If Michael Keaton didn't want to return, would you be okay with a recasting?


Say in the future they decide to introduce the Sinister Six, meaning the return of the Vulture... Now, Michael Keaton was only signed for one movie... So, he's not obligated to return to the role...

So, if they were going to use the Vulture again, but Michael Keaton decided he didn't want to return to the role for some reason, would you be okay if they recast the role and referred to the character as Blackie Drago, the second Vulture?

I don't see why Michael Keaton wouldn't want to return, but just in case, they could always introduce another character taking over the wings.

After his character's mid-credit redemption scene, it wouldn't make much sense for him to join the Sinister Six.

As I’m sure you’re aware by now, Keaton is set to return for the sequel! I did believe seeing Toomes again so soon was out of the question, but word is he’ll be back alright. You know what that means? Time to speculate what his purpose in the movie shall be! He could come back as a good guy for all we know, but I’ll just say this right now... I’m feeling the Sinister Six is upon us.

That aside, would I have been okay if Keaton had been recast? Negative. It would’ve felt “improper” to recast his character or even have Drago assume the Vulture mantel so soon. Keaton’s Vulture was one of the most well-received villains in the MCU, so I can only imagine how much of a stir there would have been had they switched the Vulture roles. Knowing Marvel of course, they could have easily pulled it off and provide a good reason for the change. All in all, Keaton returning is for the best. Although I must admit, the fact that Mysterio is finally appearing in a live-action Spider-Man movie excites me just a little more.
