He’s actually no stranger to Tombstone, having voiced the role for 2018′s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and for the upcoming Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.
Here’s what Marvel says about the villain: “Born an albino, Tombstone experiences bullying at school and grows up to become the bully in the form of a hitman and aspiring gang lord.” He has “superhuman strength—able to lift 6 tons—reflexes and skin toughness, making him bulletproof and highly resistant to temperature extremes (-80° F to 1200° F) and somewhat insulated from electricity. Tombstone’s teeth are filed to sharp points. He is adept with conventional firearms and a skilled streetfighter, specializing in strangulation.”
News of the casting comes on the heels of the film’s star, Tom Holland, suffering a concussion on set. Production is actually halted as a result, but will resume next week.
