He then grabbed the bicycle, looked up in the air, presumably at the villain of the forthcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming feature.

It is rumoured the villain, who is to be played by Birdman star Michael Keaton, is none other than The Vulture, an elderly inventor turned powerful thief who has the ability to fly thanks to a unique anti-magnetic harness.

It is the first full collaboration between Marvel Studios and Sony, who own the cinematic rights to what is arguably the comic company's most famous character.

It came after the lukewarm response to the dismal Andrew Garfield vehicle The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in 2014, which despite raking in $709 million holds a 53 per cent rating on review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes.

This is the second reboot for the character, with the first Sam Raimi trilogy being both commercially and critically successful, though the third film was much less warmly received than the first two.
