Overview
- On Monday, July 13, 2026 Miranda told Josh Horowitz’s podcast that Marvel Studios offered him the role of the Vulture for Spider‑Man: Homecoming.
- Miranda said Marvel chief Kevin Feige called and laid out the film’s plot in full and later told Miranda that his shocked reaction convinced him the story would work.
- He declined because shooting would have begun the moment he stepped off the Hamilton stage and he did not want the impact that schedule would have on his marriage.
- Miranda praised Michael Keaton as the right choice and said he would have been miscast, a view echoed by critics who say Keaton’s age and screen history gave the villain the film’s necessary tone.
- The reports are retrospective: coverage so far rests on Miranda’s on‑the‑record account and analysis, and no new production documents or independent corroboration have been published.
