For the past month and a half, we’ve been inundated with Spider-Man: Homecoming casting announcements. The film has turned into a massive who’s who of rising talent, and the amount of women and actors of color featured in the casting has been a major smart step for Marvel working to address growing concerns about their lack of diversity. The only off-putting thing about all these announcements is that they’ve been listing actors without characters. 

Now, we’ve got our first information about what heroes, villains, and supporting characters will be featured in Spider-Man: Homecoming. While not everyone is known (like Donald Glover or Hannibal Buress), we do have enough announcements to start forming a fairly accurate picture of the film to come. 

Martin Starr & Logan Marshall Good join Spider-Man: Homecoming

Damn, it must be casting season as this is the 4^th recent article I’ve written about casting news. If you haven’t been following the slow drip of casting news coming out of Marvel/Sony’s latest Spider-Man blockbuster, here’s the deal. 

We were all introduced to the new Spider-Man, Tom Holland, earlier this year during his star-making turn in Captain America: Civil War. Since then, Sony has slowly been announcing casting for his solo film Spider-Man: Homecoming, most notably with Michael Keaton, the original Batman, signed up. More recently Donald Glover, of Community and The Martian, was rumored to be playing a role in the film much to the Internet’s engagement. 

Now, two new names have joined the cast list in the form of Logan Marshall Good, of Prometheus and The Invitation, and Martin Starr, of Party Down and Silicon Valley.
