Cast
Tom Holland as
Peter Parker / Spider-Man:
A 15-year old who received spider-like abilities after being bitten by a genetically-modified spider. Producers
Kevin Feige and
Amy Pascal were impressed by Holland's performances in
The Impossible,
Wolf Hall, and
In the Heart of the Sea, as well as his numerous screen tests for the role.
Holland stated he would take inspiration from
Tobey Maguire and
Andrew Garfield, the previous Spider-Man actors, but that he hoped to deliver something "new and exciting" with his take on the character.
Holland elaborated, "This is a very different side to Spider-Man
because you're going to see a kid dealing with everyday problems that a
15-year-old deals with as well as trying to save the city. He's
conflicted because of what it is he's trying to do and what it is that's
going on with the...
Avengers in the universe. Obviously after [
Captain America: Civil War]
we still don't really know what's happening and he's in the middle of
that world. So that's very exciting to explore that and also just to see
a kid in high school figure out what to do with his super powers is
really fun." Holland attended
The Bronx High School of Science in
The Bronx for a few days to prepare for the role.While there, he told a few of the students he would be portraying
Spider-Man, who did not believe him, which Holland felt would "bode well
for his performance... since it confirmed Parker as the web-slinger
would be a hard sell."
It took Holland between 25 and 45 minutes to get into costume,
depending on if he had to wear a harness for stunts underneath the suit. He is signed for three films, not including his
Captain America: Civil War appearance. Holland later expanded, saying he was signed for "three Spider-Man movies and three solo movies".
Michael Keaton as
Adrian Toomes / Vulture:
A man with criminal tendencies who runs a New York salvaging company and has a suit consisting of mechanical wings. Director
Jon Watts stated that Toomes would be different from other MCU villains like
Thanos and
Ultron,
saying, "It's fun to think that if Spider-Man is a regular kid who
becomes a superhero, there's got to be a bunch of regular guys who
become supervillains, too."
Keaton stated that Toomes was "interesting to play" and would not be
completely villainous, saying "there’s parts of him that you go, 'You
know what? I might see his point.'
"
Co-producer Eric Hauserman Carroll likened Toomes to becoming "the dark
Tony Stark," noting "He thinks once he has this money and power, he'll
have more control of his life."
Keaton added, "There’s a B-story to this guy that’s kind of really
interesting and really relevant. I would be lying if I said that’s why I
took it, but as we talked about it and did, I went, 'Whoa, there’s some
layers to this guy.' … This director’s [Jon Watts] is a very bright
guy, and he wanted to bring this issue out. A lot of people are going to
like him more than they probably want to, would be my guess."
Keaton was not hesitant to portray another comic book character,
despite initially declining the role because of scheduling conflicts,
after previously portraying
Batman in
Tim Burton's
1989 film and its sequel
Batman Returns (1992). Watts was inspired by
John C. Reilly's
Nova Corpsman Rhomann Dey from
Guardians of the Galaxy for Toomes' "ground-level perspective" in the film.
Zendaya as Michelle:
One of Parker's classmates. Zendaya described the character as "very smart, very intellectual, [and] always in her books."
Zendaya added that Michelle was not intended to be a love interest for
Parker, saying, the character "very dry, awkward, intellectual and
because she's so smart, she just feels like she doesn't need to talk to
people... So she comes off very weird. But to me, she is very cool
because she's deep. She's always thinking about something, always
reading."
Donald Glover
Jacob Batalon as
Ned Leeds: Parker's best friend and classmate. Holland described the character as a "complete gamer".
Tony Revolori as
Flash Thompson:
Parker's rival and classmate. Revolori spoke about portraying Thompson, who is generally depicted as
white in the comics, saying "I know how important the character is to
the comic-book fans, so I’m trying to do him justice."
Rather than being a physically imposing jock, Thompson was reimagined
as "a rich, smug kid" to reflect modern views of bullying; this depiction was largely informed by Holland's visit to The Bronx High School of Science. Revolori's character was originally known as Manuel.
Tyne Daly
Bokeem Woodbine as
Shocker: A criminal and an accomplice of Toomes, with powerful shock wave gauntlets.
Marisa Tomei as
May Parker:
Peter's aunt.
First reports of Tomei's casting caused backlash on social media, with
comic book fans opining that the actress was "too young and attractive
to portray the character", especially after the character had
previously been depicted by older actresses than Tomei. Regarding this,
Captain America: Civil War co-writer
Stephen McFeely
said that, for the MCU, they were trying to make Peter "as naturalistic
as possible...That's partly why his aunt isn't 80 years old; if she's
the sister of his dead mother, why does she have to be two generations
ahead?"
Robert Downey Jr. as
Tony Stark / Iron Man:
A self-described genius, billionaire, playboy, and philanthropist with
electromechanical suits of armor of his own invention and is Parker's mentor. Sony Pictures chairman
Thomas Rothman
noted that, beyond the commercial advantage of featuring Downey in the
film, the inclusion of Stark was important due to the relationship
established between him and Parker in
Captain America: Civil War, and felt that the development of that relationship would be a rewarding aspect of the film.Watts added, "You have to think about the implications of what he did in
Civil War,
which is pluck this 15-year-old kid our of obscurity and bring him to
Germany to embark on this insane adventure. And then he just drops him
off at the end of it while he continues his part of the story. There’s a
lot of repercussions to that. Is it a first step towards Tony as some
sort of mentor figure? Is he comfortable with that? Has he ever seen
himself as that? Or is he the one who’s needed the mentoring along the
way? I think it’s a really interesting facet of Tony Stark’s personality
that we get to explore in his relationship with Peter."
