It’s only been a few weeks since filming began on Marvel and Sony’sSpider-Man: Homecoming, and already we’ve seen a number ofset photosas production continues in Atlanta, while several more cast members have been added. Over just the past week, actors such asAbraham Attah,Garcelle Beauvais,Tiffany EspensenandTyne Dalyhave signed on, although no details have been given as to who they’re playing. Today we have word that the superhero adventure has brought onThe Nice GuysstarAngourie Rice.
Like most of the new cast members before her, no details were given about which characterAngourie Riceis playing, andThe Hollywood Reporterdoesn’t specify if she has already started filming in Atlanta quite yet. While the cast keeps growing and growing, only a few actors' characters have been confirmed, such asTom HollandasPeter Parker/Spider-Man andMarisa Tomeias Aunt May. Marvel and Sony still haven’t released any official plot details, but recent set photos have been taken at a high school, and on a freeway that may be leading into Washington D.C., reportedly during a school field trip.
Neither Peter Parker love interest Gwen Stacy nor Mary Jane Watson have been cast. And it isn’t immediatly clear if either character will be included in this reboot. Some are speculating that Angourie Rice could be playing Mary Jane, as she does somewhat resemble former Spider-Man actressKirsten Dunst, though the blonde hair pegs her as a Gwen Stacy. There have been murmurs that Sony might be planning a standalone Spider-Gwen movie, so who knows if we’re looking at Spider-Gwen in the flesh here. That may be doubtful, though, as Spider-Gwen lives in an alternate universe. Angourie Rice is 15 years old, and while Tom Holland is 20, his character is supposed to be the same age.
Regardless of who she’s playing,Angourie Ricejoins a cast that also includesRobert Downey Jr.returning asTony Stark/Iron Man,Michael Keatonas the villain, rumored to be Vulture andLogan Marshall-Greenas another rumored villain, The Tinkerer.Tony Revoloriis set to play a schoolyard nemesis of Peter Parker, along withLaura Harrier,Michael Barbieri,Martin Starr,Isabella Amara,Jorge Lendenborg Jr.,J.J.
