"He’s a really interesting — and more interesting than I thought — villain because there’s parts of him that you go, “You know what? I might see his point," Keaton said.

Keaton was also asked whether he was hesitant to star in another comic book movie after doing the two Tim Burton Batman films, to which the actor said no and explained he initially didn't sign on for Spider-Man: Homecoming because "it didn't work in my schedule."

"Then I’m glad to say, they kind of shifted the scheduling and it worked out," Keaton said. "So it fit in and I’m glad I did it."

Spider-Man: Homecoming hits theater July 7th. Peter Parker actor Tom Holland recently called Vulture's debut in the film "like a horror movie."
