Sign in to your ScreenRant account Michael Keaton will soon have a whole new crowd discovering one of his biggest box office successes. From being one of the most beloved actors to have ever played Batman to his legacy as Beetlejuice, Keaton's many movie roles have become some of the most remembered ones in Hollywood. While the actor continues to stay busy with new projects, a massive sci-fi fantasy film with the star is switching platforms this summer.

As the Marvel Cinematic Universe is getting ready for one of its biggest releases this year, Spider-Man: Homecoming is heading to a massive streaming platform. The 2017 film, which brought Keaton back to the superhero genre, will officially be available on Netflix starting on July 1. Focusing on Tom Holland's adventures as Peter Parker after Captain America: Civil War, the Phase 3 entry sees him go up against Keaton's Vulture, marking Adrian Toomes' live-action debut.

In Peter's first MCU solo film, the iconic Marvel foe is reimagined as a former business owner who goes rogue after the Department of Damage Control forces his company to fall apart. The Holland-and-Keaton-starring installment became a massive box office hit, as it grossed over $880 million worldwide. As of writing, its Rotten Tomatoes and audience scores remain solid at 92% and 87%, respectively.

Even though the former Batman star joined the MCU timeline, there was a time when he was almost in Spider-Man: Homecoming at all. After being in talks for the role, Keaton had to actually pass on the superhero adventure due to filming conflicts with The Founder. However, thanks to schedules getting retooled, he was able to sign on for the project by May 2016.
