leguizamo says he nearly played Vulture in 'Spider-Man: Homecoming.'

Nearly six years after the release of Marvel Studios' Spider-Man: Homecoming, fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe may have a hard time imagining anyone other than Michael Keaton playing the villainous-yet-sympathetic Adrian Toomes, a.k.a. 'Vulture.' But in a new interview with ComicBook.com, actor John Leguizamo says that he nearly played the part instead.
