Ahead of Sony's Spider-Man: Homecoming release in July, thousands of rumours are pouring in about all the characters in the movie. Amongst those, fans have been crazy to know the identity of actress Zendaya's character in the upcoming movie.
Recently, some crazy Spidey fans revealed that Zendaya will be playing the character of Michelle Toomes, Vulture's (Michael Keaton) daughter. According to the junior novelisation of Spider-Man, Zendaya's last name is Toomes which indicates that Zendaya's character Michelle is the daughter of Spider-Man's arch enemy Vulture.
But a recent report of ScreenGeek completely debunked such rumours, saying that members of Reddit and Tumblr already have the leaked book with them which does not have any details regarding Michelle's (Zendaya) last name. The book which is written by author Jim McCann only describes her as "the artsy kid at his school full of science and math whizzes who loves to give Peter a hard time."
While the rumour is not completely proved to be false, Zendaya's character might come out as a twist in the plot of Spider-Man: Homecoming movie. The novel also reveals that Keaton's Vulture aka Adrian Toomes had a daughter named Valeria with a woman named Cheryl. But that does not suggest any kind of similarity of the surnames of Vulture and Michelle. None of the promotional materials reveal any such information as of yet.
The official synopsis of Spider-Man: Homecoming reads below:
Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, young Peter Parker (Tom Holland) returns home to live with his Aunt May. Under the watchful eye of mentor Tony Stark, Parker starts to embrace his newfound identity as Spider-Man. He also tries to return to his normal daily routine -- distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just a friendly neighborhood superhero. Peter must soon put his powers to the test when the evil Vulture emerges to threaten everything that he holds dear.
Starring Tom Holland as Spider-Man, Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man and Michael Keaton as Vulture, Spider-Man: Homecoming is set to be released on July 7.
