New rumours on the villains and costumes in Spider-Man: Homecoming have surfaced online.
The new rumours indicate that Adrian Toomes/The Vulture is definitely being targeted as the main antagonist for Tom Holland’s first Spider-Man solo film. This would be The Vulture’s first appearance on the big-screen.
In the comics, Toomes is granted super strength via a special harness of his own design which allows him to fly. The rumour suggests that his origin will be changed slightly in that the harness will use salvaged Chitauri tech from the Battle of New York. This would tie Homecoming to The Avengers (2012). The rumour also suggests that Phineas Mason/The Tinkerer will help Toomes build the suit.
Spider-Man himself will get some modifications to his suit in the form of web wings.
Spider-Man: Homecoming is scheduled for release on July 7th, 2017.

Following on from the rumour of a Star Wars Episode VIII scene shot in Ireland featuring the Knights of Ren, another rumour has surfaced with more details of Episode VIII scenes shot in Ireland.
*This is only a rumour and may or may not be accurate. However, if you’re looking to avoid any details regarding Episode VIII this is your SPOILER ALERT warning.*

This scene takes place before the Knights of Ren reveal themselves to Luke Skywalker and Rey (as described in the previous rumour). The scene is as follows:
There is smoke.
A ship appears to have crashed.
A group of men dressed as black knights with black helmets approach the smoky debris.
All of the knights then kneel around the smoky location.
It appears as if one of the knights perished in the crash or someone important is about to step out of it.
Star Wars Episode VIII is scheduled for release on December 15th, 2017.

An upcoming Lego set based on Captain America: Civil War features a connection to the second season of Daredevil, which was also released earlier this year.
The set, 76067 Tanker Truck Takedown, is based on part of the airport battle in Civil War. It includes mini-figures of Captain America, Hawkeye, The Vision and Spider-Man.
The connection to Daredevil comes in the form of the truck bearing a Roxxon logo on it. While it had been seen or referenced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe numerous times prior to Daredevil’s second season (including in Iron Man, Iron Man 3, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D and Agent Carter), the second season of Daredevil saw the Roxxon Oil Corporation play its most significant role yet with Matt Murdock and Elektra investigating foul play in its Japanese branch.
76067 Tanker Truck Takedown is scheduled for release on August 1st, 2016.
Thoughts on the set? Are you planning to buy it upon its release?
