<p>Seriously, spoiler alert</p>
<p>There are already a couple of villains that have been revealed for <em><a href="http://ift.tt/177eBlk">Spider-Man: Homecoming</a></em>, the first feature-length Spider-Man movie in Marvel’s Cinematic Universe, but thanks to new set photos, another has been confirmed.</p>
<p><strong>Warning: The rest of this post will contain spoilers for characters appearing in Spider-Man: Homecoming. </strong></p>
<p>Based on set photos tweeted this weekend, it looks like Shocker is joining Vulture and Tinkerer. Shocker isn’t one of the more well-recognized villains in Spider-Man, but he is a member of the Sinister Six team made up of other Spider-Man enemies. It’s unclear just how big of a role Shocker will have in the movie, especially with two other villains already being introduced, but it looks like he’ll definitely be giving Peter Parker a headache.</p>

<p>Originally introduced in <em>The Amazing Spider-Man</em> #46 back in March of 1967, Shocker (otherwise known as Herman Schultz) was a brilliant man with a keen eye for engineering and inventing. He dropped out of his New York City high school, however, and instead of deciding to use his skills to pursue a legitimate career of some kind, he became a burglar and one of the world’s most successful safe crackers.</p>
<p>It was during one of his bank heists that he meets Spider-Man for the first time, and while defeating the web-slinging hero during their first confrontation, Spider-Man did eventually manage to defeat and send him to jail.</p>
<p>Neither Sony nor Marvel has confirmed or denied that Shocker will be in the film, but Polygon has reached out for comment and will update when more information becomes available.</p>
<p><em>Spider-Man: Homecoming</em>, <a href="http://ift.tt/1Fz1L8l">which stars Tom Holland</a> as the titular superhero, is slated to be released <a href="http://ift.tt/1jWyFNh">June 7, 2017</a>.</p>
